AI Innovation Assessment

Expert evaluation that distinguishes between AI solutions that exploit technical potential and those that barely scratch the surface.

AI Leadership Advisory

Advisory services focused on developing internal teams and strategies for sophisticated AI implementation.

Fractional CTO

Part-time CTO services providing comprehensive leadership, team management, and strategic oversight.

AI Product Pioneering

Project-based development of AI products that maximise technical potential

AI Product Pioneering

Ideal for: Companies ready to invest in building specific AI products that fully exploit technical possibilities rather than implementing basic AI features.

Hands-on product definition, architecture, and delivery leadership for AI solutions that fully exploit available capabilities.

Most AI products use maybe 20% of what's technically possible. Through project-based engagement, we define and architect specific products that unlock AI's full potential. This involves hands-on leadership from product concept through sophisticated implementation, creating solutions that exploit advanced capabilities like hierarchical context management, self-improving systems, and novel interaction patterns.

What this looks like

  • Product definition that bridges ambitious vision with technical reality
  • Hands-on architecture and delivery leadership for complex AI products
  • Systems thinking applied to exploit full technical potential
  • Project leadership from concept to market-ready implementation

AI Innovation Assessment

Technical due diligence for AI investments and strategic decisions

AI Innovation Assessment

Ideal for: Investors, executives, and development teams who need expert evaluation of AI opportunities and technical approaches before major commitments.

Expert evaluation that distinguishes between AI solutions that exploit technical potential and those that barely scratch the surface.

Not all AI innovations are created equal. Drawing on experience building sophisticated AI products, we provide technical due diligence that identifies whether proposed solutions truly maximise what's possible or represent typical shallow implementations. We evaluate technical architecture, systems design, and implementation approaches to assess genuine innovation potential.

What this looks like

  • Technical due diligence focused on capability exploitation assessment
  • Evaluation of AI architectures for genuine vs superficial innovation
  • Investment analysis based on technical sophistication and potential
  • Strategic assessment of competitive advantage through technical depth

AI Leadership Advisory

Strategic consulting for building organisational AI capabilities

AI Leadership Advisory

Ideal for: Organisations building internal AI capabilities who need strategic guidance on team development, technology choices, and implementation approaches.

Advisory services focused on developing internal teams and strategies for sophisticated AI implementation.

Building internal capabilities for sophisticated AI development requires strategic guidance on team building, technology choices, and implementation approaches. We provide advisory services that help organisations develop the strategic thinking and internal capabilities needed to build advanced AI products, without hands-on delivery involvement.

What this looks like

  • Strategic guidance for building internal AI development capabilities
  • Organisational planning for sophisticated AI implementation approaches
  • Advisory on team structures and technical leadership development
  • Strategic consulting on AI technology choices and architectural decisions

Fractional CTO

Ongoing executive leadership across all technology decisions

Fractional CTO

Ideal for: Growing companies who need senior, ongoing technical leadership across all technology decisions but don't require a full-time CTO commitment.

Part-time CTO services providing comprehensive leadership, team management, and strategic oversight.

When you need executive-level technical leadership but aren't ready for a full-time CTO, our fractional service provides ongoing strategic and operational oversight. Dr Colin Kelly works as part of your leadership team, handling technology strategy, team leadership, vendor relationships, and technical decision-making across your entire technology stack—not just AI initiatives.

What this looks like

  • Executive-level technology strategy and planning across all systems
  • Technical team leadership, hiring, and performance management
  • Vendor evaluation, technology procurement, and architectural oversight
  • Board-level technology reporting and strategic technology communications
  • Full spectrum technical leadership from infrastructure to product development

Why our approach is different

Most AI consulting focuses on implementing existing solutions. We focus on building AI products that fully exploit what's technically possible.

While most AI products use maybe 20% of available capabilities, we architect solutions that unlock AI's full potential—sometimes creating new categories, sometimes dramatically improving existing ones.

Ready to maximise what's technically possible?

AI products that fully exploit technical capabilities require deep understanding, systems thinking, and sophisticated implementation.
