How AI is reshaping consulting delivery — and the operating model the firms that survive will adopt.
The foundational thesis behind Series-X. Why the senior-operator + agent-stack model wins for the underserved middle.
An ex-SVP, VP, GM or CEO — with twenty-plus years of operating experience — spends 90 days inside your business, backed by a configured AI agent stack. One workflow, in production, at the end. Fixed fee. Outcomes agreed up front.
Not because tools are missing. Because the senior person who could point them at the right processes, connect them to real data, and get the team to actually use them isn't in the building.
No CTO, no Head of IT to own a sustained AI programme. The owner ends up doing it in evenings.
£200k+ engagements don't justify themselves at £5–25m revenue. The math doesn't work.
No fractional CIO, no strategist to sanity-check the next decision. You're on your own.
Powerful ones. Someone still has to work out which processes to point them at, connect them to your data, adapt them to your voice, and get the team to actually use them.
Someone who could translate operations into prompts, judge outputs, and hold the change through the messy middle. Most £5–25m businesses don't have that person.
The agent stack is their leverage — not the product. You buy judgement, delivered at speed the incumbents can't match.
No junior consultants. No vague timelines. No surprise invoices.
Not a junior consultant. Not a chatbot. A named operator with 20+ years of relevant experience leads every engagement.
Analysis, content, integration, automation — handled by configurable agents under the operator's direction. Speed and depth a small team alone couldn't match.
No change orders. No expense passes. No surprise extensions. The commercial contract mirrors the delivery contract.
We name the success criteria before any work begins, and close out against them — not against effort.
The client meets one person. Behind them, a configured AI agent stack compresses months into days — workflow, integration, knowledge, content, monitoring. Agents never speak to the client. The operator directs, reviews every output, and applies judgement to everything that matters.
Analysts supervised by a partner you see twice. 9+ months. £200k+.
Senior operator + AI stack. 90 days. Fixed fee. Same seniority every day.
Discovery sessions, we map your workflow, and we draft and sign an engagement charter with measurable success criteria.
We configure and calibrate the agent stack against your real data and voice, integrate CRM / email / ERP, and run it live with human review in weekly working sessions.
We measure against the charter, document outcomes, and hand over a working system with a runbook in your own voice.
Three ways in. Start narrow with a diagnostic, or commit to a full engagement. The Programme wraps sequenced engagements under one charter.
A short, senior-led diagnostic. Where AI actually fits. Credited in full against an Engagement.
The core Series-X install. One senior operator, one workflow, in production. Outcomes agreed before we start.
Sequenced engagements under one charter, with the operator on standby between phases.
Full comparison, FAQ and what's included on the pricing page. Optional intelligence subscription after the engagement, from £2,500 / month.
Each one is a named workflow with a baseline, a target, and a way to measure it on day 90. Drawn from the operations of the businesses we focus on.
Scored across six criteria — willingness to pay, urgency, AI fit, fragmentation, referability and our access. Three anchor verticals lead.
Ex-SVP, VP, GM or CEO. No juniors, no bench-swap mid-project.
Running in your business, against outcomes we signed before we started.
Every output reviewed by the operator. Where AI is involved, you always know.
The foundational thesis behind Series-X. Why the senior-operator + agent-stack model wins for the underserved middle.
Not a chatbot rollout. Not a slide deck. An ex-SVP / VP / GM operator, augmented by AI, installing one workflow that actually runs. Thirty minutes to see if it fits.
