A Working Platform in 10 Weeks. Not a Slide Deck.
Our Platform Accelerators deliver production-grade solutions on your real data, solving real business problems, with measurable outcomes — in a fixed, predictable 10-week engagement. No open-ended timelines. No sandbox demos. No 200-page strategy documents that gather dust.
The Transformation Trap
You've seen it before. A major consultancy arrives with a team of twelve, spends six months in “discovery”, produces a strategy deck the size of a novel, and then leaves. Your team is expected to execute a plan they had no hand in creating, using tools they weren't trained on, against a timeline that was optimistic before the ink dried.
Or perhaps you went the proof-of-concept route. A vendor built something impressive in a sandbox — their data, their environment, their best-case scenario. It looked brilliant in the demo. It never touched your systems. It never met a real user. It's still sitting in that sandbox.
The common thread? Months of investment before anyone can point to a working outcome. Budget consumed before value is proven. Change fatigue setting in before anything ships. And the uncomfortable truth most people won't say out loud: the longer a transformation programme runs without delivering something tangible, the less likely it is to deliver anything at all.
There's a better way. And it starts with a fundamentally different question: what if you could prove value before you committed to scale?
What a Platform Accelerator Actually Is
A Platform Accelerator is a 10-week engagement that delivers a working, production-grade platform. Not a prototype. Not a proof of concept. A real platform, connected to your real data, solving a real business problem, with real users and measurable outcomes.
The 10-week timeframe isn't a constraint — it's the whole point. You know exactly what you're committing to. Budget is predictable and contained. There's no scope creep, no “phase 2 before phase 1 is finished”, and no open-ended retainer quietly draining your transformation fund.
Jeff Bezos put it well: “Experiments should be cheap. When they succeed, that's when they become expensive.” That's the philosophy here. A Platform Accelerator is a structured, time-bound experiment. If the approach works — and you'll know because you'll have the metrics to prove it — then you scale. If it doesn't fit, you've invested 10 weeks, not 18 months.
Small bets. Fast learning. Then scale what works. That's how innovation actually happens.
Senior Experts, Not Graduate Armies
We're a boutique consultancy. Deliberately small. Every person on your engagement has decades of hands-on experience delivering enterprise platforms — the same people who designed the solution are the people writing the code and sitting in your standups.
At the big consultancies, the partner who sold the engagement disappears after the kickoff. The team that actually does the work is often made up of graduates and junior consultants learning on your budget. You're lucky to get 20% of a senior person's time. The rest is billed at partner rates but delivered at analyst level.
With us, you get 100% senior expertise, 100% of the time. We work with one client at a time because that's what it takes to deliver something real in 10 weeks. No split attention. No B-team. No “let me check with the partner and get back to you.”
You're working with the people who've built platforms at Amazon, IBM, and Walmart — not people who've read about them.
How It Works
Three phases. Ten weeks. One working platform.
Discovery & Architecture
We invest in understanding your business before we write a line of code. We research your domain, interview stakeholders, map your data landscape, and design an architecture that fits your systems — not a template we’ve used elsewhere. Your team is involved from day one because the people who’ll run this platform need to shape it.
- Stakeholder interviews & domain research
- Data landscape mapping
- Architecture design on your systems
- Success metrics defined upfront
Build & Iterate
This is where the platform takes shape. We build with your team, not for your team — pairing sessions, code reviews, and hands-on workshops are built into the sprint rhythm. Every two weeks you see working software. Every two weeks you give feedback that changes the next sprint. No big reveal at week 10. Continuous delivery, continuous learning.
- Fortnightly working demos
- Paired development & code reviews
- Real data integrations
- Hands-on team workshops
Launch & Transfer
The platform goes live with real users. But launch is only half of this phase. The other half is making sure your team can run, extend, and evolve the platform without us. Full documentation, knowledge transfer sessions, and access to our ongoing community of tools and tutorials.
- Production deployment with real users
- Knowledge transfer & documentation
- Scaling roadmap for next steps
- Community access & ongoing support
Accelerators We've Built
These are four of the accelerators we've developed — but the model works for any business problem where AI can deliver measurable value. If your challenge isn't listed here, let's talk. We'll scope one for you.
Every organisation's most valuable asset is what it already knows — and most of that knowledge is trapped in documents, emails, and people's heads. This accelerator builds an intelligent knowledge platform that makes your institutional expertise searchable, actionable, and continuously learning.
Learn moreThe shift from monolithic to composable commerce is inevitable, but most enterprises are paralysed because the migration feels too risky. This accelerator de-risks the move — delivering a working composable platform on your catalogue and customer data in 10 weeks, so you can see the future before you commit to it.
Learn moreHealthcare is under unprecedented pressure to digitise. Patient expectations are rising, clinician burnout is worsening, and shadow AI is already in your wards. This accelerator builds an intelligence platform that improves patient experience, reduces administrative burden, and gives you governance over AI before it governs itself.
Learn moreFinancial services has the most to gain from AI and the most to lose from getting governance wrong. With FCA scrutiny, the EU AI Act, and increasing regulatory pressure, you need a data orchestration platform that delivers intelligence and maintains compliance. This accelerator builds both — together.
Learn moreWhat You Walk Away With
After 10 weeks, you don't have a report. You have a platform — and everything you need to scale it.
Working Platform
A production-grade platform deployed on your infrastructure, connected to your data, and serving real users.
Measurable Outcomes
Defined success metrics tracked from week one. You’ll have the data to justify further investment — or to course-correct.
Scaling Roadmap
A clear, prioritised plan for extending the platform to additional teams, departments, and use cases.
Upskilled Team
Your people work alongside ours throughout the engagement. Knowledge transfer isn’t an afterthought — it’s built into every sprint.
Community Access
Post-engagement, you join our community of accelerator clients with access to free tools, tutorials, and peer connections.
Replicable Model
The 10-week sprint becomes a repeatable innovation framework. Run it again for the next business problem, with confidence.
Not Sure Which Accelerator Fits?
Every business challenge is different. Let's talk about yours. A 30-minute discovery call is all it takes to work out which accelerator — or which combination — will deliver the most value for your organisation.
No pitch deck. No hard sell. Just an honest conversation about what's possible in 10 weeks.
