Sound familiar?

You probably need Nought if…

Your Laravel app is fragile

Features break when you touch old code, deployments feel risky, and nobody fully understands the system.

Your WordPress site is a mess

Plugin debt, slow pages, broken templates, abandoned builders, or custom functionality nobody wants to maintain.

Your team is stuck in spreadsheets

Manual admin, copy-paste workflows, reports, customer replies, stock, and listings are eating hours every week.

Your AI prototype is not production-ready

You have a demo, prompt, or workflow that works sometimes — but it needs turning into a reliable system.

Your agency has inherited a nightmare

Client project gone wrong, legacy build, awkward handover, messy database, unclear scope, or urgent rescue work.

You need delivery, not theatre

You want someone who can drop in, understand the system, fix what matters, and ship.

The ORBIT Framework

Outline, research, build, integrate, test

A practical loop for turning messy systems and AI ideas into working software without pretending a project is linear.

View full process
01 O

Outline

We define the outcome, constraints, risks, and what success needs to look like.

02 R

Research

We inspect the code, data, tools, users, and bottlenecks before choosing a direction.

03 B

Build

We create a working prototype or fix the core system early, so feedback is based on reality.

04 I

Integrate

We plug the work into your real workflow with approvals, logs, and handover paths.

05 T

Test

We test behaviour, reliability, safety, and usability before anything becomes business-critical.

Most projects orbit through these stages more than once: first to understand the shape of the work, then to harden what is worth shipping.

How we use AI

AI where it helps. Engineering where it matters.

We use AI to speed up analysis, documentation, automation, testing, and repetitive workflows — not to blindly generate fragile systems. Private code and business data are handled carefully, and production changes are reviewed like normal engineering work.

  • No blind AI code dumps
  • Human-reviewed implementation
  • Private-code-conscious workflows
  • Local-first options available
  • Clear rollback and testing approach
  • AI used for measurable operational outcomes

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you actually do?

We parachute into broken and stalled projects, find the real blockages, and ship a simple version that works. The system uses AI for speed and humans for judgment. We improve it every week until it delivers clear business results.

Will this replace my team?

No. The best results come from AI + humans together. AI drafts, sorts and fetches; your people approve, decide and handle exceptions. The goal is fewer repetitive tasks and more time for high-value work.

How do we stay in control and avoid “rogue” AI?

Critical actions always need a person to approve them — no auto-send emails, orders or code changes without a human click. Every run is logged so you can see who did what and when. If confidence is low, the system asks for help or falls back to a safe answer.

Is our code or data safe?

Yes. We can work inside your existing repo, staging environment, or private systems under NDA. For AI-assisted work, we avoid sending sensitive code, credentials, customer data, or private business logic to external tools unless explicitly agreed. Local-first workflows are available where required. We don’t sell your data or use it to train public models.

What happens when the AI gets it wrong?

The system is built to catch mistakes. People can review and correct outputs, sources are shown where possible, and changes are tracked. We roll out gradually to a small group first, watch for issues, and only then expand.

How long until we see something working?

Most clients see a working demo in 2–4 weeks. In week one we set goals and risks; in weeks two to four we ship a focused MVP you can use. Then we iterate based on real feedback.

Will this work with our tools and data?

Yes. We plug into what you already use — email, docs, chat, CRM, data stores — so you don’t have to rebuild your stack. If something isn’t available, we agree a simple workaround instead of stalling the project.

What does it cost?

We price by outcome, not hours. Starter projects from £1,500 cover small websites, audits, or focused fixes, with simple maintenance from £200/month. Sprints start from £5k, larger build partnerships from £15k+, and technical retainers from £1,500/month.

Who owns the work?

You do. Code, prompts, playbooks and documentation are handed over at the end, along with training for your team.

What if we already have a dev team?

Perfect. We plug in beside them — handle the AI architecture, pipelines, or tricky integrations so your team can focus on what they do best.

Got a messy system, broken workflow, or AI idea that needs shipping?

Send a few details. If it is a fit, we’ll suggest the smallest sensible next step — usually an audit or focused sprint.
