What does Aldbry actually do?
We pick one recurring job inside a firm, the one that eats the most fee earner time for the least client value, and rebuild it so it takes minutes rather than hours. That might be the write-up after every client meeting, the proposal assembled from old bids, the monthly update to each client, or the evidence pulled together for an audit. Those four areas are where most of the unbillable week goes.
The result is not a recommendation. It is the job itself, running differently, inside the firm, with the team trained on it. We call that one process, live, and it is the only thing we sell.
Which firms is Aldbry for?
UK professional services firms with somewhere between 20 and 200 people: practices, consultancies and firms where the people who bill are also the people buried in write-ups, reports and paperwork. Think law firms, accountants, surveyors, engineers, architects, brokers, recruiters and agencies. The sectors pages go into each in more detail.
It suits a firm that can name the job that hurts and put someone with authority in charge of changing it. It does not suit a firm under 20 people, where the saving is too small to justify a build, or a firm looking for a strategy paper.
How is Aldbry different from other AI consultancies?
Most of what this market sells is paper. An assessment, a roadmap, a feasibility study: a document explaining what a firm could do, followed by a separate conversation about who will do it. We do not produce those. We take one process from how it runs today to how it will run from now on, and we put our fee on it being live in 30 days. If it is not live in 30 days, the firm does not pay.
We also do not start from a tool. Plenty of firms already pay for Copilot or ChatGPT licences and have seen very little move. The reason is simple: a tool is not a process, and extra training sessions do not change how the work flows. The job has to be rebuilt around the tool, so the quick way is the way it is done.
And we do not charge by the day. The fee is fixed, set by the process in question, and written down before anything starts. Our note on fixed fees and day rates explains why.
Who is on the team?
We are operators and builders rather than advisers. The team's background is in delivery, and in building automated systems that work.
- The team has delivered on schemes worth up to £220M.
- The team has worked up to project-director level across four frameworks and seven tier-one contractors.
- The team includes a civil engineer who worked as a Works Manager on TfL LoHAC and at Interserve, Jackson Civil, Barratt and Ringway Jacobs.
- The team has more than 35 years in industry, combined.
That background matters for one reason. Delivery work at that level runs on records, reports, handovers and evidence, produced against deadlines and checked by someone senior. The same pattern fills a professional services firm's week.
What has the team built?
The team has built and shipped four systems that are running now:
- A B2B sales system, built for a UK supplements brand to generate and qualify trade enquiries.
- Automated sales systems, built to drive product revenue for DTC brands.
- AI engagement systems, built to grow and sustain social media engagement.
- Process automation, built across an agency, running from ideation through content production to publishing.
None of these was a pilot left on a shelf. Each one is in daily use. That is the standard every rebuild is held to.
How does working with Aldbry start?
With the audit. Ten questions, about three minutes. It estimates the unbillable hours your fee earners lose each week, what those hours cost a year at your own charge-out rate, and which single process to tackle first, with every assumption shown. From there, how we work sets out the 30 days in full.
