01 / Business & Reputation Intelligence

Powered by Omniscan

Know what’s being said — and what it means.

Omniscan is our hybrid human + AI intelligence platform. It analyses millions of datapoints across news, social media, podcasts, broadcast and niche channels — in most languages — and turns them into structured, decision-ready insight in days, not weeks.

01.1

Media & reputation monitoring

Share of voice, sentiment, emerging narratives, and every published quote — captured and categorised across the channels that matter.

01.2

Stakeholder mapping

Map the regulators, campaigners, analysts, and commentators reaching your audiences — categorised, with positions tracked over time.

01.3

Always-on intel

An evergreen deposit of insight — automatically up to date, stored, and searchable by anyone on your team.

The human layer

Technology is half of it. A team of experienced senior consultants sits on top of Omniscan, turning its output into judgement: what it means, what to watch, and what to do about it.

02 / Forecasting

Powered by Omniforecaster

Know the odds before you decide.

Omniforecaster helps you see around corners. Ask a strategic question in plain English — the platform breaks it into the factors that decide the outcome, researches each one with an ensemble of AI superforecasters, and returns a board-ready report: the odds, the drivers, the risks, and what to do about them.

02.1

Strategic forecasts

Market entry, M&A, regulation, competitive moves — calibrated probabilities, every one traceable to its evidence. No black boxes.

02.2

Horizon scanning

Systematic scans that surface the risks and opportunities you haven’t considered yet.

02.3

Risk assessment

Multi-geography risk reports with a clear matrix of likelihood and impact.

The human layer

Weeks of analyst work delivered in hours — then interpreted with you by consultants who understand what the numbers mean for your board, your investors, and your next move.

03 / AI Consulting & Transformation

Strategy, pilots & bespoke builds

Your team, with AI superpowers.

We embed in your team to find where AI makes the biggest difference — then build it. Strategy and transformation advice, rapid innovation pilots, and bespoke production systems tested with real users and real data.

03.1

AI strategy & transformation

A clear-eyed view of where AI creates value in your organisation — and a practical plan to capture it.

03.2

Innovation pilots

Rapid prototypes that put new AI-powered products and services in front of real users in weeks.

03.3

Automation & bespoke builds

Manual processes replaced with reliable automations; AI agents and tools designed for your stack, your data, and your constraints.

The human layer

We’re more than a typical consultancy: the people who advise you are the people who build. Proven pilots become production systems — we hand over, or stay on to run them.
