// How we work

Guide more than deliver.

Our first job is to coach your own people to ship the AI your business needs — sanctioned tooling, named owners, and a controls pattern they can reuse without us. We deliver hands-on only when you ask, and the price reflects it. Four principles run the work.

Guide-first.

Your team has had two years of training, frameworks, and decks. What's missing is shipping something real. So we coach your people to ship — and leave them the capability, not a dependency on us. Alvio-led delivery is the exception, and it's priced as one.

A named owner, every time.

Responsible AI starts with clear ownership: someone inside your organisation accountable for each AI capability, not a vendor. So every engagement starts with that named owner. They take part in the Spark Day, help shape the plan, run the build, and stay responsible for it long after we leave. Clear ownership is the foundation of good governance — and the load-bearing rule of the guide-first model.

A 90-day plan, agreed together.

Every Spark Day ends with a one-page plan: three picks, named owners, milestones, controls, and a measurement baseline — shaped together with your executive sponsor. Three picks, ninety days, one owner. No long proposal to wait on; you leave the day with a plan you can act on.

Controls built in.

Every capability ships with the platform's own controls — Microsoft Purview for data classification and DLP, Microsoft Defender for AI for threat protection, Microsoft Entra for identity and access. An AI use policy and the literacy training for EU AI Act Article 4 ship with the build, not as a separate workshop. The controls aren't bolted on afterwards — they're part of the build.

Not ready for an engagement?

Take a Spark Day first. Eight hours, on-site, fixed scope. By the end of the day your team has working prototypes in your tenant and a clear 90-day plan to take forward.
