There's a problem on your desk that nobody owns. It follows you home, and you haven't had a clear hour to think about it since it arrived. Bring it to two people who've had the same kind of thing on their own desks. We'll look at it from a new angle, and stay in the room until your team can settle it themselves.
Each of these arrived without a job title attached. None of them needed a programme, and none of them got one.
A technology company's pitch wasn't landing. Two weeks later their founders could tell it from the buyer's side of the table, answer the cost question with a number their own team could move when the buyer pushed, and point to the technology case behind it.
A high-street chain's marketing chief had two questions: what moves the dial, and what would the teams do differently during and after. Afterwards the chief could walk the operation in twenty steps and say, at each one, what changes and why, with the evidence to hand when anyone pushed back.
An international software firm had grown by acquisition, and the leadership team was carrying different versions of the business in their heads. Afterwards they argued from one picture instead of from memory.
We're here for the part
nobody has had time to think about.
You bring one problem. We agree a fixed price for it and start, without setting up a programme or a long discovery phase. We aim to get you a first play back in a few days, and have you breathing out that you've got more people on the case.
You hire us for the angle you haven't got. We start by looking at the problem from somewhere you haven't been standing. The useful question usually turns up in the first conversation, and it's rarely the one in the brief.
It might be a model, a page or a working prototype: whatever lets your team see the point clearly. We build with AI agents, so it takes days rather than months, and the judgement calls stay with people. We'd rather show you something rough on day three than something polished in week six. People pull a rough thing apart, and that's where the answer comes from.
Your team makes the decision or agrees the number while we're still in the room. We leave them with the tools so they can answer the question if it comes up again. Anything we made on the way is yours to keep.
One fixed price per problem, agreed before we start. You'll never see hours on the invoice.
There are two of us, and that's the point. You get both founders from the first call to the last: Paul from the business side, Kouros from the build side. When a job needs more hands we bring in people we trust and the AI agents we build with. There's no pyramid of juniors learning on your budget.
We run our own firm on AI agents and build with them every day. We also know they'll agree with you if you let them, so a founder checks the models and the numbers before they reach you, and we say where AI did the work. Just ask us what it got wrong last week. There'll be something.
Paul spent 20 years at the BBC and 15 at the John Lewis Partnership, a good part of it deciding what to buy and from whom. Kouros has spent 35 years in engineering and business analysis for Tesco Mobile, Inspired Thinking Group, Barclays and the Rail Delivery Group, building the kind of thing Paul was buying. From both sides, the costliest failures we've seen were well-built answers to the wrong question, and we'd rather catch those before they get funded.
We spent most of last year showing people a model of their whole business and wondering why they went quiet. The whole business was too big a place to start. They wanted one problem settled. So that's what we do now, and we say so. We actually enjoy getting into the mud with your team on hard problem. And we name our AI agents after rally navigators! If we're not right for the job, you'll know it in the first conversation.
Sometimes a few weeks with a fresh pair of eyes won't settle it. For that, there's the enjn: a new engine for your business, running in eight weeks, fitted while you drive. It's real software, yours from day one, built with you by the same two founders. Everything about it, including the prices, lives on enjn.ai.
The kind that doesn't fit a job title: a pitch that isn't landing, a decision the leadership team keeps circling, a number nobody can agree on, or a tool that doesn't exist yet. The one we hear most is some version of 'nobody can tell me how this part of the business actually works'. If it needs a fresh look and something built to see it clearly, it's ours.
Days to a few weeks. We look first, agree the shape and a fixed price, then build fast.
One fixed price per problem, agreed before we start. If the problem turns out bigger than we both thought, we say so and agree the next piece. We've been on the other side of a running meter, and we're not doing that to you.
A decision your leadership team made themselves and can stand behind when asked, because they looked at the problem the same way. Whatever we made to get there, the model, the page or the prototype, is yours to keep.
Openly. AI agents do most of the building and the heavy analysis, and the two of us do the looking and the judging. A founder reviews the models, analysis and recommendations before they reach you, and we say where AI did the work. How we handle your material is on our AI page, linked in the footer.
We work from what you give us, we keep each client's material in its own workspace, and our AI tools run on settings where the provider says it doesn't use what we send to train its general models. The detail is in our privacy notice and our AI page.
We build with AI agents, run by two people who know what good looks like and have seen a lot of what bad looks like. It's the same way of working we'd recommend to you, and we'll show you ours if you ask.
You need to know how your business runs, and a calm way to change it when something real turns up. Call that an AI strategy if the board needs a name for it. Most AI strategies we see are a shopping list, and the hard part is knowing what the shopping is for. Start with the one decision you're putting off.
A few lines is plenty: what the problem is, what's riding on it and when it needs settling. You don't have to have it worked out. If you're not sure it's our kind of problem, send it anyway and we'll tell you either way.
Each is a real tool built from working with teams on complex challenges. Behind each card we'll share how we landed on the idea, how well it worked, and what we'd do differently (we won't pretend to get it right first time).
Our silo-busting methodology, explained in ten minutes.
Start the walk →A self-assessment people actually finish, and the clever option we threw away after just one test.
Try it →It worked on a busy order desk. Then we tried it on a product portfolio, and it didn't.
Try it →How one distance from police training gave meaning to a technical speed advantage, so potential aquirers knew what they were bidding for.
Try it →A game connected to a real business, where you can only progress by getting real work done.
Try it →Tap a card to lift it. Arrow keys work too.
