Research
Published papers and reference datasets.
Method papers, architecture papers and documented datasets from our enterprise AI practice. Everything here is drawn from how we actually deliver — each item is free to read after a short form, and free to cite with attribution.
Working, method and architecture papers. Each states its approach, its audience and its limitations.
The Enterprise AI Readiness Index: seven dimensions that decide whether a pilot scales
A working paper describing the seven-dimension readiness model behind our AI readiness assessment, how each dimension is scored, and why governance and data foundations — not model choice — separate pilots that reach production from those that stall.
18 August 2026Paper · AI GovernanceA practical AI governance framework: control points from intake to retirement
A reference model that places governance controls at the six points where an AI system changes state — intake, data access, evaluation, release, operation and retirement — with the artefacts and owners each control requires.
4 August 2026Paper · Intelligent AutomationThe automation economics of document-heavy workflows
A costing method for document-heavy processes that separates handling cost, exception cost and assurance cost, showing why automation business cases built on average handling time alone consistently overstate savings.
21 July 2026Paper · Applied AI EngineeringRetrieval architecture for regulated enterprises: entitlements, evidence and refusal
An architecture paper on building retrieval-augmented systems where permissions, citation and refusal behaviour are properties of the index rather than instructions in a prompt.
30 June 2026Reference datasets published with a full data dictionary, grain, update cadence and licence terms.
Enterprise AI use-case taxonomy dataset
A structured taxonomy of the enterprise AI use cases we deliver, mapped to industry, decision type, data dependency, governance sensitivity and typical readiness prerequisites — released as a documented data dictionary for planning and portfolio work.
25 August 2026Dataset · AI GovernanceAI readiness question bank and scoring dataset
The full question bank behind our AI readiness assessment — every question, the dimension it belongs to, its weight, the evidence it asks for and the band thresholds — published so organisations can run the assessment themselves or adapt it.

45-minute strategy session.
Bring the problem, the constraints and the deadline. You leave with an architecture opinion, a delivery shape and a realistic budget range — no pitch deck.
