What changes when it is automotive
Licence and cloud contracts are where money hides. A contract review routinely finds spend nobody has examined in three years, and that alone often covers the engagement.
In automotive, tier-one supply chains demand traceability on every part and every process. That single fact reshapes how it has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is telematics analytics, usually integrated against ERP. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions from this sector
Can it inspect painted surfaces?
Yes, and paint defect detection is one of the harder vision problems, lighting control matters more than model choice. We assess your line conditions before committing to accuracy targets.
What about warranty fraud?
Pattern analysis across claims, parts and dealers surfaces anomalies for investigation, with explanations attached to each flag.
Do you resell any of the products you recommend?
No. We take no commission from any vendor, and we disclose any relationship that could colour a recommendation. That independence is the product.
Will you also implement it?
We can, and you are not obliged to use us. The advice stands alone, and we would rather you tested it against other quotes.
How long does an assessment take?
Two to four weeks for most organisations. Long enough to be thorough, short enough that findings are still current when you act.
