AI Diagnostic & Delivery

Find where AI is actually worth it in your business. Put a £ value on it. Rank what to do first. Then build the bits that matter — and ignore the rest.

What is AI Diagnostic & Delivery?

AI Diagnostic & Delivery is SH Applications’ primary consulting product. Founder Steven Hallissey FCA (ex-CFO, Reading UK) runs a plain conversation about your business — not a tech pitch — then maps day-to-day workflows, finds friction (copy-paste, chasing info, the same emails again), scores each opportunity for value, feasibility and risk, and hands you a do now / do next / do later plan plus a list of things not worth automating. Delivery is optional: we can build the priority items with the same AI-assisted approach used on our own products.

What we actually do

  • Understand your business first Goals, customers, team, systems and biggest frustrations. No jargon — a conversation about how you work and where things slow you down.
  • Map the day-to-day workflows We look for repetitive manual work, copying data between systems, chasing information, report-building, the same emails again and again, and anything that takes time but adds little value.
  • Put a £ on the opportunity Every recommendation includes time saved, cost savings, potential revenue impact, implementation effort, and risk & complexity. Clear numbers. Clear business case.
  • Prioritise what to do first We score value, feasibility and risk so you get a ranked list of what will deliver the biggest impact, fastest — not a laundry list of shiny tools.
  • Hand you a practical plan Do now (days/weeks), do next, do later — plus things that are not worth automating. Clarity over more tech.
  • Optional delivery When you want the work done, we build and ship the priority automations and apps. Same stack and discipline we use on LeadBlitz, ClearMTD and TotTrack.

Who it is for

  • Founders, MDs and ops leads You can feel the friction but do not want another unused SaaS subscription or a thick strategy PDF nobody opens.
  • UK SMEs and service businesses Professional services, trade and commercial ops teams that live in email, spreadsheets and half-connected systems.
  • Leaders who want ROI language Time, cost, risk and cashflow first — AI is the tool, not the goal. Led by an FCA and former CFO, not a pure tech pitch.

What you walk away with

  • Know exactly what to automate and why
  • Understand the £ value it will create
  • A practical plan to get started and see results
  • Confidence on what to ignore — so budget and attention stay focused

Outcome in plain English: your business running better, with AI that works for you — not the other way around.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is this just a sales pitch for software? No. The diagnostic often ends with a short list of things not to buy or automate. If a simple process change beats a tool, we will say so.
  • Do I have to use you for delivery? No. You can take the plan to your team or another supplier. Many clients ask us to build the do-now items because we already know the context.
  • How long does a diagnostic take? Typically a focused conversation plus structured follow-up — measured in days, not a multi-month transformation programme.
  • How is this different from a generic AI workshop? We score real opportunities in your workflows with pounds and risk attached, and we ship software when you want delivery. Workshop slides alone are not the product.
