Most organisations have already adopted AI through employees using personal accounts, unvetted tools, and ungoverned workflows. Shadow AI is the norm, not the exception.
The question isn't whether your organisation uses AI. It's whether you control it, comply with it, and can explain it when the regulator asks.
That's where architecture meets governance. That's where 8020 operates.
Multi-step orchestration, tool-calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and decision-loop automation. Built for production, not prototypes. Current engagements include autonomous pharmaceutical compliance agents and DUAA Section 103 enforcement architectures within Azure AI Foundry.
EU AI Act, DUAA Section 103, MHRA, ABPI Code, GDPR. Policy frameworks, risk classification, audit trail architecture, and explainability layers embedded into every solution. Not bolted on at the end.
Aligning AI initiatives with business goals. Ensuring security posture. Building solutions that enterprise procurement teams and risk officers approve on the first review, not the fourth.
Audit uncontrolled AI usage across the organisation. Transform governance risk into competitive advantage through structured adoption frameworks and AI literacy programmes that actually change behaviour.
Every 8020 engagement is built with regulatory compliance, data governance, and enterprise security as non-negotiable foundations. Architecture is the deliverable. Governance is the standard.
You know you need AI. The question is how to buy it without signing a blank cheque. Every engagement is scoped to a defined outcome and a fixed price, so you know exactly what you're getting before we start.
A structured audit of where AI already lives in your organisation, where the governance risk sits, and where the highest-return opportunities are.
A specific agentic system or governance framework, designed, built, and handed over. One price, one outcome, no scope creep.
Continuous architecture and governance oversight for organisations scaling AI across multiple functions. Your standing AI architect on call.
Not sure which fits? Most engagements begin with a Readiness Assessment, which de-risks everything that follows. The assessment fee is credited against any build that comes from it.
Deep stakeholder engagement. Document every manual workflow step. Understand the pain operationally, not just intellectually.
Map the solution backwards from the ideal outcome. Define the minimum viable architecture that proves the concept works.
Rapid prototyping within the enterprise ecosystem. Working agents and automations in days, not months.
Embed governance, documentation, and team training. Solutions that sustain without dependency on external consultants.
Whether you need an AI readiness assessment, a fixed-fee agentic build, or retained architecture oversight, the first step is a conversation.
30 minutes with 8020. Bring the challenge. Leave with a clear view of the architecture and the engagement that fits.
