Where most businesses are stuck

Everyone's telling you to use AI. Nobody's telling you where to start. Your MVV does.

You're driving ten times faster than you were a year ago. And yet your team are still sitting in the passenger seat, working the way they did five years ago.

AI is stuck in your head.

Answer

AI can only spread as far as the knowledge it can reach. Right now, that’s you.

The Minimal Viable Vision (MVV)

Dream it.Build it.Test it.Launch it.

Four weeks, one step each week. It takes about 12 hours of your team's time, plus five of your users you introduce us to.

WEEK 1

Dream it.

Burning-hair problems, a risk map, four wow moments and their benchmarks. Then proofs of concept, presented back.

You get:Your vision pack and four proofs of concept
WEEK 2

Build it.

Working prototypes built to beat the benchmark, then put in front of five of your users.

You get:A working prototype
WEEK 3

Test it.

We build in what your users told us, re-test it and present the findings back.

You get:Your user research findings
WEEK 4

Launch it.

Security audit, technical documentation and everything made ready for launch.

You get:A launch-ready MVV

Proof

The result is the only truth.

Half the time on every carbon analysis. None of the expertise lost.

  • Roughly half the time on each spend analysis
  • 89% first-pass accuracy against Rawstone’s expert analysts
  • Easier to bring in extra consultants, so big projects get resourced faster

"Time saving, but reaffirming why we can actually sell what we do and why our customers aren't able to just AI it themselves."

Carers practise the hardest conversations before they happen.

  • AI role-play for difficult moments, on demand
  • The whole team can rehearse a response within 24 hours
  • Idea tested with real users before the full build

"It feels like a very safe way to explore an idea."

Working with us, long term

Prove it. Transform it. Go again.

After your MVV, our team stays with you on a six-month rolling roadmap. Every two weeks we build, help your people adopt it, measure what changed and learn from it. Monthly reviews keep the work on what matters most. Then you go again with your next MVV.
