Practical AI consulting for small teams

Turn scattered AI experiments into a system your team can trust.

FROMPTA helps founder-led teams find where AI belongs, design controlled workflows, and add agents only when the process is ready.

  • No tool shopping list
  • No automation theatre
  • Human checkpoints built in

The real problem

A bad process with AI becomes a faster bad process.

Most teams do not need another AI tool. They need to decide what the work is, who owns it and how good output is recognised.

01

Prompt chaos

Useful outputs live in one person’s chat history instead of a shared process.

02

Unstable quality

The same task produces a different answer every time because inputs and checks keep changing.

03

Automation too early

A tool is connected before the team agrees what should happen and what can go wrong.

04

No accountable owner

The agent acts, but nobody owns the decision, exception or customer impact.

METHOD / FROM PROMPTS TO AGENTS

Use the smallest system that makes the work reliable.

An agent is not the goal. A controlled result is. We move forward only when the previous layer works.

01

Prompt

A clear request for one task.

USE WHEN

Use when the work is occasional and a person owns the output.

GUARDRAIL

Keep the review human.

02

Workflow

A repeatable path with inputs, steps and quality checks.

USE WHEN

Use when the task repeats and good output can be defined.

GUARDRAIL

Standardise before you automate.

03

Agent

A delegated loop with tools, limits and a stop condition.

USE WHEN

Use when the workflow already works and bounded autonomy adds value.

GUARDRAIL

Add approval where mistakes are expensive.

04

Operating system

Shared standards, ownership and measurement across the team.

USE WHEN

Use when multiple people and processes depend on AI every week.

GUARDRAIL

Measure quality, time and failure modes.

HOW WE WORK / CLEAR STEPS, CLEAR PRICES

Start with one process. Build only what earns its place.

Each engagement produces a useful result on its own. Continue only when the next layer is justified.

123BUSINESS VALUEIMPLEMENTATION RISK
12-PERSON TEAM90-DAY ROADMAP

Start where repetitive work already leaves a trail.

The best first opportunities have clear inputs, visible friction and output a person can review.

01 / B2B services

Turn discovery notes into a consistent proposal workflow.

02 / Small agencies

Move from ad hoc briefs to controlled delivery and QA.

03 / E-commerce

Triage support and review signals without automating customer trust.

04 / Micro-SaaS

Convert user feedback into prioritised product and support decisions.

What stays manual

Good AI design includes the decision not to automate.

01

High-stakes judgement

Keep a named human responsible for decisions that affect money, people, legal exposure or trust.

02

Unclear exceptions

Do not delegate a process when nobody can explain what should happen outside the happy path.

03

Sensitive context

Minimise what enters a model and choose tools only after the data boundary is understood.

04

Unreviewable output

If the team cannot recognise a bad answer, the task is not ready for autonomous execution.

Ongoing AI Partner

An AI specialist in your corner. Without another full-time role.

Keep decisions moving after the assessment. Bring questions, drafts and proposed tools before they become expensive detours.

Common questions

Clear before we start.

01What is the difference between the free snapshot and the paid assessment?

The snapshot looks at one process and gives you one next decision. The assessment scans several business areas, ranks up to three opportunities and gives you a 90-day roadmap.

02Do we need to know which AI tool we want?

No. We start with the work, not the tool. A recommendation may be a checklist, a better prompt, a controlled workflow or an agent - depending on the process and risk.

03Does the monthly partnership include implementation?

No. It covers guidance, reviews, prioritisation and ongoing decisions. Builds, integrations and custom agents are scoped separately before work begins.

04Can we buy the assessment and implement it ourselves?

Yes. The assessment is designed to stand on its own. The roadmap is yours whether or not you continue with FROMPTA.

05How does Slack support work?

You can ask questions and share work for review in a private channel. Replies arrive within one business day. Slack is for advisory support, not emergency coverage or unlimited implementation.

06Are we locked into the monthly partnership?

No. Ongoing AI Partner is month-to-month. You can stop before the next billing period.

07What about confidential or customer data?

We identify sensitive inputs before recommending tools or workflows. Where risk is real, we minimise data, add human approval and define what must stay outside the model.
