An AI consultant who tells you the truth.
Before a line of code, you need to know whether AI is even the right move. FWS is a hands-on AI consultancy that finds where it genuinely pays off — and says so plainly when it doesn't.
From confusion to a costed plan.
Everyone's been told they "need AI." Few have been told where, why, or whether it's worth it. That's the gap we close.
An AI opportunity audit.
We learn your business, map the workflows where time and money leak, and score each AI opportunity by impact and effort — then hand you a roadmap your team can actually act on.
- AI-readiness & opportunity audit
- Impact / effort prioritisation
- Build-vs-buy & model selection
- A costed, sequenced roadmap
- An honest go / no-go recommendation
Local where it helps, remote where it's faster.
We're Reading-based and work across the South East and the UK. Pick your area for local detail.
AI consultancy questions.
FWS is an AI consultancy based in Reading, Berkshire, working with businesses across London, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Wiltshire and the wider UK. We meet in person for kickoffs and key milestones, and run the rest online — so you get a senior AI consultant near you, wherever you are.
A good AI consultant finds where AI genuinely pays off before any code is written. We audit your workflows, score opportunities by impact and effort, advise build-vs-buy and model choice, and hand you a costed, sequenced roadmap you can act on — with or without us.
The first 30-minute call is free. From there, a focused AI Sprint (two weeks to validate an idea and ship a prototype) has a fixed price, and advisory retainers are flexible and senior-led. We scope and price transparently once we understand what you need.
Then we'll tell you. A good chunk of our calls end with us recommending something simpler than AI. An honest "not yet" is a perfectly valid outcome — trust is the only thing that compounds.
Both. We work with everyone from two-person startups to enterprise teams. The common thread is wanting AI done properly, not just quickly.
