The accelerators.
One path to production.

Every AI opportunity in your business — scored, ranked and costed — on a live dashboard you own.

Feed in your strategy, architecture, economics and the conversations your teams are already having. A swarm of specialised agents reads it all and hands back 100+ scored opportunities — each a full AI Product Canvas covering the problem, the value across cost, efficiency, productivity, revenue and profit, the technology and data required, a phased delivery plan and the risks mapped to your own policies. A value-versus-cost heatmap separates the quick wins from the flagships, and you keep it all as a living tool: ask it questions in plain English, add a new idea and it re-scores and re-runs the dependencies automatically — in days, up to 95% faster than a traditional assessment.

Delivered for Downing and other clients, on real interviews and workshops across the business.

See exactly where you stand against your peers on AI, before you spend a penny.

The AI Maturity Explorer scores you across six themes — strategy and leadership, people and talent, data and technology, deployment, governance and culture — and overlays the competitors you actually worry about on the same axes, giving you a single band from Nascent to Leading. It doesn't stop at a score: it models the cheapest path to the next band and ranks the specific moves that shift you fastest. Generative BI is built in, so you can interrogate the whole comparison in plain English and get a grounded answer and a chart on demand.

Find out if your data can actually carry AI, before you build on sand.

We assess whether your data, technology, people, process and governance are ready to deliver AI safely, across every dimension, and hand back a prioritised list of what to fix first — not a maturity wheel.

Ask your own data anything, in plain English — with your permissions intact.

We put a semantic layer over your existing data estate so your people can query it in natural language, inside your AI tools or through an MCP or CLI interface. Access controls and lineage stay exactly where they are (Entra ID, Purview, Collibra, Ataccama) — trusted, queryable data in days, without re-platforming anything.

Plug into the enterprise platforms you already run — in days, not months.

Pre-built connectors for the platforms you depend on, such as RELEX and Dayforce, with automated data checking, transformation and scripting. Integration stops being the backlog that quietly kills every pilot.

From prototype to production line — a factory for shipping AI safely.

A build layer, effectively CI/CD for AI, that runs every asset through a disciplined lifecycle on your own systems — Frame, Design, Build, Test, Review, Publish. Nothing skips a stage: each asset is evaluated against a golden set, cleared through explicit governance gates, then published, versioned and monitored. Every asset leaves with an IQ Passport — owner, risk class, data class, evidence and evaluation scores, model versions and review date — a record that travels with it into IQ Exchange for reuse and IQ Control Tower for oversight.

For the drawer full of prototypes that never reach production.

Takes a prototype to a live, secured production application on your own hyperscaler — Azure, Google Cloud or AWS — with single sign-on and your chosen architecture. A repeatable path to production in days, not a fresh infrastructure project every time.

One trusted, branded front door to AI for everyone in your organisation.

A governed, brand-skinned workspace that sits over the systems your people already use. They ask in plain language and get a grounded, cited answer drawn only from the sources they're permitted to see, packaged the way their role needs it — a number, a chart, a short brief. Where you want it to, it also acts: writing back into the CRM, raising the ticket, drafting the reply, so the answer and the next action live in one place. Because it inherits identity and access from your governed foundation, everyone sees only what their permissions allow — and shadow AI fades because the sanctioned tool is the better one.

Total command of your AI — who's using what, what it costs, what it returns, and where the risk sits.

A live command centre that aggregates every prompt, asset, agent and workflow into one view a COO or CFO can steer with. It shows where AI is moving a number the business already reports on — by individual, team and project, reconciled to your finance actuals — not activity for its own sake. Because every asset carries its IQ Passport and every action is logged, it checks activity against your own policies automatically and escalates breaches to the right manager, and the AI board where needed, with the whole trail in an Evidence Log for audit. Governance stops being a brake and becomes a dashboard.

Built and in use inside Inference Group.

Turn your whole workforce into confident AI builders, one certified level at a time.

A five-level certification ladder — Aware, Practitioner, Champion, Builder, Lead — where every level ends in a real workplace capstone and a verifiable credential, so people prove they can apply AI to their actual job. Everyone starts with a diagnostic that places them on the ladder; then an AI coach, grounded in your own systems, serves the exact training for their role and supports them to each capstone. Completion ties into a certified pathway that governs who is allowed to do what and unlocks real capability — more tools in IQ Hub, the right to build in IQ Studio — with your existing internal and external training pulled into one place.

Build it once, reuse it everywhere — safely.

A governed catalogue that turns scattered, private work into a shared, searchable library of AI assets. Every asset travels with its IQ Passport — owner, risk class, data class, evidence, version and review date — so reuse becomes a governed transaction rather than a leap of faith. Access is gated by identity, team and the training each person has completed in IQ Pathways, so people reuse only what they're cleared to — through IQ Hub, an API, a workflow or a BI tool. Each time an asset is used and improved it's hardened and republished, so the second deployment starts most of the way there and the tenth is cheaper still.
