How we engage

Four phases. Outcomes you can measure.

Every engagement runs the same shape, whether it's a six-week strategy sprint or a multi-quarter delivery. Each phase has a clear exit, so you keep optionality on the next.

  1. 01
    Discover1–2 weeks

    Understand the business.

    We sit with your leaders, operators, and data. The goal is a shared, evidence-based picture of where success lands first and what it's worth.

    • Stakeholder interviews & shadowing
    • Process & data audit
    • Opportunity roadmap
  2. 02
    Diagnose2–4 weeks

    Rank the opportunities. Choose the bets.

    We score every opportunity on value, feasibility, and risk, then pressure-test the top ideas with prototypes. The strategy isn't decided on slides.

    • Prioritised roadmap
    • Investment case & target architecture
    • Working prototypes for top 1–2 bets
  3. 03
    Deliver8–16 weeks

    Build, integrate, and ship into operations.

    Practitioner-led teams build the chosen solutions on radax or your own stack. Wired into your systems, governed, and adopted by the people who'll run them.

    • Production-grade solution
    • Integrations, security, and audit
    • Adoption plan & change runway
  4. 04
    ScaleOngoing

    Lift the second use case in half the time.

    We hand over to your team with the patterns, platform, and skills to run it, then come back to scale the next opportunity at lower cost and risk.

    • Internal capability uplift
    • Reusable platform primitives
    • Quarterly value review
Consulting

Choose the right scope for where you are now.

Most engagements begin with one of these starting points. Nothing is off-the-shelf. Within the first week, the scope is shaped to the realities of your business.

AI for Business

Our flagship course. Purpose-built for your business.

Most AI training is either too theoretical to act on or too technical to attend. AI for Business is neither. It's the practical, decision-grade programme we wish existed when we were running transformations ourselves.

Curriculum · 6 modules

  • M1

    Introduction to AI

    A clear, non-technical grounding in what modern AI systems can and cannot do. How today's models reason, where they fail, the risks leaders must understand, and the shared language required to ask the right strategic questions.

  • M2

    Introduction to GenAI

    How generative models differ from earlier automation, where they create step-change value, and where they do not. Practical exploration of GenAI capabilities through workshops anchored in your real operating context.

  • M3

    Core Prompt Patterns

    The core interaction and prompting patterns that underpin reliable AI systems. Why most pilots stall, how effective prompts translate into repeatable workflows, and what changes when moving from experimentation to production use.

  • M4

    Business use cases

    Structured discovery of AI use cases across your business processes. We identify, score and prioritise opportunities based on value, feasibility and risk, leaving with a shortlist owned by named operators.

  • M5

    AI service evaluation

    How to evaluate AI vendors and platforms with commercial and technical rigour. Understanding pricing models, data flows, security posture and the lock-in risks hidden behind 'AI-native' claims.

  • M6

    AI Ethics and Governance

    Practical governance for real organisations. Data protection, IP, bias, auditability and regulatory direction (UK and EU) addressed at a depth that risk, legal and compliance teams will support rather than block.

Delivery formats

  • In-house cohort
    2 hoursManagers & senior leaders

    Cohort programme delivered inside your business, on your real use cases. Mixes live sessions, collaborative work, and coaching clinics.

  • Executive masterclass
    1/2 dayBoards, ExCos, leadership teams

    A high-impact session for leaders who own the AI bet. Ends with a written investment thesis for your business, drafted in the room.

  • Public open course
    1 dayCross-industry peers

    Run quarterly in person around Scotland. Ideal for individuals looking to get sharp before committing to a full programme.

Why Dax

Senior leaders. Not a pyramid.

We are senior, accountable and deliberately small. You work with experienced practitioners who have done this work before, not layers of delegation or a rotating bench of juniors.

  • Senior by default

    The people you meet in week one are the people who deliver in week ten. No bait-and-switch on staffing.

  • Built on radax

    Solutions delivery runs on radax: the AI-native platform that gives you SSO, audit, retrieval, and orchestration on day one.

  • Skills handover, always

    Every engagement ends with your team able to run it. Training isn't a side product; it's how transformation actually sticks.

FAQ

Answers to the questions we hear most.

Don’t see yours? Send it our way.

Do you only work with clients who use radax?

No. radax is our preferred platform because it accelerates delivery, but we work happily on bespoke stacks. The choice depends on what's right for your data, controls, and existing investments, not what's right for our roadmap.

How small a piece of work will you take on?

A two-week strategy sprint is our smallest typical engagement. Below that we'd usually point you at a single training course, the fastest way to get a leadership team aligned on what to do next.

Can you run AI for Business inside our company?

Yes. In-house cohorts are the most popular format. We tailor the modules to your sector and use real examples from your business so the work people do during the course is work that ships.

Are you UK-based and UK-data-resident?

Yes. We're based in Aberdeen and our delivery teams are UK-based. Where data residency matters we pin deployments to specific regions, with full audit trails and no third-party model training on your data.

How are engagements priced?

Strategy sprints are fixed-price. Delivery work is typically time-and-materials, with solution subscriptions where relevant. Training is per-cohort or per-day. We'll give you an indicative shape on the Discovery call.
