We've worked with enough protective services teams to know the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any project here is sit with the team for a day before we propose anything.

Where AI is landing
Adoption is already ahead of the curve — Australia sits at 4.11× expected AI usage (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026). The teams that win turn that into one concrete, in-production workflow rather than a demo.

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

What changes for Protective Services after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Adoption is already ahead of the curve — Australia sits at 4.11× expected AI usage (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026).

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI take to ship for Protective Services?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Protective Services data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price AI 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 Protective Services are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using AI?
Plenty. Adoption is already ahead of the curve — Australia sits at 4.11× expected AI usage (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026). The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Draft reports and summaries sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
