for UK consultancies
AI workflow assessment for UK consultancies - find the admin draining your billable hours.
For 60 minutes the client is you, and the questions are all about where the unbillable hours sit - proposals, diary tetris, status updates, the prep before every billable call. The report comes back ranked by payback, with the setup for each recommendation written out rather than left as a tool name to go and research.
The work between the work that never gets billed.
You bill for your time, some engagements at a premium. Then a stretch of every week disappears to the work in between: a proposal that eats into the week and might not close, diary tetris to line up three stakeholders for one call, the weekly status update, and the prep before every billable hour with the client.
None of it appears on an invoice, so none of it is visible - but it is the reason the pipeline stalls, the reason you turn down work you could have delivered, and the reason the evenings go. By the time it shows up, it shows up as a month with less delivery in it than you planned and nothing obvious to blame.
Closing that gap takes an hour on your own firm and a plan ranked by payback rather than by novelty. Most consultancies have already sat through the AI webinar. What they have not had is somebody naming the jobs inside their own delivery where it holds up, and the ones where it does not.

The assessment is £799 - less than half a day at most consulting rates.
Your six biggest time sinks - and what we do about each one.
We map your whole consultancy in the 60-minute session, then work backwards to the drains worth fixing first. Here is how that lands on the specific admin consultants feel.
Proposal and SoW writing
Every opportunity needs a tailored proposal - scope, deliverables, timeline, price - and plenty of them never turn into an engagement. We take a recent proposal apart with you and work out how much of it was rebuilt from scratch rather than reused. That gap is what a draft can close, without flattening the tailoring that wins the work.
Meeting scheduling and rescheduling
Lining up client diaries, internal teams and subject-matter experts, one email at a time, until a single call is finally in the book. We trace one of those calls from first suggestion to confirmed slot and see how many emails it took, then mark which of them a booking link removes outright.
Project admin and status updates
The weekly project email, the steering deck, the action log, the timesheet. None of it bills, all of it is required. We separate the updates that restate what already happened from the ones that need a judgement call, because only the first kind can be drafted from your notes and a transcript.
Research and prep before client calls
Unbilled reading before every billable hour - the last three emails, the plan, the previous notes, the background. We work out how much of that background already exists in writing in your own files, and how a recap gets assembled from it instead of reassembled in your head on the train.
The senior-consultant inbox
Long client threads, internal escalations, partner queries, business-development follow-up - all landing in the same place, all wanting a considered reply. We group a week of your sent items by what each reply was actually doing, and the report gives you drafting prompts for the groups that keep coming back.
The capacity ceiling
Engagements you cannot take on because the admin already fills the week. Your report puts the fixes in order of delivery hours returned, so the next engagement becomes a scheduling question rather than a hiring one.
What this is - and what it isn’t.
The assessment is a diagnostic and a plan. Within two working days of your call you get a passcode-protected report: the AI and automation opportunities we have found for your consultancy, named tools with costs and setup time, step-by-step recipes, a prompt library, an impact-versus-effort ranking, and ROI worked out on your real numbers. It is written in plain English so you can act on it - no technical background needed.
It is guidance, not us doing the work for you. If the report flags something worth building - a proposal-drafting agent, say - the Custom AI Agent Build is a separate product from £949, scoped case by case. If you would rather implement the report’s quick wins yourself with someone beside you, the Implementation Kickstart (£349, 90 minutes) is there for that. The assessment always comes first.
The kind of result we publish.
Real clients, in their own words - the full story, what we found, and the measurable change in their week.
“Knowing something and doing something are completely different things.”
Questions consultancies ask us.
We do confidential client work. Is it safe to put anything into AI tools?
Will AI-written proposals sound generic and cost us the work?
We already use Notion and ChatGPT. Is there anything left to find?
