Why this exists

You do not have an AI problem. You have a decision problem.

Consultants hand you a deck and leave. We embed, own the decisions, and ship.

We sit in your leadership team, own the AI decisions, and ship working systems — so AI actually happens, responsibly.

What we own

Four jobs, done properly.

What to build next

We rank the ideas, kill the distractions, and pick the one or two builds each quarter that are actually worth your money.

Governance & risk

Policies, vendor reviews, and the regulators that matter to you (GDPR, ISO, SRA, FCA, ICO), handled so you can sign things off with confidence.

Board clarity

A one-page monthly briefing in plain English. Five-minute read. What we did, what it changed, what is next.

Real delivery

A weekly review of your business intelligence layer, and one working AI system shipped every quarter. Decks optional; working systems shipped.

What's included

Everything in the retainer.

One senior owner, one monthly rhythm. No hand-offs, no juniors, no surprises.

  • Four senior days a month — across calls, async work and leadership sessions.
  • Weekly Pulse review — we read your business intelligence layer with you, every week.
  • One agent shipped each quarter — a real, working AI system for a workflow that matters.
  • Monthly board briefing — one page, plain language, ready to forward.
  • Escalation channel — a direct line to Nerdster engineering when you need it.
  • Vendor & contract reviews — we read the AI pitches and the small print before you sign.
  • AI policy maintenance — kept current as the rules and the models change.
  • Knowledge transfer — your team gets more capable every quarter, not more dependent.

The first 90 days

We start by listening. Then we ship.

Week 1

We shadow how your leadership team actually makes decisions, before changing anything.

Weeks 2–4

We build a 30-day roadmap and define exactly what governance you need.

Month 2 onward

We run the monthly cadence, keep governance current, and ship the work.

Who it's for

Sound familiar?

  • Leadership knows AI matters, but no one owns it.
  • Your team is already using AI tools, and the governance is unclear.
  • Vendors are pitching you AI that needs grown-up evaluation.
  • You want shipped systems, not another strategy deck.
  • You are not ready for a full-time AI executive hire.

Our sweet spot: UK-based firms of every size that need senior AI ownership without a full-time hire — professional services and regulated sectors included.
