Buy the capacity while it builds · from £3,000 per engagement

The Customer AI Revenue Engine

The answer to “we are not consultants.” Executive AI business consulting capability you deploy inside your own customers, without building a standing bench first.

Before anything else

Who owns what.

You lead throughout. Specialists work under your direction, as part of your delivery team. This is the part that matters, so it comes first.

Yours

You own the customer

Before, during and after

  • No independent relationship is formed, sought or retained.
  • If your customer approaches us directly, they are referred back to you — and you are told it happened.
Yours

You lead delivery

In every session

  • You attend every customer session. The work happens with you in the room, not on your behalf.
  • Specialists work to your direction, as part of your team.
Yours

You sign the work

Every deliverable

  • Everything that reaches the customer carries your name, because you led it.
  • Not white-labelling. Your name is on it because it is your engagement.
Yours

You win the build

And the revenue

  • The engagement ends at implementation readiness.
  • The build that follows is your work, quoted by you, delivered by you.

We sell no software, no licences and no implementation. The build is yours.

So there is no ambiguity

What this is not.

Not this

Not consultants for hire

You are not renting people to send somewhere. You lead every engagement, attend every customer session, and sign every deliverable. Nothing happens at your customer that you are not part of.

And not a route to your customer.

Not this

Not implementation

It ends at implementation readiness. We do not build, configure, integrate, secure, deploy or operate technology, and we do not bid for the work that follows. That is the half you already own.

The build is yours, always.

The two products

Two things you can describe in a sentence.

And that a customer can buy.

One day, on site

Executive AI Briefing

From £3,000

  • Who is in the room. Your customer’s CEO, CFO, COO, CIO and business leaders. One day, together.
  • What it produces. Executive alignment, a priority opportunity map, and a decision on whether a programme should proceed at all.
  • Why it works as an opener. It is small enough to say yes to, and it puts you in the executive conversation on day one.
Thirty days

AI Accelerator

From £18,000

  • What it covers. Executive intent to implementation readiness, in thirty days.
  • What it produces. Twelve deliverables, ending in a proof of concept and an implementation pack the build can actually be run from.
  • What it sets up. A specified requirement — written with you in the room rather than by somebody else.

The AI Accelerator

Twelve deliverables. Nothing vague.

Planning, not implementation. Each one is a document or artefact your customer receives, with your name on it.

01

Executive Discovery Report

What the leadership team actually said, and where they disagree.

02

Current State Assessment

How the work is done now, in the processes that matter.

03

Process Redesign

What the work should become before technology is applied to it.

04

Target Operating Model

How the business runs once the change has landed.

05

Opportunity Prioritisation

Value against feasibility, ordered, with the reasoning shown.

06

Business Case

What it is worth, in a form that survives a CFO.

07

Investment Case

What it costs, over what period, against what return.

08

Executive Roadmap

Sequence and dependencies, at board altitude.

09

Supporting Evidence Pack

The evidence behind the case, structured clearly.

10

Solution Blueprint

What the technology must deliver — the requirement you will build to.

11

Proof of Concept

Designed as executive proof, not a technical demonstration.

12

Implementation Pack

Everything your delivery team needs to start the build.

Eligibility and any claim remain entirely between you and Microsoft. We help ensure the commercial case and its supporting evidence are structured clearly; we do not advise on eligibility and we do not participate in a claim.

Where the capability comes from

We can teach this because we do it.

Formalus is our specialist client-facing commercial transformation capability. Where a partner needs executive AI business consulting capability inside a live customer engagement before its own is fully built, Formalus supplies it — under your agreement, in your name, with you leading.

Formalus performs commercial transformation work only. It does not sell licences, does not implement, and passes every technology implementation it specifies to the partner.

A firm that teaches a capability it does not practise is a training company. A firm that practises it and cannot teach it is a competitor. This is neither — it is the same capability, available two ways: built into your business, or brought into your engagement while you build it.

The economics

Why buying the capacity is the correct order of operations.

Building a bench

Expensive, slow, and idle

Executive commercial capability is expensive to recruit, slow to season, and idle between engagements. Very few MSPs at £2m to £100m can carry it, and the ones who try usually carry it at the wrong seniority.

The cost arrives before the revenue does.

Buying the capacity

Per engagement, while you build

You take the opportunity now, at full executive credibility, and the cost sits inside the engagement that generated it. Meanwhile your own capability is being built through Growth Executive, and you need this less each quarter.

A fractional cost against a whole opportunity.

This is not a compromise or a stopgap. For most MSPs at this size it is simply the correct order: build the capability, buy the capacity while it builds.

Take the opportunity you would otherwise decline.

Start with a Growth Review. Ninety minutes on where your AI practice is constrained, what removing that constraint is worth, and whether this is the right way to close the gap while your own capability builds.

Win the business case before you win the build.
