Three ways to bring AI into your firm.
Most financial firms do not fail at AI because the models are not good enough. They fail because they cannot decide what to build first, or who to trust to ship it. We collapse that decision into three focused engagements.
AI Diagnostic
A two-week, board-ready AI architecture and delivery plan for your firm.
We work with your leadership, map your stack, commercial priorities and regulatory perimeter, then produce a production-grade AI architecture. You receive the highest-leverage systems ranked by impact, with sequenced build plans and cost envelopes. Yours to execute with anyone.
- →AI opportunity map, ranked by revenue impact
- →Architecture blueprint for the top 3 systems
- →Model, data and vendor recommendations
- →Compliance & governance guardrails
- →Sequenced 90-day build plan with costs
- →Board-ready architecture and delivery document
AI Build
We ship the AI system your Blueprint identified — end to end, in production.
Architecture, engineering, evaluation and deployment. Our team designs, builds and deploys a bespoke AI system into your environment — agents, retrieval, orchestration, integrations and observability. You get production code, evaluation harnesses and an operational system.
- →Full-stack AI system in your tenancy
- →Bespoke agents / RAG / orchestration
- →Evals, observability & guardrails
- →Documentation, training & handover
- →Code and IP owned by you, not us
AI Operator
We become your embedded AI team — running, evolving and expanding your AI stack.
Once your AI systems are live, they need to be operated: models retrained, evals rerun, prompts tuned, agents extended, new systems built alongside the existing ones. We stay embedded as your fractional AI team — cheaper, faster and deeper than staffing it in-house.
- →Ongoing operation of live AI systems
- →Direct access to senior AI architects
- →Model & agent evolution
- →Continuous evaluation & safety review
- →New AI systems built alongside the old
- →Quarterly AI roadmap
Signal. System. Shipped.
Every KJ engagement — from the £15k Diagnostic to the AI Operator retainer — runs through the same three-part method. It's what stops financial-services AI programmes from stalling at slide 40 of a deck.
Signal
We identify where AI actually creates measurable P&L movement inside your firm — not where the vendor demo happens to be shiny. Sector-specific, ranked by revenue impact.
System
We architect the specific AI system that turns that signal into shipped software. Model choice, data flow, evals, compliance envelope, integration surface — bespoke to your stack.
Shipped
We build and deploy it into your tenancy, in production, measured on the number it was supposed to move. Then we run it and evolve it alongside your team.
Not sure which tier is you?
If you know AI matters and need a ranked, funded, compliance-safe plan for what to build first, start with the £15k AI Diagnostic. Two weeks. Fixed price. Yours to execute with anyone.
If your plan is complete and you are ready to ship, go straight to AI Build. If you already have live AI systems and need them run, evolved and expanded — AI Operator.

Frequently asked questions
- What is included in the AI Diagnostic?
- The AI Diagnostic is a £15,000, two-week engagement that maps the highest-value systems for your firm and produces a board-ready architecture, compliance envelope, delivery roadmap and cost plan.
- Do you build the systems you architect, or hand it to another vendor?
- We build. A Diagnostic can roll straight into an AI Build engagement (from £75,000, 6–12 weeks) with the same team. Firms can also take the plan to an internal team or preferred integrator.
- What does the AI Operator engagement actually cover month-to-month?
- From £8,000/month. We operate, evolve and expand your AI systems as an embedded team — roadmap ownership, model updates, incident response, cost and safety monitoring.
- Which financial firms do you work with?
- Retail and institutional trading brokerages, prop trading firms, hedge funds, wealth managers, fintechs and neobanks, insurance brokers and mortgage brokers. Every engagement is scoped around the firm's compliance envelope, data topology and revenue economics.
- How compliance-safe are the systems you build?
- Compliance is the first architectural layer, not a review at the end. Every engagement starts with a written compliance envelope (data residency, PII handling, audit trail, model governance, human-in-the-loop points). We build inside that envelope — not around it.
