Most clients see meaningful time savings within the first six weeks - usually 5 to 15 hours saved per week across the team that uses the workspaces daily. The clearest signal: the people you trained are still using the setup three months later without prompting from me. If they are, the ROI compounds. If they're not, that's on me - which is why champion training and the 30-day support call are baked into the guarantees

The Sprint fee is £6,000 plus VAT. On top of that, you'll need AI seats for the people using the workspaces - typically £20 to £30 per user per month for ChatGPT Team or Google Gemini Business. For a team of 5, that's £1,200 to £1,800 a year. Depending on what we uncover, there may be small additional tool costs for any lightweight automations that prove genuinely useful - Make.com, for example, runs from around £9 a month and is usually a fraction of the time it saves. Anything like that is your call, never bundled in by default. If you want my support beyond the Sprint, that's a separate retainer conversation. I'll model your specific costs on the discovery call so you have a real number before deciding.

Three things: First, we use Team or Enterprise tiers of ChatGPT and Gemini, which contractually exclude your data from model training. Second, you remain the data controller under UK GDPR - I help you set up the Data Processing Agreement, privacy notice updates, and a Data Protection Impact Assessment for any high-risk use case, all signed off before anything goes live. Third, the AI Use Policy I leave you with covers what staff can and can't put into the tools, written to ICO risk-based guidance. None of this is bolt-on consultancy - it's part of the Sprint.

Hallucinations are real, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. The Sprint addresses this in two ways. The custom workspaces are built on top of your knowledge base - internal documents, processes, policies - so the AI is answering from your facts, not the open internet. Second, every workspace ships with prompts that instruct the AI to flag uncertainty, cite sources, and refuse to invent. The internal assistant is for first drafts and grunt work, not autonomous decisions. Anything customer-facing or financially material gets human review - and the policy makes that explicit.

Most failed AI projects fail for the same reasons: starting with the technology rather than a business problem, no executive champion, no change management, and treating it as an IT rollout. The Sprint is structured the opposite way. We start by mapping your bottlenecks before any tool is touched. Champions are nominated and trained as part of the engagement - not as an afterthought. The setup is built around real workflows your team already does. And every output is owned by you and your team, not by me, so there's no consultancy dependency when I leave. That's why the third guarantee exists: if your champions can't run it, I train them again at no charge.

No. The Sprint uses off-the-shelf tools - ChatGPT Team or Google Gemini - which run in any browser and need no infrastructure changes. There's no hardware to install, no IT project to scope, no integration work into your existing systems unless you specifically want it. Your existing staff run it after handover. If you have an IT lead, they're welcome in the kick-off call so they understand what's being deployed, but they don't need to do anything technical to support it.

Across the four weeks, time commitment is structured and predictable. Each stakeholder whose role is being set up does a focused two-hour working session with me - this is where I dig into their real pain points so the workspaces and context match how they actually work. Your nominated champions (one or two people, chosen by you) commit to four structured four-hour sessions across the Sprint. These are working certification sessions, with practical activities they complete between sessions to start driving business improvements independently. The certification is on a pathway to becoming CPD-approved, so champions leave with a transferable professional credential. The wider team gets a single 40-minute group session on safe AI usage and the policy. That's the full ask. No day-long workshops, no off-sites, no weekend work. Most of the build happens in my time, not yours.

Resistance is the single biggest hidden cost of AI adoption - and it's almost always caused by employees being told about AI rather than involved in it. The Sprint addresses this directly: champions are nominated by you and co-design the workflows, the all-team training is framed around what AI takes off their plate (not what it replaces), and the policy explicitly states no role is being eliminated as a result of the Sprint. If you can't make that statement honestly, the Sprint isn't the right engagement - and I'll tell you that on the discovery call.

You absolutely could - and many businesses do. The difference is what happens next. Buying licences gives your team access to a blank chat box. The Sprint gives them ten purpose-built workspaces tied to your processes, a knowledge base of your documents, an internal assistant that knows how your business works, trained champions who can extend it, and a policy that keeps you compliant. Roughly 88% of SMEs that buy AI licences without structured adoption never get past pilot stage. The Sprint is the structure.

The three Delivery Guarantees cover the most likely failure modes: working setup by 5pm day one, all deliverables complete in four weeks, champions trained and confident. If any of those three falls short, I finish the work at no extra cost - that's the guarantee, written plainly. Beyond that, if at the end of week four you genuinely don't believe the Sprint delivered the value we agreed in the discovery call, tell me. I will stay on and do what we need to fix it. If I cant fix it, I will refund your sprint fee. We wont move past the discovery call if I am not certain this will meet expectations.

The Sprint works best in admin-heavy B2B environments: manufacturing, distribution, fulfilment, professional services, field services, B2B SaaS operations, and any business where ops or HR teams are drowning in repetitive document-and-decision work. It's less suitable for highly regulated sectors (legal, finance, healthcare-clinical) where I can't sign off on compliance, and for very small teams (under 10 staff) where the overhead doesn't justify the spend. If you're not sure, the discovery call will tell you in 15 minutes.

The work is led by me personally - every discovery call, every onsite day, and every champion certification session. As the business grows, some specialist support sits alongside me: an IT and ERP specialist on standby in case we hit integration issues that need solving before the Sprint can land cleanly, and over time a small trained team to handle specific build elements as Sprint volume increases. What doesn't change: I'm the operator on your engagement, I lead delivery, and I'm the one your champions call in week three. I deliberately cap how many Sprints run concurrently - the value comes from one operator getting deep into one business at a time, not a team passing your account between three people.
