DIGITAL MONOGRAPH 01

Hi, I’m Steve Quinlan.

AI consultant for established service firms. I work with MDs and ops leads to take their AI from one-off prompts that work "most of the time" to systems that work on repeat.

● Business at the centre ● Evidence-led ● No hype

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

“AI works best when the business stays at the centre.”

SECTION 02 // WHO THIS IS FOR

Built for firms already using AI.

You have started with AI. You want more from what you have built. Three things keep coming up in conversations with MDs and ops leads:

01

“We’ve got AI working. Now I want to get more out of it.”

02

“We’re using it. We cannot tell if it is actually working.”

03

“Each tool sits on its own. None of them connect to the business.”

Best fit
Established service firms, around 30 people, £2m–£20m revenue, already three to twelve months into AI.

SECTION 03 // PRODUCTISED AUDIT

Start with the AI Visibility Scorecard.

A productised 10-day audit. £2,500. Fixed scope.

You leave with an AI setup you can trust, working on repeat, and a sequenced action plan to get there. AI is already describing your firm to buyers. The Scorecard tests how it answers, scores the gaps, and sequences the fixes.

SECTION 04 // METHOD

How I work.

Three disciplines, applied in order. Each step earns the next; nothing skips ahead. The discipline is what makes AI repeatable.

Discipline 01
01

Experimentation.


A decade of running test programmes. Evidence over instinct. The instinct to test, measure, and iterate does not switch off just because the tools have changed.

Discipline 02
02

Prioritisation.


Connect ideas to commercial KPIs. Sequence by impact. Fix the biggest gap first — never the loudest.

Discipline 03
03

System design.


Design AI as part of how the business actually runs. Not bolted on. Not a tool sitting next to the work — part of the work.

SECTION 05 // PROVENCE

Why me.

A decade of running experimentation programmes for Vitality, LV=, NatWest and others. Then three years building AI inside NatWest from 2023 onwards. Same discipline, new context.

That product, UX, and conversion-optimisation stack is the lens — not a CV bullet. It's how I read every problem you bring me.
