About Excetra
Most organisations experience AI the wrong way.
Vendor hype cycles. Security teams flagging risks without solutions. Strategy decks disconnected from the work your team actually does.
The distance between "AI can transform your business" and "AI is transforming your business" is enormous. Most consultancies widen that gap. We close it.
The gap
The gap is real. The data proves it.
What Teams Experience
- 60% of organizations still stuck in experimenting or piloting (BCG, 2025)
- 95% of enterprise AI solutions fail to reach production with measurable P&L impact (MIT NANDA, "The GenAI Divide," July 2025)
- Training gap: 70% of companies have trained less than 1 in 4 of their workforce (BCG, 2025)
What this means: The promise is real. Implementation is broken. Your team doesn't lack AI tools. They have ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini. What they lack is methodology: systematic evaluation, security protocols, workflow documentation, realistic success metrics.
What changes
Same tools. Different outcomes.
The difference is methodology: evaluation, security protocols, workflow documentation, and realistic success metrics.
Without a method
- Pilots stall in committee.
- Use cases are picked without evaluation.
- Teams drift back to old workflows.
- ROI debates drag on because there was no baseline.
With the right method
- Pilots ship in 90 days.
- Use cases are evaluated before build.
- Workflows stick because they are documented.
- Teams measure 3–5 hours saved per week.
What we do
Training, advisory, and pilot partnerships.
We work with enterprise teams at three levels: education, strategy, and implementation support. Every engagement is founder-led.
Team Workshops
Half-day to two-day sessions. Your team's actual workflows, not toy examples. Outcome: 3-5 hours saved per employee per week.
Executive Briefings
Two-hour sessions for leadership. Current AI capabilities, risks, opportunities, and what your competitors are doing.
Pilot Partnerships
90-day engagements to take one use case from idea to production. We design, you build.
Strategic Advisory
Ongoing counsel for AI roadmap, vendor selection, governance frameworks, and evaluation design.
Our approach
Practitioners, not theorists.
We've Built What We Teach
We bring experience building production AI systems inside regulated financial institutions, focused on core workflows, not demos. We teach what we've shipped. The workflows we use daily.
Evidence Over Enthusiasm
Every ROI claim backed by research. Every framework tested in regulated environments. We start measuring time savings from week one, not quarter four.
AI Runs Our Business
Every proposal, deliverable, and research brief we produce uses the same AI workflows we teach. We're not advising from the sidelines. We're practitioners who use these tools daily.
Our philosophy
We're building an AI-native consultancy.
The commitment
Most consultancies use AI on the margins: drafting emails, cleaning up slides. We're doing something different. We're systematically rebuilding every function of our business around AI. Research. Analysis. Deliverable production. Client communication.
Why we run lean
Traditional consultancies charge premium rates to cover large teams, expensive offices, and layers of overhead. We've designed Excetra without most of that. Two founders. No office. AI handles the work that used to require junior staff. This is intentional.
What this means for clients
You get senior practitioners without the Big 4 markup. Deliverables come faster because we're not waiting on analyst cycles. And because we use these tools daily, not occasionally, we know what works in production versus what just demos well.
Where we're headed
Our goal is to run the entire company on AI. Human judgment stays central. Strategic decisions and client interactions come from founders with 2 decades of experience in regulated industries. The advice reflects that. Our methodology lets a small team deliver what used to require a much larger team. We want to offer enterprise-grade consulting at a price point that passes those gains through to clients.
This site is proof of concept.
We designed, animated, and wrote this website using our AI workflow. No agency. No contractors. Three weeks, £500.
| Component | Agency quote (UK) | Our cost |
|---|---|---|
| Design | £5-10K | AI-assisted |
| Development | £8-15K | Framer + AI |
| Copy | £2-5K | AI-assisted |
| Management | £2-5K | Self-managed |
| Total | £25,000 | ~£500 |
| Time | 8-12 weeks | 3 weeks |
*UK agencies typically charge £15,000-£30,000 for custom business websites (Media Village, ProfileTree, 2025). The £25,000 figure represents a typical quote for this scope.
If we can build a £25,000 website for £500, imagine what that approach means for your AI projects.
The team
Two founders. Senior delivery on every engagement.
No junior analysts. No offshore teams. No handoff after the sales call. When you work with Excetra, you work with people who've shipped real systems inside regulated industries.

Straight talk
The honest bit.
What we won't promise
- We can't make your organisation AI-native in six months.
- Some pilots will fail. That's information, not defeat.
- AI won't fix people problems or broken processes.
What we will do
- Get your team saving 3–5 hours per week within 30 days.
- Document workflows that actually stick.
- Build evaluation frameworks so you know what's working.
- Do it at a price that doesn't require board approval.
We're a small team. That means we're selective about engagements. We take on work where we can genuinely help, not work that just pays. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
We're not selling transformation. We're selling capability.
