The Challenge

The Questions That Bring Leaders To Us

Every engagement begins with a version of one of these three problems. If any of them sound familiar, you are in the right place.

CEO · COO · CHRO

“We have AI pilots everywhere. But no strategy that ties them together.”

Scattered initiatives without a unified operating model create cost without value. We design the AI strategy and organisational architecture that makes every initiative compound — not compete.

AI Strategy & Operating Model

CTO · Head of Engineering · Chief Architect

“We want to build autonomous AI agents. We don't know where the architecture starts.”

Agentic systems need more than code — they need an orchestration architecture that defines how agents coordinate, where humans intervene, and how the whole system stays auditable. We design that.

Agentic Systems Architecture

CRO · CLO · DPO · Board

“The EU AI Act is live. We don't know which of our systems are in scope.”

The EU AI Act imposes obligations on AI systems you already operate — and fines of up to €35M for non-compliance. We classify your systems, identify your obligations, and design the governance framework that keeps you ahead of regulators.

OWASP LLM05: Improper Output Handling (Formerly LLM02): Enterprise Guide

The 2025 OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications renamed "Insecure Output Handling" (LLM02:2023) to "Improper Output Handling" (LLM05:2025) — but the underlying enterprise vulnerability is the same and, in most deployed LLM-integrated applications, it is still not fixed. Model output that gets rendered, executed, or interpolated downstream without sanitisation is how prompt injections cross the threshold from "the model said a bad thing" to XSS, SSRF, and remote code execution. Here is what LLM05 actually is, how it differs from prompt injection, and the controls that neutralise it.

AI Literacy: The EU AI Act Obligation Every Employer Now Faces

The EU AI Act's AI-literacy obligation entered into force on 2 February 2025, but 2 August 2026 was the moment enforcement architecture activated across EU sectoral regulators. The obligation applies whether or not the AI systems in question are high-risk, and whether the employer is a provider or a deployer. Here is what Article 4 actually requires, how the European Commission expects "sufficient" to be interpreted, and what a defensible programme looks like.

AI Audit: What Enterprise Leaders Should Actually Ask For

AI audit has moved from a niche practice to a board-level expectation. ISO/IEC 42006 gave auditors a formal accreditation standard in July 2025, KPMG became the first Big Four firm to earn ISO 42001 certification in November 2025, and EU AI Act enforcement architecture activated on 2 August 2026. Here is what enterprise leaders should ask for when they commission — or prepare for — an AI audit.
