Bringing ideas to light.

A UK practice

Light to complex technology.

We design and build AI-integrated business systems, conduct independent technology investigations, and develop our own products. A small number of engagements each year.

Practice

Four disciplines.

Every engagement is small, senior-led and directly delivered. A hard ceiling on how much work we take on in a year.

§ 01 / 04

AI

AI work spans two registers. We design and build AI enrichment, scoring and automation inside CRMs and operational platforms, where the system has to be trustworthy as well as clever. We also help engineering organisations change how they build software in the agent era, moving teams from writing code to orchestrating agents.

§ 02 / 04

Technology forensics & investigation

Independent technical investigation of suspected unauthorised access, data exfiltration risk, and integration-layer exposure. Findings suitable for legal and commercial use.

§ 03 / 04

Integration & data architecture

Cross-system workflow, binary and attachment sync, API design, and version-controlled automation across Salesforce, Jira, HubSpot, and n8n.

§ 04 / 04

Product development

Our own product work: currently PicoPouch and LumioLayer. Strategy, architecture, build, iteration. Running products we own keeps our advice on client product work grounded in practice.

Selected dispatches

Recent engagements.

Three of the latest. Forensics, AI-integrated systems and integration, each authored as its own dispatch.

Working principles

How the practice operates.

Four operating principles that shape every engagement we take on.

  • Small. A limited number of engagements each year. If we can't do it properly, we say so.
  • Senior-led. The person you meet is the person doing the work.
  • Discreet. Most clients don't want to be named; we assume confidentiality by default.
  • Fixed-scope, fixed-price where the work admits it. Day-rate where it doesn't.
