Questions SMEs ask
60 minutes · no charge · no obligation
Open a question to see the matching fixed-scope offer.
How can you use AI in your business?
Map processes, data flows, and tooling first — then prioritise 3–5 use cases with ROI estimates, without locking to a vendor.
How can you do AI governance?
Treat governance as a phased plan: classify data, set residency rules, decide build vs buy, and align to UK GDPR and ICO expectations — then keep someone accountable without hiring a full-time Chief AI Officer.
AI & Data Governance Roadmap
Tool selection criteria, data classification (public / internal / confidential / personal / special category), residency requirements, and a build-vs-buy decision framework.
EnquireFractional AI Advisor
Part-time strategic AI leadership: vendor management, roadmap updates, and staff upskilling — without the cost of a full-time CAIO.
EnquireHow can you use private data in AI?
Match deployment to sensitivity: keep confidential data on-prem or in a private RAG, route low-risk prompts to cloud APIs, and audit every tool’s data flows before you scale.
On-Premise LLM Deployment
Open-weight models on client-owned hardware (Mac mini, mini-PC, or rack server). Zero data leaves the building — suited to legal, accountancy, healthcare, and confidential workloads.
EnquirePrivate RAG Knowledge Base
Connect a local or private-cloud LLM to your documents, contracts, or CRM so staff get cited answers without exposing data to third-party training pipelines.
EnquireHybrid Cloud / Local Architecture
A routing layer that sends sensitive prompts to local inference and low-risk prompts to cost-efficient cloud APIs, based on data classification tier.
EnquireAI Data Residency & Compliance Audit
Review every AI tool in use, map data flows (input, inference, storage, logging, sub-processors), and produce a DPA checklist plus technical control plan.
EnquireHow can you run AI on your own hardware?
Size the box to the model — Apple Silicon unified-memory Mac minis for many 7B–70B workloads, GPU mini-PCs when you need more headroom — then install and tune the model for local inference.
How can you automate work with AI agents?
Start with one high-ROI workflow, pilot for 30–60 days, then scale to coordinated agents — using tools that fit the stack you already have.
Business Process Automation Build
Fixed-scope automation of invoicing, quoting, scheduling, or document processing — orchestration chosen for your stack, not a proprietary platform mandate.
EnquireAI Agent Orchestration Pilot
A single-use-case agent (email triage, lead qualification, meeting-notes-to-actions) built and monitored before scaling.
EnquireMulti-Agent Workflow Platform
Coordinated agents for end-to-end flows (enquiry → quote → invoice → follow-up), delivered as a fixed multi-week build.
EnquireDocument & Data Extraction Automation
Turn invoices, contracts, or forms into structured data — a proven first use case for SMEs under £5m turnover.
EnquireHow can you add AI to tools you already use?
Layer AI onto CRM, ERP, Slack, email, or accounting software — or give staff a private internal assistant — without forcing a platform migration.
CRM / ERP AI Integration
Chat, summarisation, or forecasting inside the systems you already run — fixed integration scope.
EnquireCustom Internal Chat Assistant
Private, branded staff chat backed by cloud or local models, grounded in internal knowledge for HR, IT, or sales.
EnquireAPI & Systems Integration Sprint
Short fixed-price sprints wiring AI into Slack, email, or accounting tools.
EnquireHow can you keep AI working after go-live?
Plan for adoption: a short hypercare window after launch, staff literacy workshops, then a light retainer for monitoring and updates.
Hypercare & Post-Launch Support
Defined support so adoption sticks and issues are resolved before retainer begins.
EnquireStaff AI Literacy Training
Hands-on workshops on safe use, prompt technique, and governance policy — addressing the skills gap most SMEs cite.
EnquireAI Management Retainer
Performance monitoring, prompt/workflow updates, feature rollout, and reporting.

Why this approach
We package AI work for 5–50 person businesses in London and South Bucks — clear outcomes, not open-ended consulting.
-
Fixed scope, fixed price
We agree deliverables and a price up front — so you are not left with open-ended hourly advisory and an unclear end date.
-
Priced for your business
We combine services and tools into packages that fit your business and budget.
-
Easy to approve
We size packages so you can say yes without a formal board process or a six-figure consulting programme.
-
Not locked to one vendor
Not tied to any single vendor — we pick what fits your constraints.
-
Right place for your data
We recommend on-site, UK/EU cloud, or fully local options based on how sensitive your information is — not on a partner sales target.
-
Try before you scale
We start with a short Opportunity Audit, then a focused pilot — so you prove value before bigger spend or a long-term tool choice.
