Consulting
I take on a limited number of hands-on consulting jobs. Usually short, and only where I can stand behind the outcome.
This suits owner-run firms in the North East, and larger organisations with one specific technology risk question. It does not suit firms who want a supplier to run their build for them.
The resilience session
If the question is continuity rather than the wider automation work, start here. Ninety minutes, £450, on-site or remote, and the seven checks completed for your firm by the end of the session, with a dated record of what we found and what to do next.
The risk assessment
The European Technology Risk Assessment worked through for one organisation: your systems, your data, your suppliers, with a walkthrough and a written assessment you own, normally 15 to 30 pages.
£1,500 fixed fee. No subscription, no retainer. Remote, or on-site in the North East. It suits an organisation with one specific technology risk question it needs answered and written down. It is not a penetration test.
Where I can help
- Putting AI where judgement is needed, and well-written code on the steps that must be the same every time. Clear guardrails between them
- AI automation that has to work in a real operation, not only in a demo
- Practical delivery and technology risk on software projects
- Getting from "we have an idea" to something running and owned
Where I usually say no
- Open-ended agency retainers
- Building someone else's SaaS as the default offer
- Anything I cannot stand behind with my name on it
If that sounds like a fit, book a short call.
