Fund AI from the waste in the bill.
If the technology bill can fund a hire, it can fund a sprint. This is a fixed piece of work a finance director can read: cloud and Azure, software licences, vendor contracts, connectivity and telephony, every line with a name against it. If the sprint will not pay for itself, we say so at diagnose and stop.
Contracts keep auto-renewing. That is the cost of waiting.
A FIXED PIECE OF WORK A FINANCE DIRECTOR CAN READ
Firms of 50-200 people whose technology line keeps creeping. Often a PE-backed estate that grew by acquisition. Sometimes a professional services tenant that kept every resource, licence and contract "just in case".
The sprint earns its fee most reliably once combined technology spend (cloud, licences, contracts) is past £10k a month. Under that, we look at diagnose and say honestly whether it pays. If the real problem is ownership rather than waste, start a conversation about the Head of IT seat instead.
We treat the bill as a board paper.
Everyone says adopt AI. The bill is where that advice lands. Copilot seats, consumption-priced tokens, pilots that never closed, and an AI feature on every vendor renewal: AI spend sprawls the same way cloud spend does, and it belongs on one bill somebody reads.
So the sprint reads the AI lines like every other line. What you pay, what it is for, who owns it. And where the estate is carrying waste, that is the plainest way to fund the AI work worth doing: an AI Opportunity Audit to find where it pays, a tenant made ready, or one workflow put live.
We sit with finance and with the people who actually run the subscriptions. The bill comes first. The tour can wait.
A board-readable outcome: the cost pack, the changes we made or queued, and the run-rate you should expect next quarter.
Bills grow back when nobody owns them. One or two days a week from someone who already knows your estate. Or keep the gains and run it yourselves: either way the place is stronger.
A pack the FD can read without a cloud dialect.
Changes made or queued, each with an owner.
A number the board can put in the forecast.
If the estate is already tight, we say so and stop.
From £4,950, fixed.
Scoped precisely at diagnose. If the sprint will not pay for itself, we say so before you spend a pound more. On contract and licensing work where savings are cleanly attributable, part of the fee can be taken as a share of the first year's saving instead: agreed in writing, capped, reconciled against the invoices.
There is no monthly subscription. After the sprint, the Head of IT retainer (from £4,750 a month) is how the bill stays owned, if the seat still needs filling.
All six services, and the framework they belong to, are on one page.
The whole technology line: cloud and Azure, software licences, vendor contracts, connectivity and telephony. What you pay, what it is for, what nobody can name, and a written recommendation with a number, an owner, and a risk.
Usually, once combined technology spend is past £10k a month. Under that we look at diagnose, and if the sprint will not pay for itself we say so and stop. The fee is fixed either way, so you know the downside before we start.

No. 80% off a live cloud bill is a fact from an estate we already ran, one of the six facts on the record. Your number will be your number.
No. 250+ servers to Azure is also a fact on the record from an estate we ran. We do not sell it as a migration product. This page is the bill.
You keep the partner if they work. We sit above them for the cost pack and the decisions.
No. We do not publish a monthly price. After the sprint, the Head of IT retainer is how the bill stays owned, if the seat still needs filling.
The first conversation costs nothing and changes what happens next. Bring the last bill, the licence list, or the renewal that is about to sign itself.
