Discovery & advice
Understand the problem, assess a potential use case and define the requirements for a pilot or implementation.
Government & defence
Start with the requirement.
Build the right response.
From organisations taking their first steps with AI to programmes needing specialist delivery capability: start with the ask. We help define the outcome, the expertise and how the work will be tested.
Engagement options
One specialist. A project.
The team your requirement needs.
Specialist capability
Explore AI engineer, architect and team engagements.
Scope and source AI SMEs, engineers and architects against your requirement. Assess relevant experience and agree the right engagement.
Project & team delivery
Assemble the proposed technical leadership, engineering and testing capability around your work. Agree milestones, responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
Delivery capacity, suitability, availability, responsibilities and the contracting route are confirmed for each engagement.
A working arrangement that fits
Your team or ours.
Clear responsibilities either way.
A specialist in your team
You direct the day-to-day work. We define the role with you, assess the expertise needed and arrange suitable sourcing and engagement options.
Agree who manages the work, how the specialist is engaged and what access is required before the start date.
Discuss a specialist →A Steadnet-led project
Agree a defined outcome, work packages and acceptance criteria. We propose the delivery team, technical oversight and milestones around that scope.
Named people, commercial responsibilities and mobilisation dates are confirmed before we commit to delivery.
Discuss a project or team →From an ask to evidence
Make the work testable.
Understand
Establish the problem, users, current workflow and intended benefit.
Specify
Build the task recipe: role, context, approved inputs, constraints, expected outputs and a definition of done.
Challenge
Challenge the proposed solution, test edge cases and question weak assumptions. Refine the work against its acceptance criteria.
Verify
Agree acceptance tests, evidence, human review and a definition of done.
An optional first engagement

Discuss discovery →What you receive

Already have a clear requirement? We can move straight to scoping the role, project or team. Discovery scope and timing are confirmed before purchase. Implementation, data remediation and additional use cases are quoted separately. A discovery may recommend a conventional solution or further preparation where AI is not the best fit.
Plan for the operating environment
Account for the constraints
from the outset.
Data sensitivity, approved tooling, access, security requirements and procurement all shape a workable engagement. We establish these with you before defining delivery commitments.
Useful details for a first conversation
- The business problem and intended users.
- The outcome you need and the required timeframe.
- Existing systems and known constraints.
