AI consultancy for UK business owners and leadership teams

AI is on everyone’s list.
Who’s actually building it?

We find where AI will pay off in your organisation, build it with your team and measure the gains with you.

You’ll leave the call knowing whether AI can help, what it might cost and what happens next.

Dave Roberts, Founder, Tomorrow Platforms

Four good places to start

  • Your senior people lose hours to reports and routine work.

    We take that preparation off their desks so the hours come back.

    See the reporting work
  • You use AI, but everyone does it their own way.

    We can give your team one shared, tested way of working with it.

    How this would work
  • You hold information that could be earning more.

    We join what you know to useful public data and turn it into better advice, services and decisions.

    See the data work
  • What your experienced people know lives in their heads.

    We can help you work out what needs to stay and how someone else can use it.

The problem with AI today

AI is everywhere. Results aren’t.

It moves fast.

New tools appear every month, and it’s hard to know what’s worth your time.

Everyone uses it differently.

When each person has their own way of working with AI, you get inconsistent results and no way of knowing what works.

Lots of talk, little proof.

Can you say what AI has delivered for you so far, in hours saved or money earned?

We start with how your organisation works, then match it to what the technology can now do.

It starts with the time you get back.

  1. 01

    Save time.

    Around 4 hours

    a week back for a senior leader in tourism.

    Take repetitive work off your team’s plate, from reporting to research.

  2. 02

    Do more.

    Over 600%

    growth in Wildling’s database, handed over for its team to run.

    Use the time you get back to produce more with the people you already have.

  3. 03

    Create value.

    10,823

    development sites counted across England by Ortelias, the platform our founder co-founded and built.

    Build new products and services that grow the business, and make better decisions from the information you already hold.

Five stages, from first day to measured gains.

  1. 1START WITH A DAY

    Discover

    We spend a day with the people who know your organisation, on site or remote, and find where the biggest gains are.

  2. 2WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS

    Plan

    You receive a written plan showing what to change first, what to leave alone, the likely benefits and cost, and how we would measure success.

  3. 3IF YOU CHOOSE TO BUILD

    Build

    We design, build and test what you need around your team’s actual work, so it is ready to use.

  4. 4AS PART OF THE BUILD

    Embed

    We help your team start using it and make it part of everyday work, with training.

  5. 5MONTHLY RETAINER

    Improve

    We measure the gains with you every month and keep improving what we’ve built.

Stages 1 and 2The Discovery Day: £1,000, fixed

£500 when you book the day, £500 when you receive the plan. The plan is yours to use, whoever does the next stage.

Stages 3 and 4Fixed price

Scope and price agreed before work starts. Embedding is part of the build.

Stage 5Monthly retainer

Fee agreed with you.

Larger organisations get a quote for a longer Discovery before booking. Travel costs are agreed in advance.

Once it is running, we show you how to get the most from it and we track the results with you.

Already have a clear brief? We can discuss a build or research project directly.

Sectors we’ve already worked in.

If yours isn’t here, the first conversation will tell us both whether we can help.

Nature and wellbeing

We increased Wildling’s database by over 600%.

We brought over 7,700 UK places into the nature app’s national database, with location details, descriptions, facilities and images, then handed it over with workshops so the client’s team could run it themselves.

Tourism and leisure

Around four hours a week back for a senior leader.

We cut the time a senior leader in tourism spent gathering information and preparing reports, which left more of the week for acting on what the reports showed.

Property and development

From a property brief to sites worth investigating.

Ortelias is a subscription platform that uses AI to find development sites for sale across UK estate agent websites. Our founder is one of its co-founders and built the systems behind it. Its first national research counted 10,823 development sites across England, and Ortelias research has appeared in The Grocer and Forecourt Trader.

More of what we’ve built.

We helped a client focus their investment, saving up to two weeks of manual research.

We combined their proprietary data with messy open data to help them compare opportunities and shape their investment portfolio.

41% more LinkedIn post impressions for Ortelias in one week.

Why us

The person who tells you where AI will pay off is the person who builds it.

At Tomorrow Platforms that person is our founder, Dave Roberts. He does the work himself, from the first conversation to the system your team uses.

Three parts of his working life feed into every project. As a headteacher he led teams through improvement and helped people put new systems into practice. As co-founder, AI Systems Architect and Head of Research at Ortelias he builds the platform’s systems and tools. His doctoral research at Leeds University Business School looks at how organisations adopt AI and how it changes people’s work.

That is why we can work out what will help, build it and bring your people with it. A system only pays off when your team uses it.

Questions people ask before booking.

How do you measure results?

We agree the measures in your plan before any build starts, using the numbers that matter to you, such as hours saved, output or revenue. On the monthly retainer we review them with you every month and report what has changed. These are targets to work towards together, and we give no financial guarantee.

Where does our data go?

Before we access your information, we agree what we need, which systems will process or store it, who can access it and how long it will be kept. We use your information only for the agreed work and set out any sharing with external services in advance.

Who owns what you build?

Your data remains yours. Once paid in full, you own the agreed work created specifically for your business.

We retain ownership of our reusable tools and components. Where these form part of your system, your build price includes a continuing licence to use, maintain and adapt them for the agreed purpose, including through another supplier. Ending the retainer does not end that licence.

We agree ownership, handover and any separate software, hosting or subscription costs before work starts.

Do we need technical staff?

If you have an IT or data team, we work alongside them and support their lead. If you don’t, you don’t need an in-house AI specialist. We work with people who understand your business and agree the time needed for discovery, testing and learning to use the system.

What if Dave isn’t available?

Every build is handed over with what your team needs to run it, and your licence lets another supplier maintain it, so your system can keep running without him.

What if it doesn’t help?

A Discovery Day may recommend that you do not build anything. Before a build starts, we agree what it should achieve, how we will test it and how we will assess the benefits. We test it with your team before handover.

What does it cost, and how long does it take?

The Discovery Day is a fixed £1,000, with a written plan within five working days. Any build is priced separately and agreed before it starts. The stages above and the How we work page give the full terms.

Do we have to take the monthly retainer?

No. You can take the plan or the completed build and manage the next steps yourself, and any later help is agreed separately. The retainer is how we keep measuring the gains with you and improving what we’ve built, and we agree its fee with you. Any hosting, software or subscription costs are identified before work starts.
