Before you invest in AI, understand what is actually worth doing.

Advice with agency.

Technology-agnostic AI readiness assessments and workshops for defence supply chain SMEs and UK businesses. Independent advice from a practitioner who builds AI agents, not a consultant who reads about them.

The problem

Your inbox is full of pitches. Copilot, automation platforms, AI agents, chatbots. Each one promises transformation. None of them starts by asking whether your operations are ready, whether the investment is justified, or whether the problem they solve is actually the one you have.

And when organisations do seek advice, the pattern is familiar: a workshop, a PDF, a handshake, then silence. The advisory fades. The slides gather dust. The decisions still do not get made, or they get made on instinct because nobody left behind a framework for making them well.

Agentic Advisory exists because the first conversation should never be a sales pitch, and the last conversation should never be a goodbye. We stay until the capability is yours.

Operational readiness, not awareness

We do not sell understanding. We build readiness: scored, documented, and actionable. You leave every engagement with a written output you can act on, not a set of slides to file.

Practitioner-led, vendor-neutral

Built on direct experience building and deploying AI agents, not on analyst reports. We recommend the right answer for your business, whether that is our own platform, Microsoft, or nothing at all.

Risk you can actually measure

Every engagement is framed around cost avoided and value gained. No abstract promises. You know what you spent, what you saved, and whether the next step is worth taking.

What we offer

AI Readiness Assessment

A structured review of your operations, processes, and data. We score your AI readiness across key dimensions and deliver a clear report: what to automate, what to leave alone, and what to fix first.

Recommendations are technology-agnostic. We might recommend a platform, Microsoft Copilot, a process redesign, or nothing at all.

Applied AI Workshop

A half-day session for leadership teams who need to separate the signal from the noise. What AI agents can and cannot do, where the real value sits, and how to evaluate vendors without getting sold to.

Built for non-technical leaders who make technology investment decisions.

The adoption pathway

Each stage stands on its own. Start wherever makes sense for you.

Stage 1: AI Landscape Brief

£395
No meeting required. Delivered in 5 working days.
What you get

8 to 12 page written brief on your sector's AI reality. What competitors are likely doing, which tools are used by businesses your size, preliminary view on highest-leverage opportunities, one-page board summary.

Key outcome

You enter any AI conversation informed rather than naive.

ROI

One avoided bad vendor decision pays for this more than ten times over.

Stage 2: AI Readiness Assessment

From £1,500
On-site engagement.
What you get

Scored readiness profile across five dimensions. Three to five prioritised operational opportunities. Technology-agnostic recommendation: platform, Copilot, process change, or not yet. Written report formatted for board or investor. Clear next step with rationale.

Key outcome

You know exactly where you stand and have a written roadmap you can act on immediately.

ROI

Organisations that skip assessment report average wasted spend of £30,000 to £80,000 on platforms that do not fit. A £1,500 to £2,500 assessment eliminates that risk.

Stage 3: Applied AI Workshop

From £2,000
Half-day session, up to 12 people.
What you get

Practical working knowledge of what LLMs can and cannot do. How to read a vendor proposal critically. Questions vendors do not want to answer. Workshop summary document. 30-minute follow-up call within two weeks.

Key outcome

Your leadership team evaluates AI claims and makes procurement decisions independently.

ROI

One prevented bad procurement decision typically saves £40,000 to £120,000 in implementation and remediation.

Stage 4: AI Strategy and Adoption Plan

Scoped to requirements
Multi-day engagement or monthly retainer. Typically follows an Assessment or Workshop.
What you get

Phased AI Adoption Roadmap tied to budget and priorities. Vendor evaluation across relevant platforms. Change management framework. Governance documentation for board or audit committee. Monthly advisory sessions if on retainer.

Key outcome

You have a plan you trust and a practitioner keeping you honest as it progresses.

ROI

Organisations with structured adoption plans report 40 to 60 percent faster time-to-value. A monthly retainer costs less than half a day of Big Four advisory time.

How it works

01

Conversation

A 30-minute call to understand your operations, your goals, and where you think AI might fit. No pitch, no demo, no commitment.

02

Engagement

We embed in your operations on-site. Observe workflows, review data, interview your team, assess readiness across structured dimensions.

03

Report

A clear, actionable document. What to do, what not to do, and what to do first. Technology-agnostic recommendations you can act on immediately or take to any vendor.

Independent means independent.

Agentic Advisory is run by someone who also builds AI agents. That hands-on experience is what makes the advice credible. But independence is non-negotiable: we recommend the right answer, not the convenient one. Sometimes that means our own platform. Sometimes a competitor. Sometimes waiting. The value is in the honesty.

Start with a conversation.

30 minutes. No pitch. An honest discussion about whether AI readiness work makes sense for your business.

Thank you. We will be in touch within one working day.
