Opta6
They were data, integration or process problems with an AI budget attached. We run fixed-price assessments that tell executives which is which — with a working prototype to prove it.
The useful question isn't "where can we use AI?"
It's "where is intelligence the bottleneck?"
Track record
Opta6 has delivered software and architecture into regulated, multi-entity operations. The AI assessment is new; the ground it covers is not.
What we do
We'd rather be known for one thing that works than list eight services. This is the one that's live.
Two weeks to establish where intelligence is genuinely the bottleneck across your operating model, ending in a one-page executive heat map with a defensible reason recorded for every candidate — in and out. Then three to six weeks building a working prototype on the one or two processes worth proving, using synthetic or sanitised data.
Reserved. Same shape: named buyer, fixed fee, one page, one CTA. Nothing goes here until it has been sold once.
Reserved. If the list ever grows past three, the page has stopped being a proposition and gone back to being a services menu.
Why us
Which means the answer can be "don't". The most valuable output of an assessment is usually the list of things you've decided not to do — and that's a hard finding for anyone whose next quarter depends on the build.
The failure modes here are integration, data ownership and adoption. Those are architecture problems, and they're what we've spent twenty-five years doing in regulated, multi-country operations.
Working software on a sanitised sample, with measured failure modes — not a slideware pilot that needs another pilot.
Who we are
Opta6 is a small UK consultancy. Engagements are run by the person who does the work, and capacity is deliberately limited to two at a time.
The AI Opportunity Sprint is led by Patrick, an enterprise and data architect with twenty-five years designing the systems this assessment interrogates — regulatory reporting, master data and group integration across multi-country operations — and currently building a voice-first AI product, which is where the working view of what models do and don't do reliably comes from.

Two hundred words, no sequence, no pitch. Reply if it's a live problem and we'll pick it up; unsubscribe and we'll stop the same day.
Corporate addresses only. We keep a legitimate interests assessment on file and never share the list.
