AI consulting without theatre

Production AI and architecture guidance for CTOs, VPs, CIOs, and founders.

QBo Coherence AI helps leaders reduce the entropy in AI and software estates: adoption strategy, production infrastructure, platform architecture, incident resilience, and the uncomfortable decisions between prototype and production.

Translation: systems you can see into, recover, and afford — without the demo theatre.

Three ways in

Fractional CTO & Architecture Advisory

When the work is not a one-shot rescue or build — ongoing technical guidance, architecture reviews, hiring shape, and board-ready cover for founders and executives.

From £300/hour

Rescue or build

Rescue — live system under pressure

Production Rescue

Reliability, cost, and incident response for live AI/ML systems that are hurting. Stabilise first, then fix the cause.

From £200/hour

Start a rescue →

Build — something new to ship

AI Build

Book an assessment first: whether the idea should exist and who owns it in production. A specific product, agent, integration, or harness is a separate build booking after that.

From £200/hour

Start with assessment →

Proof

Custom AI and ML that has to hold past the demo.

Agentic systems, model integrations, evaluation harnesses, inference platforms, automations — shaped by production scars at trillion-token scale. Proof: the inference-platform case study, plus writing on agentic failure modes and production AI economics.
