Evidence-led business transformation
Know what to fix. What to fund. And what to do first.
We listen across your organisation, uncover the problems worth solving and turn them into one prioritised roadmap your leadership team can act on.
For mid-market and enterprise leaders facing competing digital investment priorities.

A ranking that gets reviewed, not filed.
The process produces a live ranking with the scoring record attached, so it can be re-opened, challenged and changed rather than archived.
“You don’t just keep going on, assuming you are right or relevant. You keep reviewing and changing.”
Ed Hays
UK Director, Siemens Digital Industries Software
Merck Life Sciences
One list, scored by both sides.
Both functions score the same opportunities on the same scales, so the ranking is settled by evidence rather than by whoever argued hardest.
“It found over 150 precise friction points and fixes, backed by evidence rather than opinion.”
Mauricio Camargo
Head of Operations UK & Cluster, Merck Life Sciences
Park Cakes
Value and complexity scored before you commit.
Park Cakes’ own teams scored the opportunities by business value and delivery complexity, then aligned manufacturing and technical leadership around one roadmap.
“We achieved a clear, actionable roadmap.”
Jon Sweeting
Group Manufacturing Director, Park Cakes
UK automotive manufacturer
Hundreds of ideas, one ordered roadmap.
The diagnostic gathers every idea in the business, then the scoring reduces it to an order your leadership team can defend.
“They turned hundreds of disconnected ideas into one prioritised roadmap the whole business believed in.”

What you actually get
Three outputs your leadership team can use to make the decision.
01 · AI Compass™
A clear picture of the problems
- Friction and workarounds, in your people’s words
- Scores and explanations by function, role and level
- Cross-functional patterns no single team can see
- Evidence-backed focus points
Leadership learns where the real problems are, before choosing any technology.
02 · Slid3rs™
A defensible ranked roadmap
- Each opportunity scored by business value
- And by delivery complexity
- Scored by your own people, with the record attached
- A recommended sequence
Leadership can see what to fund first, and show why.
03 · FlowRoom™
An agreed decision and next steps
- Agreed priorities
- Named owners and next actions
- A Tactical Target Card™ per priority
- One decision record
Leadership and delivery teams leave with a shared view of what happens next.
The common challenge we face
The challenge
People across departments could see different opportunities to improve the operation. There was no single, evidence-based view of which were most valuable to pursue.
The engagement
AI Compass™ listened from the shop floor to senior leadership. Our clients’ own people scored the results in Slid3rs™, then worked through them together in an on-site FlowRoom™.
What was uncovered
More than 150 areas of friction and opportunity, consolidated into clear focus points for change.
What changed
The ranking separated tactical opportunities from larger strategic priorities. Leadership agreed one prioritised roadmap built on evidence rather than opinion.
What you can take from it
A complex, multi-function operation can reach one defensible order of priorities without a long consulting programme.
“It gave us, for the first time, a single evidence-based, prioritised view of where digital investment would work hardest for us.”
Mauricio Camargo
Head of Operations UK & Cluster, Merck Life Sciences

Diagnose. Prioritise. Align.
AI widens what leadership can hear. Your people stay responsible for deciding what matters. 100% of the scoring is done by your own people.
Stage 1
AI Compass™
Listens across functions, roles and levels, turning scores and explanations from the people closest to the work into evidence-backed focus points.
Stage 2
Slid3rs™
Your people rank those focus points by business value and delivery complexity. The strongest become one-page Tactical Target Cards™.
Stage 3
FlowRoom™
Leadership meets around the evidence to agree the priorities, ownership and roadmap, and leaves with one decision record.

Service partner story
Explore an account opportunityWhere it fits
The work spans functions or sites, and no single function can settle the order on its own. Our early clients are in manufacturing and multi-site operations; the method is sector-neutral.
Where it doesn’t
A single team with one obvious answer, or a decision leadership has already made and funded. In both cases the diagnostic tells you what you already know. Read who we work with.
Cost and value
What one client paid, against a consulting benchmark.
This is one client’s example, not a fee scale. The benchmark assumes a five-person team for 13 weeks at stated day rates. Actual fees vary by scope, so we publish “up to 95% lower” rather than the 97% this example shows.
The scoping call
Find out whether a diagnostic is right for your organisation.
A 20-minute conversation to understand the decision you’re facing, whether we can help, and what a sensible next step might look like.
