Industries we work with
These are the industries where we've spent time, understand the specific challenges, and can bring relevant cross-domain experience.
If your industry isn't here, we're still happy to chat - we just might need to learn your world first.
You're managing complex regulatory requirements whilst trying to actually run a business. The challenge isn't compliance itself - it's documenting what you're actually doing versus what vendors promised, and keeping informal processes under control before auditors arrive. We help with fractional CSO services and compliance documentation that reflects reality.
You're sitting on valuable datasets but struggling to monetise them beyond your core offering. You're good at managing data - it's your business - but seeing new revenue opportunities requires a different lens. We help unlock value from existing data and explore data farming strategies.

Time is your inventory, but tracking it properly conflicts with actually doing billable work. Client onboarding is scattered across systems, and knowledge walks out the door when staff leave. We build process automation that respects your security requirements and knowledge systems that survive turnover.
You're juggling multiple platforms to keep different contractors happy whilst trying to run jobs profitably. Job costing happens after the fact when it's too late to adjust. We connect systems that actually work together and implement costing that happens during jobs when you can still do something about it.
You've nailed your product but your internal operations are held together with hope and spreadsheets. Engineering wants to rebuild everything, sales wants features yesterday, and operations investments keep getting delayed. We bring technical perspective to vendor negotiations and build ops systems that get the same attention as your product.
Seasonal demand creates feast-or-famine cash flow, and maintenance scheduling lives in notebooks. Similar challenges to trades but with the added complexity of marine compliance and parts availability. We apply the same systematic approach that works for trades.
You're creating content across multiple formats but not systematically reusing and adapting it. Project management tools built for widgets don't fit creative workflows. We're interested in content reuse strategies and AI integration that amplifies creativity rather than replacing it.
Why cross-domain thinking matters
A finance company with transaction data they're not analysing has the same fundamental challenge as a trades company with job data they're not using - valuable information that could drive better decisions just sitting there. A hospitality business with manual inventory faces identical workflow problems to a digital product company with manual onboarding.
Most consultants specialise deeply in one industry. That's valuable for domain expertise, but it creates blind spots. They don't see solutions from other industries that would work perfectly in yours.
We bring the cross-domain perspective. The trade-off is we're not the deepest specialists in any one field. But we see connections others miss and apply solutions from unexpected places.
When we're probably not the right fit
- • You need someone who lives and breathes your specific industry - we're generalists who connect patterns across industries
- • You want impressive presentations for the board - we build working systems, not PowerPoint decks
- • You're optimising for funding rounds over building sustainable businesses - we care about profitability
- • You need deep industry-specific compliance expertise - we understand compliance challenges but refer specialist work to experts
