Talk to Clive one on one about changing the game for your business. The starting point is your knowledge of your customers, your people and the work you do every day.

Together, we turn that knowledge into a practical AI adoption plan, then work through a focused pilot with your team.

A hands-on FDE consulting framework

FDE means Forward Deployed Engineer: working alongside leaders and staff to understand real work, identify an opportunity, and build and test a better workflow. The framework draws on all 12 chapters and FDE Playbooks in Vertical AI: Changing the Game, applied to your business.

  1. Discover the work

    Walk through a real workflow with the people who do it. Identify delays, repeated effort and the outcome worth improving.

  2. Build a controlled pilot

    Start with one bounded workflow. Build and test alongside your team, with human review and clear permission boundaries.

  3. Measure what changes

    Compare the pilot with your starting point: time, quality, rework and customer experience. Check where people still need to intervene.

  4. Scale what works

    Use the evidence to decide what to improve, stop or expand. Give your team an operating guide and a practical next-step roadmap.
