Owner-managed businesses between £5m and £25m revenue. Real operational complexity. Too large for off-the-shelf tools to do the work. Too small to make the Big Four maths add up.
Founder-MD. Often plateau, often with succession on the horizon. Built the business, knows every corner of it.
Wants to modernise without losing what made it work. Wants the operation to keep running if they step back.
Series-X installs the workflow they would have built themselves, if they'd had ten years of AI fluency they don't have.
