## Curator assessment
Reviewed 2026-09-04 by Gabor Kiss against published evidence.

One of four published case studies involves AI: a speech-recognition tool built for Box Clever Digital's Thrive project that transcribes volunteer phone calls with isolated people and tracks sentiment through IBM Watson and AWS, which is live and helped the client win £500,000 in further funding.

The other three—an e-consent platform in Ruby and Angular, an Angular upgrade for an audio-production platform, and an Electron and Flutter video-consultation tool for Substrakt Health—are software delivery with no machine learning described.

The domain says AI; the portfolio says a competent Birmingham software house that has shipped one AI feature and names the client for it.

The weaker fit is a brief where the model is the product: nothing published shows model selection, evaluation or retraining, and delivery is priced at €20–40/h with an offshore development center in the mix, so ask who writes the code.

### Key strengths
- Sixteen years as a Birmingham entity working out of STEAMhouse, with Birmingham City University, Cezanne HR and the Royal Wolverhampton Hospital on the client wall
- €20–40/h, for buyers whose brief is a build with an AI component rather than a model program
- The Thrive study is explicit that human transcription sits behind the API as a fallback, so the reliability design is stated rather than implied

### Good to know
- The AI case study was last updated in 2024—ask for a post-2024 LLM-era engagement with a reference before treating current positioning as delivery history
- No headcount, team page or named engineers are published—confirm who staffs your project and which part sits offshore
- Healthcare and industrial research are listed as verticals, but the published health work is app delivery rather than clinical AI—clarify the regulatory experience if your brief is a medical device
