01 · See the waste
Find where time and money disappear.
Manual re-keying, spreadsheet dependencies, duplicated information, avoidable errors and work that has survived simply because nobody has redesigned it.
A fixed-scope engagement · £1,250
Find what is worth changing.
Before you invest in AI, automation or another platform, understand how the work happens now and what would make a measurable difference.
The Alchementary Opportunity Review
Know what to do before you spend.
For UK organisations with 15–100 employees, several systems, and a growing suspicion that something could work better.
We examine up to three areas of your operation, speak with the people closest to the work, map the systems and hand-offs, and give you a clear order of action. Some recommendations may involve AI. Some will not.
02 · Judge the options
Put evidence behind the decision.
Each material opportunity is considered by value, feasibility, time to value, strategic fit, confidence, adoption ease and risk.
03 · Know Monday's work
Leave with an order of action.
A practical 30-day, 90-day, 6-month and 12-month roadmap, including the things that are not worth buying or building.
Four stages. One useful answer.
Listen
Questionnaire, preparation and a 90-minute discovery meeting.

What you receive.
| Deliverable | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Current landscape | Major systems, information flows, recurring friction and dependency on people or spreadsheets. |
| Opportunity map | Candidate improvements ranked by value and difficulty, with clear DO NOW, PROVE NEXT, PLAN and DON'T DO categories. |
| Top opportunities | Enough solution shape to show what could work, what it might cost and which assumption needs testing. |
| AI suitability | AI NOT REQUIRED, AI OPTIONAL, AI JUSTIFIED, AI HIGH-RISK or AI INAPPROPRIATE, based on the actual work. |
| Security and data view | What enters the system, who can access it, where it is processed, and what happens when it is wrong. |
| Roadmap | Practical action over 30 days, 90 days, 6 months and 12 months. |
We measure the cost of work before talking about AI. Twelve people spending fifteen minutes a day on one task adds up to 660 hours a year—enough to ask whether there is a better way.
A clear scope, with no surprises.
The Review includes one organisation, up to three operational areas and up to five key stakeholders. It does not include penetration testing, legal certification, production implementation, migration, formal DPIAs, procurement or guaranteed savings.
