Before you get in touch
What does a typical engagement look like?
It depends on the problem. A board strategy session is half a day. A governance sprint runs 2–4 weeks. A full programme advisory is 3–6 months. We agree the format, deliverables and outcome metrics before anything starts.
Outcome: A signed-off AI strategy, governance framework, or programme plan — with clear KPIs, timelines, and board-ready deliverables from day one.
Do you work with the board or the platform team?
Both — and that's the point. The strategy is useless without the people who build it, and the platform is useless without a board that underwrites it. Every engagement bridges both rooms.
Outcome: Board and technology leadership aligned on AI priorities, investment envelope, and risk appetite — eliminating the gap that stalls most programmes.
How is this different from a consulting firm?
No leverage model. No junior analysts doing the thinking. You get the person who has done the work — at boards, with regulators, on 200+ engineer platforms — directly.
Outcome: Faster decisions, fewer iterations, and deliverables that reflect real-world implementation experience — not templated frameworks.
Can you actually build, or just advise?
Both. Through delivery partners in India, UAE and Saudi Arabia, we execute full platform builds, data products, MLOps pipelines and governance implementations — not just strategy decks.
Outcome: Production-grade AI platforms, deployed data products, and working governance tooling — not slide-ware.
How do you charge?
Project-based with a fixed scope and deliverable set. Ongoing advisory retainers for longer programmes. The first 30-minute conversation is always free.
Outcome: Transparent pricing tied to deliverables and value milestones. No open-ended timesheets, no surprises.
Which geographies and industries?
Financial services — banks, capital markets, insurance, sovereign institutions. Gulf primary: Saudi Arabia (Vision 2030, SAMA, SDAIA), Qatar (QNV 2030, QCB), UAE (CBUAE, DFSA, DIFC). UK and Europe as supporting markets.
Outcome: Regulatory-aligned, market-specific AI programmes — with direct knowledge of SAMA, QCB, CBUAE, and DFSA expectations built in.
