Pilot Production Review
A clear fix-or-stop decision on up to three stuck pilots, with the cost and time to production for each.
Fixed fee, agreed before we start
AI pilots into production
Your AI pilot worked. Your business didn't change.
Opta6 gets AI pilots that worked into production and into daily use, in weeks.
Research suggests only around 5% of enterprise generative AI pilots reach full-scale production.

Pilots rarely fail on the technology. They get stuck on everything around it.
The six production enablers
Between the demo and daily use, there are six places a pilot gets stuck.
Every pilot that reaches daily use has all six in place. Most stuck pilots are missing at least one. We find which, and build it inside your business.
Most organisations don't know these six exist
Pilots are usually run as technology experiments. Production needs six things a pilot never had to have: a testable spec, a governed data path, a team to build it, an evidence pack for risk, a named owner and an adoption plan. Opta6 puts those in place, inside your team.
What we do
Three stages. Each ends in a decision. Most clients start with the Review.
Each can be bought on its own. Each ends in something you can act on.
Production Push
One pilot taken to a live production slice with real users, and weekly use measured against the success measure you agreed.

How we work
Five rules we don't bend.
Senior people only
The people you meet are the people who do the work. No handover to a junior team after the sale.
Inside your business, not beside it
We work in your environments, with your people and your data, so what we build is yours to run.
Agreed outputs, no open-ended billing
You know what you'll get, and what it costs, before each stage starts. No open-ended time and materials.
Fix it or stop it
Every pilot gets a decision. Stopping one that won't pay back is a good outcome: it stops the spend.
Vendor-neutral
We choose models and tools to fit the problem, and work with whoever built your pilot.
Who it's for
UK mid-caps with pilots, but nothing in production.
You've run two or more AI pilots in the last 18 months. None is in production with real weekly use. You don't doubt AI; you doubt your organisation's ability to land it.
- Financial services: asset servicing, wealth, platforms and insurers
- Private equity-backed portfolio companies
- Industrial distribution and manufacturing
- Typically £50m to £1bn revenue, 250 to 5,000 staff

Our own product
We run AI in production ourselves
Opta6's founders built and run MyAdminMate, a voice-first AI product in daily use by UK tradespeople. The testing, data, monitoring and adoption work we do for clients is work we already do on our own product.
