Smarter business, smaller budget

Stop replacing legacy systems. Start "wrapping" them.

What will you learn?

  • The "Strangler Fig" pattern: Learn the technique of building a "smart layer" around your legacy systems (invoicing, payroll, or logistics) to inject intelligence without rewriting core code.
  • The Infrastructure Trap (Muda): How to avoid the "Data Nirvana" fallacy, cleaning all historical data, and instead use Just-in-Time data for low-risk experiments.
  • Solving "Human Middleware" (Muri): Strategies to stop staff from manually transferring data between incompatible systems by using intelligent wrappers with confidence scores.
  • Escaping the Capacity Trap (Mura): How to switch to on-demand processing and serverless architecture so you stop paying for 24/7 capacity you don't use.
  • The 30-Day Proof of Value: A structured approach to identify friction, build a wrapper, and validate results in a focused month, avoiding the "Big Bang" risk.
  • The "Safe Partner" checklist: A 5-point audit framework for UK compliance (Post-Brexit), ensuring your partner guarantees data sovereignty and has a plan for model drift.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional AI often requires a "Big Bang" overhaul of data architecture and high upfront costs. Lean AI focuses on "wrapping" existing legacy systems to solve specific friction points with minimal disruption and budget.

It allows businesses to add modern AI capabilities (like automated data entry or predictive analytics) to legacy software without rewriting the underlying code. The AI acts as a "smart wrapper" around the old system.

Yes, provided the partner adheres to strict data sovereignty (keeping data in the UK/EU) and uses "Human-in-the-Loop" safeguards for low-confidence decisions.

It offers data safety (core business data remains untouched), speed (validating solutions in weeks rather than years), and cost efficiency (avoiding the CapEx of full digital transformation).

We specialise in running "Proof of Value" sprints for the UK mid-market. We identify the friction, build the wrapper, and validate the results before you scale.

You don’t need a Silicon Valley budget. You need a focused month to identify friction, build the wrapper, and validate results.
