Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Greater Manchester business owners

We run the discovery, design, build, and training cycle that most SMEs do not have time to run themselves. The work starts with a GBP 1,000 fixed-price Discovery Audit that measures where your team's time is going and ranks AI opportunities by payback. From there, most clients commission a Proof of Concept on the single highest-return process. Training-only engagements are also available from GBP 200 for one-to-one sessions and GBP 500 for team workshops.

Most engagements sit between GBP 1,000 and GBP 25,000. The Discovery Audit is GBP 1,000 fixed. A Proof of Concept that puts one process into live use is GBP 5,000 for workflow automation, from GBP 3,500 for chatbots and voice AI, and from GBP 2,500 for marketing automation. Complex multi-system builds are GBP 6,000 to GBP 25,000, quoted after Discovery. Ongoing retainers start from GBP 400 a month. All prices exclude VAT.

Most Greater Manchester SMEs reach payback on a single workflow automation within 60 to 90 days of going live. Training typically pays back within 30 to 60 days because the time saved compounds across the whole team. Complex multi-system builds take three to six months to full ROI. The Discovery Audit gives you a written estimate specific to your processes before you commit to a build.

Yes. The most common Greater Manchester SME stacks are Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, plus Xero or QuickBooks for accounts, plus HubSpot or Salesforce for CRM. We orchestrate using established tools (Make, n8n, or Zapier) and use the major model providers (Anthropic and OpenAI) for AI judgement. We only recommend tool changes when the existing stack genuinely cannot support the workflow.

UK or EU data residency is the default, using the appropriate region of the chosen cloud provider. Confidential client data is never used to train third-party models. Where personal data is involved we provide a Data Processing Agreement and run a Data Protection Impact Assessment when the use case triggers one. Every solution that touches client data has audit logging and explicit pause-and-rollback controls.

Yes. We work with non-technical business owners and operations leaders, and our engagements are designed so you do not need an engineering team to commission, run, or maintain the result. You need a process that is costing you time or money, and a willingness to measure the result. Everything else is our job.
