For UK boards · £10M–£100M turnover

A clear path
to AI that
pays back.

One accountable firm, from the boardroom decision to the build floor. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need the board position, the build, both — or neither.

EU AI Act · UK Governance Code · ICO guidance — mapped as standard

01 / Where you are

Most companies are improvising.

Every board is somewhere on this line. Being honest about where is the first decision.

Scenario 01

Legacy.

Manual, reliable, expensive. Dependable at yesterday’s pace.

Scenario 02 · The mirror

Improvised.

Tools without a method: individual accounts, unclear IP, no gates. Where most pilots die.

Scenario 03

AI-native.

Foundations, guardrails, essentials. Fast, owned, measurable. It compounds.

The middle scenario happens by default — unless the third is chosen deliberately.

02 / The offer

Three ways to work. One accountable firm.

01
01 · Decide

BoardRoom AI · the intelligence layer

Board-ready AI intelligence: a 7–21 day immersion sprint, then a monthly subscription only if it pays back.

“Set the position.”

Start with the sprint
02
02 · Build

Bespoke · the build layer

Tailor-made AI, built and run: audit, build, integrate, automate, train — then stay embedded.

“Ship the work.”

Scope a build
03
03 · Run

Govern & Enable · the assurance layer

Board accountability, AI policy, role-based training, quarterly assurance — the lowest-commitment way to start.

“Keep it paying back.”

Start with governance
03 / The first step

Sprint first. Commit after.

01
A call

30 minutes

The honest answer, including “you don’t need us yet”.

02
The immersion sprint

7–21 days

Inside your numbers and operations.

03
The position

Costed options

Options costed against doing nothing; a recommendation your board can sign.

04
Only then

Subscribe, build or govern

Only if it pays back.

Tell us where you are before you commit a penny.

04 / Why us

The third option.

Between a £100k strategy deck and guessing, there was nothing built for the £10M–£100M board. That’s the gap NowNext exists to close.

One firm, no hand-offs

Board position to shipped software, nothing lost in translation.

Costed, defensible

Every recommendation priced against the cost of doing nothing, with an evidence trail your audit committee can follow.

Honest by design

Sprint first; we say “not yet” when it’s true.

NowNext is the AI-focused arm of Craft Frame WORKS Ltd — sister company to CraftFrame, the growth studio.

05 / The ask

The honest answer costs one call.

Thirty minutes. Where you are, what AI changes for your business, and whether we’re the right next step — including if we’re not.

06 / FAQ

Before you book.

What does it cost?
The sprint is fixed-price, scoped in days (7–21) before it starts. Everything after is priced only against the payback case the sprint itself produces.
We already use ChatGPT. Why this?
Tools without a method is the Improvised scenario — unclear IP, no gates, no payback measure. We turn usage into an owned, governed capability.
Is our data safe?
No client data trains third-party models; analysis runs on agreed, aggregated extracts; EU AI Act, UK Governance Code and ICO guidance mapped as standard.
