Case study / Public services, international

5 months from no AI estate to a governed AI platform, with its first multi-agent system in production.

A platform that turns agentic ideas into production systems.

Outcomes
0 days
From idea to validated prototype, on real data, in the customer's own environment
0 days
From validated prototype to production, through a structured go/no-go
0 environments
Lab, development, test and production, governed and guardrailed by risk tier
Customer
A global public-services group, four regions
Timeframe
May to October 2026
Starting point
No AWS or AI estate beyond Copilot
What we built
A reusable AI platform and an AI product development lifecycle
Where it runs
The customer's own AWS account
Proven by
A multi-agent system that retired legacy software for the commercial team
01 / The situation

No AI estate, and nowhere to take an idea

The customer had ideas across their global estate. Lots of good intent and vibe-coded solutions, but nowhere structured to promote them. Outside of Copilot there was no AI estate. Every idea was a slide or a vibe-coded app. None made it to production.

Starting point: Copilot, nothing else
02 / What we built

A platform with four environments, and a lifecycle designed for AI product development

In the customer's own AWS account we stood up lab, development, test and production, with guardrails and governance by risk tier. On it sits the lifecycle designed for AI product development: an idea becomes a defined use case, then a validated prototype on real data within five days. A go/no-go, then agentic development takes it to production within sixty days.

Idea → prototype in 5 days · prototype → production in 60
03 / The proof

The first use case went live in October

A multi-agent system for the commercial team retired the legacy software it replaced and returned around 330 person-days a year to a team of fifteen. It ran the lifecycle end to end, in region, on real data. The next use cases are already on the board, and the customer runs the lifecycle itself.

How five months was possible

Our lifecycle, our harness, and people who have done it before

01

The AI product development lifecycle

An idea becomes a defined use case, a validated prototype and a go/no-go, with the customer's governance signing at each gate.

02

Agentic development

Our IP: an AI delivery team doing the volume, independent AI gates on every step, evaluations gating every release.

03

An expert core

People who have taken AI into production before, holding the decisions, the architecture and the customer relationship.
