Work with CURN

AI advice and implementation, shaped around your firm.

For investment and advisory firms deciding where AI can help, putting a change into practice or building their team’s ability to use it well.

30 minutes. No preparation needed.

The shape follows the need.

A short advisory conversation, a defined implementation or a broader partnership can each be the right choice.

Advice and direction

Work through an AI decision, assess opportunities or choose between buying, configuring and building. The output may be a recommendation, a prioritised plan or a decision to leave something alone.

Implementation and selective builds

Redesign processes, configure existing software or build where the requirements justify it. Agree the deliverable, the people who will review it and the conditions it must meet.

Adoption and ongoing partnership

Help the team use, maintain and improve the change. Support can include practical learning, ownership and review, or a longer relationship across several priorities.

Specialist work, with judgement kept visible.

Investment firms

Investor questions, research reuse and committee preparation involve information that must remain accurate, traceable and controlled. Explore the situations and constraints.

Advisory firms

Proposals, credentials and client material need useful reuse without losing permissions, context or the judgement of the people delivering the work.

How delivery works

Discover opportunities, experiment with options, design the change, implement it and help the team learn to run it. See what gets reviewed at each stage.

Agree the commitment and the evidence.

Scope and fees

Scope, timing and price are agreed around the engagement. The proposal sets out deliverables, dependencies, any software costs and how changes to scope will be handled.

Responsibilities

CURN brings advice and implementation support. Your firm identifies the accountable owner, provides agreed access and decides who can approve outputs. Delivery roles, handover and ongoing maintenance belong in the scope.

Data and acceptance

Agree permitted material, tools and provider routes before processing client data. Define a useful result and the checks required to accept it. Read our current trust and security statements.

Hear what people took from the work.

Before the first conversation

  • What kind of work does CURN take on?

    Advisory, implementation, selective builds, adoption support and longer-term partnership for investment and advisory firms. The scope can cover a decision, a process, a team or a broader programme.

  • Who will I work with?

    CURN is led by James Kerr, CEO. You’ll speak directly with the people who’d do the work. Delivery responsibilities and any specialist involvement are agreed as part of the scope.

  • Do you need to replace the AI tools you already use?

    No. CURN works across the tools you already use and builds new technology only when that is the sensible answer.

  • How long could the first engagement take?

    Timing follows the work. We agree the scope, timing and price before beginning, then keep the boundary visible as the work progresses.

  • How is an engagement priced?

    Around the engagement, not the seat. We agree scope and price up front, so you know the commitment before beginning.

Start with the problem.

Bring a decision, a process or a broader ambition. You’ll speak directly with the people who’d do the work, about the problem and whether CURN is the right fit.
