Acuity AI Advisory

AI Consulting & Implementation · Ireland & UK

Too many manual steps
and not enough people.
We fix that.

We find where your organisation's hours are going and build back what AI and automation can recover, inside the systems you already run. We assess the practical changes and agree how their effect will be measured. We have no stake in which tools you pick.

A broader Capacity Recovery Audit is available when the problem spans several teams. You can also start with one workflow or a practical team workshop.

Start with the problem in front of you.

You can bring one bottleneck, one team or a wider organisational question. The starting engagement should fit the work.

A process is eating our team's time

Start with one workflow: the files, systems and manual steps involved. Agree the scope and fee before any work begins.

We need our team using AI properly

Examples of work we have delivered

01

Work out which manual steps are worth changing

A workflow assessment separated practical improvements from changes that depended on a future system. It also identified where automation risk outweighed the likely benefit.

Workflow assessment

02

Make AI drafts easier to evaluate

Tailored long-document guidance gave a team a way to structure its inputs and compare AI drafts against an existing human-reviewed output.

Copilot adoption

03

Give the board a basis for oversight

A tailored session examined responsibility for AI-assisted information and the questions directors need to ask before relying on it.

Board advisory

04

Check policy against actual use

A position note identified where written policy needed to reflect authorised tools and supplier safeguards, for the organisation's own review.

Paying for Copilot. Can't prove it changed anything?

The licence spend is visible. The usage and impact are not. Most Irish organisations renewing Microsoft Copilot cannot evidence whether it is producing measurable productivity gains — or which teams are using it at all.

Because we are independent, we can tell you which work belongs in Copilot, which belongs in purpose-built tooling, and which licences to cut at renewal. The recommendation has no commercial interest in the outcome.

The strategy is the easy part.
Making it work is the job.

Most AI engagements end where ours begin. A deck gets presented, a roadmap gets filed, and the organisation is left to do the actual work alone, which is the hard part, and the part that decides whether anything changes.

We see through what we recommend. We work out where AI genuinely creates value, then make it happen: building when building's right, buying when buying's better, integrated with what you already run, and we stay until it's working. We've no stake in which tools you choose, so the only thing driving the recommendation is what's right for you.

Most engagements begin with a conversation. No agenda, no pitch. Just a clear read of where you are and an honest assessment of what's actually worth doing.

What independence means

-Not a Big 4 firm. No cross-sell pressure.

-No vendor relationships: the recommendation is never driven by a commercial interest in the outcome.

-We advise, build, and implement, whatever the engagement requires.

“I'd watched it happen too many times: the tool gets bought, the strategy gets written, and nothing actually changes. I built Acuity to be the part that makes it work.”

I spent fifteen years inside Microsoft — including five as COO across Western Europe — watching organisations make the same mistakes with technology adoption. The tool gets selected first. The process gets reverse-engineered to fit it. The expected productivity gain never arrives.

I left to build the firm I couldn't find when I needed it: independent, senior-led, and there for the build — not just the advice. No junior consultants handed the engagement once the contract is signed. No proprietary frameworks designed to create dependency.

Every engagement starts the same way. We talk. I understand what you're actually dealing with. Then we figure out together whether and how to proceed.

EvidenceoverEnthusiasm.

AI is the most over-promised technology in a generation. The organisations that get real value from it are the ones that started with an honest diagnosis — not a vendor demo.

Training that changes how people work

Most engagements begin with a single conversation.

No agenda. No pitch deck. I'll ask what's not working, you'll tell me what you've tried, and between us we'll establish whether there's something worth exploring further.

What to expect

1

We talk

30–45 minutes. You explain your situation. I ask questions. No preparation required on your side.

2

I share what I'm seeing

Specific ideas and approaches we've used in comparable situations — so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

3

We decide together

If there's a fit, we figure out the right way to work together. If there isn't, I'll say so plainly.
