Frequently asked questions
What does fractional mean?
You get an experienced executive for an agreed number of days a month instead of a full-time hire. They own the role, attend your leadership meetings, and are accountable for results.
How can AI-driven development be up to 10x faster without cutting corners?
Most time in a traditional build goes on writing and rewriting code. We put that time into requirements, design and review instead, and AI agents write the code against agreed requirements. Every change is still reviewed by an engineer, tested automatically and security checked.
Is our data safe when you use AI?
We agree data handling rules before any work starts: which data AI may see, which models and providers are used, and where processing happens. Where needed, we work inside your own cloud environment. Regulated data such as card data is kept out of AI tools unless the environment is designed for it.
Can you carry out our PCI DSS assessment?
No. We are not a Qualified Security Assessor. We scope, build and operate compliant environments, prepare your evidence, and work alongside your QSA through the assessment.
Do you only work with payments companies?
Payments and fintech are where we have the deepest experience. We also help other businesses adopt AI and automate operations, and we bring the same standards of security and governance to that work.
Can you take over a project that is already running?
Yes. We start with a short review of the code, the plan and the team, then tell you plainly what we would keep, fix or stop.
What is x402?
An open standard that lets software, including AI agents, pay for an API call or a piece of data within the request itself, usually with stablecoins. It makes pay-per-use services possible without accounts or subscriptions.
Where do you work?
Across the UK and EU, remotely and on site.
How do engagements start?
