We've worked with enough operators in Gladstone to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI fraud detection project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
For Gladstone operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.

Where Gladstone operators actually lose hours.
- Gladstone is heavy industry - LNG, alumina and one of the biggest ports in the country, which sets an industrial compliance bar every supplier has to clear.
- LNG trains, alumina refining, a major bulk port and a large industrial contracting sector. Safety documentation and supplier prequalification are the single largest admin load for local businesses.
We work with teams across Gladstone: Gladstone CBD · Calliope · Boyne Island · Tannum Sands · Clinton.

How we build AI fraud detection for a Gladstone team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Gladstone business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI fraud + anomaly.

FAQ
When does AI fraud detection actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Gladstone - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI fraud detection engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Gladstone businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Has this actually shipped for a real Gladstone?
Yes. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI fraud detection can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
