Evidence, not sampling.
Recommendations have usually rested on a slice of the business — a sample of documents, a round of interviews. Ours rest on the whole of it: every document, dataset and transcript, taken together.
Consulting built
for the AI era.
We operate a fundamentally different model. Lean, efficient and entirely client focused, with deep expertise in delivering value from artificial intelligence.
PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Experiments everywhere, little to show for it.
A mandate without a plan.
AI is on the board agenda. What's missing is the plan — where it creates value, what it costs, and what has to be true first.
Governance that hasn't caught up.
Your people are already using AI, sanctioned or not. Without settled rules on data and use, you carry the risk without the return.
Tools everywhere. Systems nowhere.
Assistants make individuals faster. Business-level returns come from processes redesigned with AI at the core — systems, not licences.
Technology without the judgement.
Value isn't realised at deployment. It's realised by people with the capability and judgement to run the system and improve it — in your organisation, not a vendor's.
A different model
No pyramid to fund.
Proven on our business before it reaches yours.
We know what stalls before you spend.
We build your capability, not your dependence.
Consulting sells senior judgement and delivers junior execution. The pyramid exists to fund the firm, not serve the client. We don't carry it: a small senior team, working with agents, does the work directly — at lower cost, without the dilution.
Benefits- Senior depth without the big-team bill
- Efficient and lean, no legacy model to carry
- Shorter time to value, focus on efficiency of outcome
We have tried and tested every tool and platform we recommend. Our business is agentic in nature — AI runs our research, synthesis and production, and keeps us current as the tools and platforms change. That gives us a uniquely clear insight into what works and what doesn't, learned from being practitioners, not from theory.
Benefits- Insights from practitioners, not theorists
- Up to the minute technical knowledge, first hand
- Bias to action, working prototypes over documentation
We've led through platform shifts before, and encoded that experience into how the studio delivers. It's what lets us separate signal from noise, and know what lands in a real organisation from what stalls.
Benefits- Fewer expensive dead-ends
- Signal separated from hype, so you back the right bets
- No one learning on your budget
Traditional consultancy looks for long-term engagements. We look for the fastest route to value — and build the capability in your teams: the systems, the patterns, and the judgement to run them.
Benefits- Gains that hold, because your team owns them
- Your team runs it — and can build the next one
- One coherent plan across the business, not scattered pilots
Built differently
01 02 03 04
Delegated intelligence. Concentrated judgement.
AltCo runs on our own agentic platform. Agents execute the intelligence work — research, synthesis, production — and our people make the calls that determine the outcome. What that means for you:
Connections that sit between departments.
Holding your whole context at once surfaces what no single team can see from inside it — and every finding is cited back to its source, so you can check the working.
Thinking you can stress-test.
When a working prototype costs little more than a slide, you don't get one recommendation to accept or reject — you get options you can test before you commit.
The analysis never goes stale.
The work stays live as your business moves — new information updates the picture, so decisions are made on today's facts, not on a snapshot from six weeks ago.
And nothing reaches you without a named person who stands behind it.
The people

Hooper
Over a decade scaling digital businesses. As SVP EMEA at CI&T (NYSE: CINT) and Chief Client Officer at Somo before its acquisition, he ran transformation programmes for Audi, HSBC and E.ON, and helped launch cinch — now a UK unicorn. His read is commercial: where value sits, and what it takes to deliver it when the work is built AI-native, not bolted on.

Graham
Powell-Wood
A design leader and founding member of Deloitte Digital, then Creative Director at Somo and across EMEA at CI&T — growing the design team from five to thirty and leading work for clients and partners including Audi, Lloyds, Vodafone and Apple. His ability to translate design intent into problems solved through technology has positioned him to help clients master the value potential of AI.

Carl
Uminski
A founder and operator who has run businesses, not advised them. He co-founded and led Somo to its acquisition by CI&T, was one of its seven global partners, and built cinch into a UK unicorn — with earlier leadership at Yahoo! and exits including SwiftKey to Microsoft. Work for Goldman Sachs, Vanguard, Audi and Coca-Cola behind him, he brings the view from the seat that owns the P&L.

Interested in joining us?
We're early. Partner and practitioner conversations matter at this stage. If you're a commercial or delivery partner whose work might overlap with ours, or an AI practitioner who wants to build at the frontier rather than commentate on it — say hello on LinkedIn, or get in touch at hello@altco.io.
Foundations
Everything is built on a core set of founding principles.
Let's talk.
Bring the problem. We'll tell you straight whether we can help, how, and how fast.
