Custom · Advisory

When the situation
doesn't fit a programme.

Bespoke advisory when a productised programme isn't the fit. We scope custom, fixed-fee engagements for one-off board briefings, incident support, vendor reviews, and specialist advisory work - delivered with the same principal-led discipline as our core programmes.

Engagement overview

Four types of bespoke engagement.

Some situations are too specific, too urgent, or too bounded to warrant a full programme. These four engagement types cover the most common scenarios where organisations need expert AI advisory delivered quickly and to a defined brief.

01

Board & Executive Advisory

Focused briefings, workshops, and readiness reviews for boards, audit committees, and executive teams navigating an AI decision. Delivered as a half-day, full-day, or multi-session engagement calibrated to your specific question.

02

Vendor & Model Risk Reviews

Deep-dive assessment of a specific AI vendor, foundation model, agent platform, or data pipeline before you sign or deploy. We examine capability claims, risk surface, contractual protections, and fit-for-purpose against your use case.

03

AI Incident Response

Rapid support for prompt injection, model leakage, hallucination-driven exposure, or vendor breach involving AI systems. We mobilise quickly, assess impact, support containment, and help you communicate clearly to your board and regulator.

04

Regulator & Audit Preparation

Targeted preparation for APRA, TGA, or ISO 42001 engagements, including evidence packs, mock reviews, and remediation planning. We help you walk into a regulatory conversation with the documentation and posture to defend your position.

How bespoke works

Scoped, fixed, and delivered.

  1. Discovery conversation

    A short call to understand the situation, the question you need answered, and the audience for the output. No charge, no obligation.

  2. Fixed-fee proposal

    A clear scope document with defined deliverables, a fixed fee, and a realistic timeline. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.

  3. Principal-led delivery

    The same senior practitioner who scoped the engagement delivers it. No handoffs to junior staff, no templates dressed up as bespoke work.

  4. Actionable output

    Every engagement ends with a clear output - a briefing, a report, an evidence pack, or a structured recommendation - designed for the specific audience and purpose.

Frequently asked

Answers to the questions we get most.

We scope every custom engagement in a short discovery conversation before proposing. You receive a fixed-fee proposal with a defined scope, deliverables, and timeline. No open-ended retainers, no surprise additions.
For AI incident response we aim to be operational within 24 to 48 hours of engagement. Contact us directly at [email protected] with urgency flagged and we will respond same day.
Yes. Many clients begin with a board briefing or vendor review and move into a structured programme once the organisation has alignment on the need. There is no obligation to continue, and we will tell you if a bespoke engagement is the right starting point or if a structured programme would serve you better.
Yes. Regulator preparation and vendor risk reviews often run alongside or are commissioned by legal, risk, or internal audit teams. We are comfortable operating in that context and producing outputs designed for legal review.
