I help companies choose, order and accept an AI solution without overpaying.
For owners in manufacturing, energy and tourism: what exactly to automate, what it will cost, and how to check the contractor's work before the money is spent.
- 25 years in B2B and industrial automation
- 11 years running my own tourism business
- BABOK business analysis
- “We want to use AI but don’t know where to start or what it will give us.”
- “The contractor quotes a timeline and a price, and nobody here can check them.”
- “The system was built, it works every other time, and nobody can say where it breaks.”
- “Our data can’t leave the company, but we have plenty of work with text and documents.”
- “Leads get lost, capacity is counted by hand, reports are built at night.”
Process audit and automation map
We go through your processes and count where time and money go. You get a process map, a prioritised task list, effort estimates, and a clear answer on where AI is needed and where ordinary automation is enough.
Format: 2–3 online sessions + written report
Specification and contractor selection
A specification in business language, acceptance criteria, review of contractor proposals, and holding the price and the deadline.
For teams with a budget and no IT department
AI solution acceptance
Independent testing before you pay: where the system makes mistakes, what was never tested, what data leaves the company, what happens under load or when the contractor changes.
Report with test scenarios and reproducible findings
Ongoing support
Monthly control of results: metrics, process changes, improvements.
Monthly subscription
- Call. 30 minutes, free. I need to understand the task and tell you whether I’ll take it.
- Audit. Meetings, documents, numbers. Result: a map and priorities.
- Design. Specification, acceptance criteria, effort estimate.
- Build. By me or with a vetted team, whichever the task needs.
- Acceptance and support. We check the result against the same criteria we wrote down at the start.
Manufacturing and energy
Twelve years of industrial control projects: production dispatching, raw material and output metering, control systems on Siemens and Mitsubishi Electric hardware. I know what line downtime, shifts and work orders mean, and why “just add a neural network” doesn’t work on a factory floor.
Diving, tourism, hotels
Eleven years running my own dive company: licences, staff, boats, bots for daily trips and liveaboards. I know how occupancy is counted, where bookings come from and what happens in the low season.
How an acceptance test looks
An excerpt from an independent audit of an AI platform, anonymised. Each check is run several times, because an AI system can answer differently to the same question.
