We deliver governance, delivery and reporting systems built on high-assurance defence and commercial program practice — now built for organisations that need the discipline without the consultancy overheads.
And we build systems: applications and programs made to help you save time, save money and build your own business.
Every one of these is work that has been done for real, at scale, where being wrong had consequences. No frameworks invented for a brochure.
Stage gates, decision rights, risk and issue discipline, and an assurance framework that survives a real audit rather than describing one.
What, how and whyA written framework for how decisions get made and who makes them: stage gates with entry and exit criteria, a delegation schedule, a risk and issue process that is actually used, and an assurance plan that says who checks what, when, and against which standard.
We start from your existing documents rather than a blank template, map what already happens, and write down the version that works. Then we run the first gate with you so the process has been used once before you are left with it.
Most governance fails not because it is absent but because it lives in someone's head. When that person is on leave or the auditor arrives, nothing can be evidenced. Written-down decision rights are what turn activity into a defensible record.
Talk to us about this →PMBOK, PRINCE2 and agile delivery, from mobilisation through to closure and benefits.
What, how and whyRunning the delivery: mobilisation, planning, the schedule and budget baseline, controlling change, reporting progress, and closing out properly with benefits recorded rather than assumed.
We use whichever method suits the work. Formal stage-gated delivery where there is a contract and an auditor. Agile where the scope will be discovered as you go. Often both on the same program, with the boundary written down so nobody argues about it later.
A method is a tool, not an identity. Imposing PRINCE2 on a six-week build wastes money; running a multi-year regulated program on sticky notes loses it. Choosing badly costs more than either method saves.
Talk to us about this →Critical-path schedules, resource and cost forecasts, and monthly reporting that shows the truth early enough to act on.
What, how and whyA resource-loaded, logic-linked schedule with a real critical path; forecasts for people and money; and a monthly report that shows where the plan has moved and what it means.
Built in Microsoft Project or in Excel, depending on what you already run and who has to maintain it. Every rating rule is written down, so the report says the same thing regardless of who produced it that month.
A schedule that only the scheduler understands is a liability. The point is not the Gantt chart; it is knowing, in the third month rather than the ninth, that the date will not hold.
Talk to us about this →A QMS a small organisation can run: documented, proportionate and maintained.
What, how and whyThe document set, process maps, registers and review cycle that make up a working quality system, sized to the organisation that has to keep it alive.
Proportionate by design. We write the smallest system that meets the requirement, in language your team uses, and we set the review cadence so it stays current instead of ageing into fiction.
Oversized quality systems are abandoned within a year and then actively mislead — the manual says one thing and the business does another. A smaller system that is genuinely followed is worth more than a comprehensive one that is not.
Talk to us about this →Excel and web dashboards built on real data, with the rating rules written down so nobody argues about what amber means.
What, how and whyReporting that pulls from your actual data — schedule exports, cost ledgers, registers — and presents status, trend and exception in one view for a board or a client.
Built in Excel where the team already lives there, or as a web page where it needs to be shared. Every rating threshold is documented on the page itself, and the workbook is handed over unlocked with the formulas visible.
Most status reporting is opinion with colour applied. When the rules are written down, the report stops being a negotiation and the conversation moves to what to do about it.
Talk to us about this →Fast, accessible, hand-built sites. No page builder, no monthly platform fee, and you own every file at the end.
What, how and whyMarketing sites, landing pages, calculators, checkouts and small web applications — designed, built, deployed and handed over.
Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, hosted on free or near-free infrastructure. No proprietary builder, so nothing holds your site hostage. Your only ongoing cost is usually the domain.
Platform sites carry a monthly fee for the rest of the site's life and cannot be moved without a rebuild. Owning the files means you can change supplier, or maintain it yourself, without starting again.
Talk to us about this →Scope and requirements into a contract that holds: tender and evaluation support, contract administration, variations and claims, and supplier performance managed against what was actually agreed.
What, how and whyTurning what you need into documents that can be priced, awarded and enforced — statements of work, evaluation criteria, contract administration, variations, claims and supplier performance management.
We write requirements that can be tested rather than argued about, set evaluation criteria before proposals arrive, and keep a contemporaneous record so a variation or claim is supported by what was written at the time.
Most commercial disputes are scope disputes wearing a different hat. They are decided by what the document said and what was recorded while the work was happening, not by who remembers the meeting differently.
Talk to us about this →Budgets built from the schedule, not guessed: cost breakdown structures, forecasts and cash phasing, earned value where it earns its keep, and monthly variance reporting that explains the movement.
What, how and whyA cost breakdown structure tied to the schedule, forecasts and cash phasing, monthly variance analysis, and earned value measurement where the work justifies it.
The budget is built from the resourced schedule, so cost and time move together. Variance reporting explains the movement rather than restating the number, and earned value is applied only where the reporting effort is repaid.
A budget produced separately from the schedule will always be wrong, because the two describe the same work. And full earned value on a small commercial job costs more to run than it saves — knowing when not to use it matters as much as knowing how.
Talk to us about this →Practical AI use for small organisations — where it genuinely helps, where it does not, and the review that has to stay human.
What, how and whyHelp choosing and setting up the tools a small organisation actually needs, including where AI does real work and where it is an expensive way to produce plausible nonsense.
We start from the task, not the tool. Where AI helps, we set it up with the checking step built in. Where it does not, we say so — and we will tell you when the honest answer is that you do not need to buy anything.
AI is being sold hard to small businesses right now, often by people who will not be there when it is wrong. The value is in knowing which tasks tolerate a machine draft and which need a person to sign their name to it.
Talk to us about this →A short written check of the page you already have. We look at what a visitor sees first and whether it says what you do; whether there is a clear next step and whether it works; how it loads and reads on a phone; whether the pages a buyer needs are there — contact, terms, privacy, refunds; and whether search engines can find you at all. You get the findings in plain English, ordered by what to fix first. No sales call, no report template, no charge.
We read the offers so you don't have to buy them, then write down the correct version — the real steps, the real costs, the real odds — and give it away. No sign-up to read. Nobody named. Every figure an estimate you can check. Nothing sold inside.
Small first, always. The first piece of work is deliberately bounded so you can judge the standard before committing to anything larger.
A conversation, then a written scope with deliverables, exclusions, inputs needed from you, and a date.
The work, with a short status at an agreed interval. No silence, no surprises at the end.
You review against the definition of done. One agreed revision round is included.
Source files, a short how-it-works note, and whatever your team needs to keep running it.
Published in full, including what is not finished. A register that only lists successes is not a register — and nothing is marked live until it genuinely is.

Every project on that register was scoped, built, deployed and maintained by the same person who would do yours — the site, the application, the dashboard, the checkout and the documents behind it. If something on this list looks like the thing your business needs, that is the fastest way to describe it: point at it and say you want one.
A short description of the problem is enough to start. You will get an honest answer about whether this is the right place for it — including when it is not.
