AI systems that recover revenue, cut operational costs, and give your team time back. Built for growing SMEs.
Book a discovery call→services · what we deliver
Most businesses don't come to us knowing exactly which AI system they need. They come with symptoms: missed calls, slow follow-up, admin drag, stale leads, disconnected tools, software their team isn't using properly. We find where value is leaking, then build the system around it.
outcome
Every inbound that doesn't get answered, every lead that goes cold, every CRM record nobody calls. We build the systems that work the inbound layer around the clock.
outcome
Hours your team loses on data entry, reporting, document workflows, invoice processing, and admin chase-ups. We rebuild those processes around AI that handles the volume work.
outcome
A layered AI workspace around your business. It connects company context, data, meetings, workflows, and automations so owners get better visibility, less manual work, and more capacity to work on the business.

Operating principle
The model is the easy bit. Built to fit your existing systems, not on top of them.
MIT's 2025 report found 95% of generative AI pilots deliver no bottom-line impact, and adoption is the consistent reason. We walk the people who'll use it through what it does, so it lands.
Process · six steps
A conversation about how the business actually runs. Where time leaks, where the team is stuck on manual work, and which bottlenecks are pulling them away from revenue-driving work.
A structured map of every place AI could fit. We prioritise what's worth building, flag what would fail at adoption, and rule out the noise. Output: a roadmap with ROI projections.
We design the system around the gap. Workflow, integrations, who does what, how it gets monitored. Data flow and compliance built in from the start.
The actual build: voice agents, sequences, automations, apps. Built bespoke to integrate with your existing systems.
Your team learns the system before it goes live. Documentation written for the people who'll use it, not for the people who built it.
The system runs without us in the room. Monthly performance reviews to track adoption, handle maintenance, and benchmark ROI against the project plan. We keep scanning for new opportunities as the AI landscape changes.
about · who we work with
Sherlock Intelligence is a diagnostic AI consultancy. We work with SMEs that have outgrown the spreadsheet but don't have an internal tech team to build their way out. We find the leak. We build the fix. We hand it over.
01 · Who we work with
We work with three kinds of companies:
02 · How we decide what to build
Every build has to earn its place. It should recover revenue, cut operational costs, or give your team time back. If it doesn't do one of those things, it shouldn't be built.
03 · How we diagnose
Most of our work starts with a diagnosis. You don't always know what you need. You know what's broken, what's slow, or what your team is losing time on. We find the system that fixes that specific thing, then build it.
04 · Data and compliance
ICO · DPIA · UK GDPR
AI projects often fail first on the data and compliance side. Sensitive data ends up in tools nobody mapped, DPAs get signed without a DPIA, the first time anyone reads the privacy notice is when the ICO asks for it. We map the data flow before we build, and write the privacy notice before the system goes live.
contact · get in touch
Most projects start with a 30-minute discovery call.
The call
No deck. No demo. We walk through what's going on in your business, where time and money are leaking, and whether an AI system would actually help. If it would, we tell you what it would look like and what it would cost. If it wouldn't, we tell you that too.
Send a message
We'll come back with times that work.
Or just email john [at] sherlockintelligence.co.uk.
What happens next
Clear problem, clear fit, fast scope. We go to proposal.
The problem isn't yet shaped enough to scope. We run a paid discovery first, then scope.
The thing isn't worth automating yet, or AI isn't the right tool. We say so. No invoice for that.
Whichever it is, we'll tell you.
