Figures from your own systems, checked and signed off by management before every meeting. On time, in full, every time.
🔒 Your data stays yours. Signed agreements before any work begins.
Your executives keep their slides and run the meeting as they always have. The difference: every director has already read a verified pre-read, built from the same system data and signed off by management. Differences are settled before the meeting, not argued in it.
Figures from your ERP are reconciled to the ledger.
Verity & GrantThe CFO or company secretary approves the numbers.
ManagementA short brief, with every figure linked to its source.
BoardDirectors arrive briefed, so the time goes on decisions.
Management and boardSix things we do, built around how directors and executives actually work.
AI that reads the pack, summarises it, flags risks and drafts the questions worth asking.
Scheduled exports from your ERP feed the board's dashboard, so management's slides and the board's pre-read work from the same checked numbers.
Satisfaction surveys, reviews, complaints and market share collected automatically, so the board sees the direction of travel.
Every board decision gets an owner, a target and a metric from your systems, measured on every refresh until it is done.
One-to-one sessions until it's second nature. No jargon, no manuals.
Bespoke automations built by our engineering side for the things only your board does.
Most directors have met Claude as a chat app. We build on Anthropic's enterprise platform: the same intelligence, wired into your data, your schedule and your controls.
Holds up to about 1,500 pages in memory at once, so it can compare this quarter's pack with last quarter's and the budget without losing the thread.
Each statement in a brief links to the page it came from, so a director can check anything in seconds instead of taking it on trust.
Calculates the variances, draws the charts and produces the spreadsheet or slide pack, all checked against the source data.
Scheduled jobs check the overnight exports, publish the dashboard and have the board brief ready at 06:30, every day, without anyone pressing a button.
Works from your ERP, production, sales and banking data through exports you control. Nothing reaches the board until it has been checked and signed off.
Single sign-on, admin controls and an audit trail of who saw what. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, your data is not used to train its models.
The reason most boards haven't moved on AI is data. So we start there, in writing, before anything else.
Both agreements are in writing before we see a single document, including what happens and who is told if anything ever goes wrong.
We run it for you on Microsoft Azure, in an environment set up only for your company: its own database, encrypted with keys you control. Directors sign in with their existing Microsoft 365 work accounts, so your IT decides who gets in.
For banks and the most cautious boards, the same system runs inside your company's own Azure account. Your IT owns the infrastructure; we manage the application with the access you grant us.
Either way, your IT controls sign-in and approves the security setup, and we run and improve the system. Data is deleted from our side when you leave.
A non-disclosure agreement and a data protection agreement are signed before we see a single document.
We never sell, share or reuse your information, and we use AI services whose terms keep your data out of model training.
Your data belongs to you. Your IT decides who can see it, and if you ever leave, it comes back to you and is deleted from our side.
No access to your ERP. Scheduled CSV exports that your team controls feed the board dashboard, nothing more.
Stored only in your own secure environment, encrypted with keys you control. Banks can keep it entirely inside their own cloud.
Our technical lead builds systems for banking and government services, where data protection and biometric security are essential.
Draft: wording to be confirmed with a lawyer, including alignment with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
Every system we set up is designed, documented and run to the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 and the rules that apply to your sector, with independently certified technology partners behind it.
A one-off setup, then ongoing support so it keeps getting better.
A private conversation about your role, your board and where your time goes.
We configure your tools and workflows, then onboard you one-to-one.
Monthly support: we're on call and add new workflows as your needs change.
Twenty years in the boardroom, paired with bank-grade engineering and a team of AI agents. That's the whole idea.
I've spent 20 years at board level and more than 30 years leading businesses across Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. As a managing director I've run businesses with P&Ls of up to around US$100 million, led turnarounds, taken a division through a delisting and trade sale, and worked with private equity and large corporations. I know what directors actually need before a meeting, and what they never have time for. Now I set up the AI workflows I've built and run myself for leaders like you, one-to-one.
Gregan turns what a board needs into working systems. He is a senior software engineer at a leading African biometric identity-verification platform, promoted from intern to senior in under four years. He builds enterprise systems that verify identity and protect data for some of Africa's largest financial institutions, on a platform that has run more than 50 million face-match checks and is built to withstand deepfake and replay attacks.

Our workflows run on a team of specialised AI agents built on Claude. Each client gets a dedicated pod of three to five, focused only on that business and working around the clock. Brent and Gregan supervise every pod, and nothing reaches a board until it has been checked.
AI agents, not people: each one does a single job, is supervised by a founder, and leaves an audit trail.
A one-off setup, then a monthly retainer. Whole boards are priced per seat with a discount.
The simplest way to begin: Brent joins your board.
Brent takes a non-executive seat on your board and helps it adopt AI from the inside: setting direction, asking the right questions about risk and data, and showing directors what's possible with their own board work.
Discovery, configuration and one-to-one onboarding.
On-call support and new workflows every month.
Everyone on the board, set up together and supported as one.
For our first three boards: up to three people (for example the chair, the CEO and the company secretary) set up with a live board dashboard from their own systems, board pack summaries and decision preparation. We measure board-prep time before and after. In return, we ask for honest feedback, a testimonial and an anonymised case study. Same contracts and data rules as every engagement.
The core of what we deliver: board data from your own systems, checked and published on time and in full.
Your systems produce it. We check it. The board decides on it.
Directors who sit on several boards don't need another inbox. They need the right numbers, checked against the ledger, in front of them before every decision.
Each issue in a few lines: the evidence, a recommendation, the alternatives and the exact decision needed from you.
Every board decision tracked with an owner, a due date and proof from the data that it was done.
Figures are reconciled to the ledger and signed off by management before they are published to the board.
The full pack in, a short brief out: what matters, the key risks, and the questions worth asking in the room.
Notes and minutes turned into clear actions, owners and deadlines, fed straight into the commitment ledger.
Board papers, strategy documents and decks drafted in your voice and structure, ready for you to refine.
Proof before a claim. A draft or an acknowledgment isn't a result. Nothing is marked done without evidence the outcome happened, and what's been tested is always kept separate from what's still being set up.
