An underwriting engine, rebuilt
An unsupported underwriting engine rebuilt into a live, audited platform. The business-critical logic was carried across, then run and supported by the team that wrote it.

Software we have built and run
AI inference hosted in the UK
We have built AI inference that runs entirely in the United Kingdom for a client. UK-hosted deployment is available. Where a project uses a third-party model provider, we name it and document the data flow before implementation.
How we scope hosting and data flowsAinsley, our website assistant
Ainsley answers questions about DSC and can pass an enquiry to our team. We built the assistant with a kill switch and a logged record of exchanges. It calls a third-party model provider; it is not our example of UK-only processing.
Software first.
AI where it helps.
We start with the process and the system you need. That may call for a custom application, an integration or a legacy rebuild. Automation and AI fit where they serve that work.
We design AI systems with approval gates, bounded actions and auditable records. Data flows, model providers, storage locations, retention and subprocessors are documented before implementation.
- Approval gates
- A person approves consequential actions at defined points.
- Bounded actions
- Agreed permissions limit what an automated process may do.
- Auditable records
- A record of what ran, with a way to stop the process.
- Hosting and data
- UK-hosted options, with the actual processing arrangements documented.
What we build
Web applications, internal tools and APIs; existing platforms modernised while preserving the business logic you rely on. Build is our software discipline. Routine IT changes sit within managed IT.
Custom software
Applications built around how your business works, including legacy systems rebuilt without losing the hard won logic you depend on, engineered with security in from the first line of code. Our main line of work, and what everything else here plugs into.
Explore custom softwareApplied AI, governed
AI put to work where it earns its place, with approval gates, bounded actions, a kill switch and auditable records, so a person stays in charge of what it may do.
Explore applied AIWorkflow automation
The repetitive manual work that takes up your team's week, automated and made reliable, with approval gates and a full audit trail so it stays under control.
Explore workflow automationSystems integration
The tools you already run, made to work as one, so data flows correctly and your people stop bridging the gaps by hand.

30 seconds · Silent explainer. Custom software, automation and integrations.
From a working process to working software.
We review the work your people need to do and the systems involved. Then we design the application, integration or automation around that process.
You see working software during the project. Security, permissions, testing and deployment are part of the work. Where AI is used, its actions and approval gates are agreed.
The team that builds the software can also host, maintain and support it.

Still copying the same data between systems?
We build software, integrations and automation around the way you work. It's scoped separately from managed IT.
First, agree the data, access and what happens when something goes wrong.
Then test the normal flow and the exceptions. Document it, and check the agreed acceptance criteria before handover.

From discovery to support
Discovery
Understand the process, existing business logic, users, dependencies and the result the software must achieve.
Design
Agree the architecture, security, hosting and any AI controls. Approve the scope and plan before implementation.
Build and test
Review working software early, test the business logic and integrations, and check permissions and audit trails.
Deploy and support
Plan the release and handover, with hosting, maintenance and support responsibilities agreed.
Built and run by the same team
We run and secure technology as well as writing software. That informs the way we design a web application, internal tool, API or legacy replacement.
The project includes the decisions needed after launch: hosting, access, monitoring, maintenance and the person responsible when something needs attention.
- Build
- Custom software designed around your process.
- Renew
- Legacy systems modernised while retaining the logic you depend on.
- Connect
- Tools integrated so data can move between them correctly.
- Govern
- AI with approval gates, bounded actions, a kill switch and an audit trail.
Talk through your software project.
Bring the process worth automating, the system you need or the legacy platform that needs attention. We will discuss the work, its dependencies and a sensible first scope.
