AI pilots into production

Your AI pilot worked. Your business didn't change.

Opta6 gets stalled AI pilots into production and into daily use, in weeks, on a fixed price.

Research suggests only around 5% of enterprise generative AI pilots reach full-scale production.

Pilots rarely fail on the technology. They stall on everything around it.

The six stall points

Between the demo and daily use, there are six places a pilot gets stuck.

Every stalled pilot is held up at one or more of them. We find which, and fix it inside your business.

  1. Shape“We don't know what good enough looks like.”
  2. Data“It worked on the sample. Real data is a mess.”
  3. Delivery“IT says Q3 next year.”
  4. Approval“Risk won't sign it off.”
  5. Ownership“Everyone liked the demo. Nobody owns it.”
  6. Adoption“We launched it. Nobody uses it.”

What we do

Three fixed-price stages. Most clients start with the review.

Each can be bought on its own. Each ends in something you can act on.

Pilot Stall Review

2 weeks

A clear fix-or-stop decision on up to three stalled pilots, with the cost and time to production for each.

Fixed price · from £[PRICE_REVIEW]

Production Push

6 to 10 weeks

One pilot taken to a live production slice with real users, and weekly use measured against the success measure you agreed.

Fixed price · from £[PRICE_PUSH]

Capability Handover

How we work

Four 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.

  • Fixed price, fixed scope

    You know the cost and the outputs before we start. 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.

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

If you haven't run a pilot yet, we're probably not the right first call.
