AI transformation for teams
with real work to do.

Bring the
blocker.
Leave with
the artifact.

We help teams improve workflows, modernise systems and choose useful AI. Start with a concrete output: a workflow sketch, a technical decision or a testable use case.

Where does your
work get stuck?

No perfect brief needed.
Choose a perspective, or start with your own words.

YOUR STARTING POINTStart wherever the work gets stuck.
A POSSIBLE FIRST MOVE

You don’t need
the answer yet.

A POSSIBLE FIRST ARTIFACTA clear problem boundary and a testable next step.
What would this artifact contain?

Illustrative outline, not completed client work or an analysis of your note. The perspective you choose changes this outline.

The question
One decision, its owner and the constraint that matters.
The options
Trade-offs, assumptions and a reason to choose or stop.
The next test
A baseline, an acceptance check and who will run it.

A working session fills this in together. The optional Blocker Brief includes this outline.

How would we test it?

Bring one real example of the friction. Together, we can decide whether the answer is a process change, better systems, AI or simply a clearer decision.

What progress could look like

A useful baseline and an agreed way to judge whether the first change helps.

What should we bring?

A redacted example and the person closest to the work. No polished brief required.

When is this not the right first step?

If the answer is already clear and your team can deliver it, a specialist engagement may add little. Start with the constraint, not a purchase.

Same rebuild. Different measures. Not a causal model or a forecast.

Self-reported results from one prior team-led rebuild, not separate Happens client cases. They do not establish AI or workflow ROI.

NOT SUPPLIED HERE

The primary records.

The original measurement records are not included here. Ask for the relevant baseline, period and conditions.
FOR YOUR DECISION

Check the comparable work.

Ask for a relevant, shareable artifact and a baseline for your own workflow or AI use case.

What this means for your decision

A track record to discuss, not a substitute for checking the experience and constraints relevant to your own project.

Source and measurement context

The figures are reported by ST on the Happens lead profile, with conversion attributed to client dashboard metrics. The public account does not include the underlying traces, client identity, measurement windows or architecture. They are prior team results, not independently verified here.

Ask for relevant, shareable evidence and agree a baseline for your own engagement. A published account is not a substitute for the original records.

One real blocker.
One useful way forward.

THE HEIST

45 minutes.
One well-scoped blocker.

Human-led. AI-assisted.
Scope, preparation and fee agreed beforehand.
A first artifact, not a production rollout.

A QUESTION TO EXPLOREWhat would make the next decision easier?

FRAME

What are we
actually solving?

Agree the outcome, the person who owns it, and the constraint that matters most. Make the question small enough to answer well.

WHAT YOU GAINA shared problem boundary and a useful definition of better.
The Happens mechanism before the handover
Different perspectives. One useful direction.

Illustrative sequence. Agree the scope and artifact before the session.
Production validation and rollout are separate decisions.

IF IT EARNS THE NEXT STEP

Start small.
Go further for a reason.

Scale only what survives the first decision.

  1. HeistA useful decision.
  2. ValidateTest the assumptions.
  3. PilotProve it in real work.
  4. BuildProductionise what earns it.
  5. TransferLeave the capability with you.

Each step is a decision, not a commitment to the next. Sometimes the right outcome is to stop or use what you already have.

More capability.
Not less accountability.

In a Heist, specialist AI workflows can explore alternatives, prototype approaches and challenge assumptions in parallel. The Heist Lead frames the problem, checks the work and owns the handover.

HUMAN JUDGMENT

Framing. Trade-offs. Sign-off.
The lead owns the handover.

AI LEVERAGE

Alternatives. Prototypes. Checks.
AI expands the options, not its authority.

A good first step
has clear boundaries.

Do we need an agency at all?

Sometimes the right answer is an existing tool, a configuration change or your own team. Start by understanding the constraint. An engagement should add expertise or delivery capacity that the problem actually needs.

What does the first engagement cost?

The first conversation establishes fit. Scope, preparation, fee and the artifact are agreed before you commit to a Heist. Sending an enquiry does not book a session or commit you to a fee.

What happens after the artifact?

Review the result before scaling. The next decision might be validation, a bounded pilot, a phased change or stopping. Production readiness, access, ownership, support and acceptance criteria are agreed explicitly.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Your problem.
A way
forward.

What gets in the way?
What would better look like?
That is enough to start.

Sending an enquiry is not a booking or a commitment to a fee.

SOURCE RECORD / PRIOR TEAM WORK
Behind the numbers.
Three reported outcomes from one e-commerce rebuild. Useful context, not a forecast for your project.


PUBLISHED ACCOUNT
Performance, infrastructure cost and conversion.
The lead's profile reports the three measures shown in Evidence from the same team-led rebuild, with conversion attributed to client dashboard metrics. This is a published account, not independent verification.
Read the original account ↗


WHAT IT DOES NOT ESTABLISH
No original trace, named client, time window or controlled causal analysis is available here. The figures do not establish equivalent savings for an AI or workflow project.


WHAT TO CHECK IN THE ORIGINAL RECORDS
Site performance
Which page or operation, under what load? Request the before-and-after timings and measurement method.
SQL cost
Which billing periods and workload? Check whether scope, capacity and usage were comparable.
Conversion
What counted as a conversion, over which period and traffic mix? Check attribution and other changes made at the same time.
These are verification questions, not measurement details supplied by the account.
