AI for the Rest of Us · UK SMEs

You know AI should be helping your business. You just can't see where.

We show you exactly where — a free, plain-English read of your firm — then fix one workflow with you and measure it, before you commit to anything bigger.

Same client details re-keyed across separate tools

Illustrative example. Your report is built from your own firm's public signals — evidence-labelled, in minutes.

// Sound familiar?

The problem isn't you — it's the drag.

You bought the AI tools everyone said you needed — and you’re still not sure what half of them are actually for.

Your team spends more time re-keying the same details across systems than doing the work you’re actually paid for.

Every AI guide is generic. Nobody’s shown you where it actually pays off for a firm like yours.

That's exactly what the free report answers — in plain English, before you spend anything.

// Illustrative output shape

Not a generic AI score. A grounded friction report.

This fictional example shows the shape of the expanded diagnostic: evidence first, claim type shown, then a practical next step. The free v3 scan is lighter; paid diagnostics add internal workflow evidence and decide which workflow is worth fixing first.

Biggest visible friction

The firm appears credible, but the website asks prospects to enquire before proving process clarity, response expectations or specialist fit.

Evidence base

E1Companies HouseObserved fact

The legal identity is matched before any classification or peer comparison is shown.

E2Website journeyInterpretation

The enquiry path appears before process, proof and response-time expectations are explained.

E3Peer contextBenchmark

Peer pages can be checked for clearer proof, positioning and response expectations before any recommendation is made.

Top actions

  • Rebuild the enquiry path around proof, expected response time and qualification routing.
  • Turn visible evidence into specific proof blocks before asking prospects to enquire.
  • Use the expanded diagnostic to decide whether the first pilot should be lead response, evidence documents or customer support.

30-day fix pilot

Confirm the real bottleneck with internal evidence, then pilot one controlled improvement: lead response, evidence documents, customer support, competitor monitoring or another proven lane.

Diagnostic becomes a pilot
// How it works

A low-risk path, not a leap.

Proof of capability

We build what we recommend.

The intelligence scan is built on the same research engine we use for GuardianStack, our evidence-led compliance product for UK SMEs. We do not recommend workflow change from the sidelines. We build, test and ship production systems.

Evidence
Source-backed outputs

Claims, citations and confidence stay visible to the user

Control
Human review gates

Sensitive recommendations are reviewed before they become action

Scope
One workflow at a time

Diagnosis leads to a bounded pilot, not a vague transformation project

When we recommend AI implementation strategies, we speak from direct experience building production systems — not slide decks.

// GuardianStack

A live example of the method.

GuardianStack turns regulatory sources into structured assessments, documents and monitoring workflows. It is here as proof that MikaHari can move from diagnosis to shipped software.

  • Source-linked assessment outputs
  • Document generation with review points
  • Production build using React, TypeScript and Supabase
