01The problem

You already know something could work better.

Office-based or physical, already digital or still on paper and whiteboards: the same leaks turn up everywhere. We start from wherever you are today.

People & know-how

“If two key people left, we’d really be in trouble.”

We turn what’s in their heads into SOPs and tools the whole team can use.

Process

“Everyone does the same job a slightly different way.”

We map how work really gets done, then make the best way the standard way.

Stock & assets

“We never quite know what we’ve got, or where it went.”

Live tracking from goods-in to dispatch, with losses flagged the same day.

Workforce

“Everyone’s flat out, but output just isn’t going up.”

Better scheduling, handovers and priorities, so the same team gets more done.

Sales & margin

“We’re busier than ever, but we’re not more profitable.”

We find which customers and jobs make money, then fix pricing and follow-up.

Oversight

“I only hear about problems once it’s far too late.”

One live view of the operation, built from what your people already record.

Also: purchasing, quality, maintenance, compliance and safety records, onboarding, customer service.

02Our method

We built our own way of putting frontier AI to work inside a business.

You don’t need to be digital to start. AI can now read handwritten job sheets, photos of the whiteboard and voice notes from site. That’s where we begin.

The metis Loop

  1. Read

    We walk the floor, talk to your people and take in the paperwork.

  2. Reason

    AI finds where time, stock and money leak, and ranks every fix by return.

  3. Build

    Better processes, clear SOPs, and the tools and agents that make them stick.

  4. Run

    Rolled out with your team, measured in your numbers, then round again.

03The result

A ship recycling yard working several vessels at once. Steel was graded by eye, weighbridge tickets lived on paper, and nobody could say exactly what was in the yard.

  • +8%more steel sold at top grade
  • −64%fewer yard stock discrepancies
  • −21%time to dismantle each vessel

A food manufacturer running two shifts. Line set-ups lived in three supervisors’ heads, stock was counted by hand, and every changeover ran long.

  • −40%time lost to line changeovers
  • −55%stock written off each quarter
  • 4 daysto train a new line operator

A 120-person professional services firm. Proposals took a week, timesheets were filled in from memory on Fridays, and partners chased status by email.

  • +11%more billable hours captured
  • 1 dayto turn round a full proposal
  • −6 hrsof admin per manager per week

04The first step

Fast to start. Proven before you commit further.

For established businesses where a few points of margin, or a day a week back across a team, is worth serious money.

  1. A conversation

    Tell us what’s on your mind. We’ll say if it’s worth it.

  2. An assessment

    Fixed scope: where it’s leaking, ranked by return.

  3. The build

    We agree the numbers, then build it with your team.

  4. Keep improving

    Optional, and only once the first round has paid off.
