Everything we build, in one place
Real AI, doing real work

Legacy systems, rebuilt without the risk

You do not have to know what to call it
Five things we hear most, written the way people actually describe them. Find the one that sounds like your week and it will tell you which service answers it — including the times the answer is two.
-
Leads come in and go cold
The enquiry arrives at 11pm or while the phone is busy, and by the time somebody replies the buyer has booked with whoever answered first.
We answer on arrival, qualify on your rules, and hand a warm one to a person.
-
People spend the day moving data by hand
The same fact is typed into three systems by three people, the reports disagree, and nobody catches the error until a customer does.
We build the pipeline once and route the exceptions to a person. Nothing is silently dropped.
Where it goes Automation -
An old system is holding everything up
It still works, nobody wants to touch it, and every new feature costs three times what it should because of what is underneath.
We rebuild it in shippable pieces. No big-bang rewrite, and the business never stops.
Where it goes Legacy Rebuild -
There is an AI idea, and no plan behind it
Fifteen suggestions on a list, each with a champion, none with a number against it. So nothing gets funded and another quarter passes.
We cost the list in your own numbers, rank it by payback, and name the ones we would tell you to skip.
-
What you need does not exist off the shelf
You have bent three products into a shape that nearly fits, and the gap between them is being held together by a spreadsheet and a person.
We build the thing itself — shaped to your workflow, handed over with the code and the accounts.
Where it goes Custom Software Development
The AI Pulse Sprint
Two weeks, one fixed fee, and at the end of it you own a costed plan and something that runs. If you decide not to build, you keep both — and we would rather you found that out in two weeks than in two quarters.
- Two weeks, start to finish A fixed window with a date on it, not an open-ended discovery phase that bills by the month.
- A working prototype, not a deck Something you can put in front of your own people, running on your own data, before you commit to a build.
- A costed plan you keep Every idea modelled in your numbers and ranked by payback — including the ones we would tell you not to build.
- Credited if you go ahead The fee comes off the first invoice of the build. If you walk away, the plan and the prototype are still yours.
You have three kinds of quote in front of you
Nobody is named here, because these are patterns rather than companies — and you will recognise both of them. These are the five things worth resolving before you sign anything, and where we stand on each.
| What you are comparing | The AI shop selling a future Impressive demo, vague delivery | The cheapest bid you got Hours sold by the hour | Growth Nerve Built, shipped, handed over |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | The AI shop selling a future A pilot that impresses the room and never meets a customer. | The cheapest bid you got Tickets closed against a spec, and whatever the spec forgot. | Growth Nerve Software running on real work, with a runbook and a named owner. |
| How it is priced | The AI shop selling a future A discovery retainer, then a number that arrives after you are committed. | The cheapest bid you got A low hourly rate, and a total nobody can predict. | Growth Nerve Fixed price on a scope we agree first. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice. |
| After it launches | The AI shop selling a future It lives on their platform, and leaving means rebuilding it. | The cheapest bid you got The team rotates off and the code is nobody's to explain. | Growth Nerve Code, accounts, keys and docs handed to you. Optional monthly care, no lock-in. |
| What the AI actually is | The AI shop selling a future The headline. Everything is AI, including the parts that are a database query. | The cheapest bid you got A wrapper added late because the brief asked for one. | Growth Nerve Used where it earns its place, and left out where a rule is cheaper and more reliable. |
| Whether anyone says no | The AI shop selling a future Every idea is a good idea, because every idea is billable. | The cheapest bid you got Nobody pushes back — you wrote the spec, they build the spec. | Growth Nerve We name the cases it will not handle before you sign, and turn down work we cannot make great. |
The right-hand column is a list of commitments, not results — how we price, who does the work, and what you are handed at the end. Ask us to put any of it in the contract and we will.
