AI Delivery Review
Start here · A fixed-price review of one team and one delivery workflow.
Clear. Hype-free. Experienced.
Make AI a reliable way to move your business forward
You’ve invested in AI. Is it making work better, or just adding cost and complexity?
Does this sound familiar?AI problems
Does this sound familiar?
-
You’ve invested in new AI tools, but you’re not seeing the benefits you expected.
-
“Shadow AI” apps are replacing spreadsheets and Access databases, without organisational oversight of hosting, security or who is responsible.
-
AI-generated changes look right at first glance but miss requirements or add regressions.
-
Review takes way longer than the code took to write. Key people are overwhelmed by the review work.
-
Costs go beyond tokens and subscriptions. Review and rework add to the bill, but the return and the extra value for customers are unclear.
How I approach it
AI Delivery Review
A fixed-price review of your AI use, delivery costs and quality. One team, one delivery workflow, from intent to release.
01 / Understand
Your team. Your use of AI.
I look at what’s helping and what’s getting in the way.
02 / Prioritise
Improvements in order.
I identify the changes that matter most.
03 / Test
A practical next step.
I define a small pilot and how to assess it.
From NZD $4,000 excluding GST. Review details
Scope and fixed fee agreed before work begins.
Services
Experienced help where you need it.
I help New Zealand businesses get reliable results from AI: predictable delivery, higher quality and AI costs you can see. For founders and technology or product leaders, from teams of 1 to 500 people and beyond.

Recent work
Practical work. Credible evidence.
Government software provider
From no AI adoption to over 90% in three months.
A four-person team then delivered an externally assured revenue-management product in under six months.
I led the adoption and built an AI Factory combining requirements, modular architecture and quality tooling.
New Zealand SaaS team
Five confirmed bug-reproduction pull requests in the first week.
Fourteen runs in a bounded agent pilot produced five confirmed bug-reproduction pull requests. The other nine were declined with named blockers, and every decision matched human judgement.
I helped the AI task force shape the pilot with architectural advice and quality tooling examples. Follow-up work automated the process of bug reproduction and recommended resolution.
Speaking & outreach
The AI Factory.
I am a regular speaker at KiwiSaaS and other events. My recent KiwiSaaS talks explore the AI Factory and what software teams can learn from manufacturing.
0120th Century machining as a job
Software in 2026 can learn from manufacturing in the 20th century. I explore how to shift to a ‘system’ mindset and think less in terms of roles. Start a conversation about standard work, quality built into the process of producing things reliably.
02Why the AI sidecar doesn’t work
Are you or your software team still applying practices from 2024 designed to control humans, rather than AI agents? Is your team still manually editing code or have editors or IDEs open?
Bolting AI onto those workflows can turn reviews, hand-offs and approval queues into the new delivery bottlenecks. Let’s discuss how to redesign the work around agents: clear intent, bounded tasks, automated checks and evidence that gives people confidence to release.
