Praxis AI Operating Partner

Services

The ladder.

A sequenced path from first clarity to governed agentic operations. Every step is fixed-scope and fixed-price, and every step proves value before the next begins.

Step 01 · Start

Clarity Session

Free · 30 minutes

An honest conversation about where you are, what matters, and whether we can help. No pitch, no deck — just a working session that ends with a credible starting point, whether or not it involves us.

You bring

The question on your board agenda and a sense of where the friction is.

You leave with

A named starting point and the honest case for — or against — going further.

Step 02 · Diagnose

AI Diagnostic

£5,000 – £10,000 · 2–3 weeks

Discovery, readiness, and roadmapping for companies asking where to begin. Understand the current state, map priority workflows, quantify the investment case, and leave with a board-ready 100-day adoption path.

  • Stakeholder interviews (up to 8 people)
  • Workflow observation and mapping
  • Current-state technology audit
  • AI opportunity mapping and quick-win identification
  • ROI modelling and prioritisation
  • Board-ready roadmap and investment summary
Week 1

Find the starting point — interviews, workflow observation, operating baseline.

Week 2

Design the adoption path — opportunity mapping, ROI modelling, governance needs.

Week 3

Board-ready roadmap — executive summary, prioritised plan, performance case.

Step 03 · Prove

Agentic Workflow Sprint

£20,000 – £35,000 · 30 days

Rapid delivery of bounded, production-ready agentic workflows — agents, automations, dashboard slices, or operating capabilities, depending on agreed scope. Working prototype by end of week one, or the engagement pauses at no cost. Sprints repeat: each one adds a governed workflow to the same four layers.

  • Week-one working prototype — guaranteed
  • Production-ready scoped workflows and agents
  • Integration with existing systems
  • Edge authority design and team training
  • Documentation and handover
  • Outcomes report with measured results
Week 1

Deep dive, workflow design — working prototype delivered.

Week 2

Build the scoped capability and its integration path.

Week 3

Governance and integration — edge authority, testing, edge cases.

Week 4

Launch and adoption — go-live, training, operating rhythm, measurement.

Step 04 · Operate

Fractional AI Operating Partner

£8,000 – £12,000 / month · 3-month minimum

Your embedded AI operating partner, ongoing: operating, measuring, optimising, governing, and expanding deployed agentic capability — with board-ready progress evidence where contracted.

  • Monitoring and operational support
  • Monthly operating reviews
  • Adoption optimisation
  • Governance support and expansion evaluation
  • Board-ready progress evidence
  • Roughly a quarter of the cost of an in-house AI operating partner
Rhythm

Weekly delivery cadence, Friday summaries, monthly satisfaction pulse.

Posture

Month-to-month after the minimum — we earn the renewal or we exit gracefully.

AI Due Diligence

£8,000 – £15,000 · 2–4 weeks, depending on access to people and data

AI-accelerated diligence on the data room, mapped to your firm's diligence process and scored against your own measures. What the deal team receives:

  • Indexed artefact map: every document classified, grouped and searchable
  • Thesis-aligned scoring: each area scored against your measures and the deal thesis
  • Red-flag question set: the hard questions, drafted with evidence and citations
  • DD process map: what's covered, what's open, what's missing

One question now belongs on every deal: could today's AI models and a motivated team rebuild the target's product in ninety days? If so, its moat is a head start, and the price should say so.

01 · Itemise & index

Every artefact in the data room: itemised, indexed and de-duplicated.

02 · Group to process

Mapped to your firm's diligence process and deal stages.

03 · Score to measure

Scored against your defined, PE-specific diligence measures.

04 · Align to thesis

Key details surfaced against the investment thesis and target.

05 · Challenge & map

The challenging questions, written. The DD process map, drawn.
