Advisory & research partnerships

Independent AI expertise for teams tackling hard problems.

Most AI projects do not fail on algorithms. They fail on framing, data, architecture and adoption. We help you get those right, guide your teams through the build, and bring your people along.

Ways to engage

Expert guidance, so your teams can build, adopt and own it.

We work as specialists, researchers and advisors rather than extra hands: we set the direction, design the architecture, coach the people and stay close while your teams deliver.

01 · Advisory

AI strategy & architecture

Senior technical judgement on what to build, how to structure it and where AI genuinely helps.

  • Data maturity assessments and infrastructure blueprints
  • Architecture of data, AI and agentic systems
  • Mapping and prioritising use cases
  • Diagnosing technical bottlenecks
  • Independent technical due diligence

Research partnerships

Our preferred model: your domain and data, our cognitive models, shared outcomes.

  • Co-developed research pilots
  • Licensing of our own IP
  • Interdisciplinary collaborations across health and deep tech
  • Joint grant applications (e.g. Horizon Europe)
  • White papers and scientific articles
04 · Retainer

Fractional AI leadership

A senior AI lead on retainer, for teams that need direction before they need headcount.

  • Technology adoption in health, education and public systems
  • Causal and econometric evidence for policy and value
06 · Teaching

Speaking, teaching & workshops

Clear, rigorous and inspiring, for executives, scientists and non-technical teams alike.

  • Keynotes, lectures and panels
  • Executive workshops on AI strategy
  • The scientific method for AI, data and biomedical research teams

How it works

  1. Discovery callTwenty focused minutes to dig into your problem, test a few ideas and see whether we are the right fit. No charge.
  2. ScopingA short written proposal: objectives, deliverables, timeline, fees and data terms.
  3. EngagementRegular check-ins, clear deliverables, and honest reporting, including when the answer is "do not use AI here".

Our principles

  • Independent

    No vendor commissions. Recommendations follow the evidence.

  • Confidential

    NDAs as standard. Your data stays in your environment wherever possible.

  • Rigorous

    We state uncertainty, limitations and assumptions in writing.

Dig in together

Bring the problem nobody has cracked yet.

The messy dataset, the half-formed hypothesis, the case three specialists could not explain. We will pull it apart with you, test ideas fast and find the thread that ties it all together.
