In short
How do I contact Thomas about a project or a suitable role?
Choose a project or contract-role enquiry in the form below. For a project, describe the process, problem and useful outcome. For a role, include the responsibilities, weekly commitment, duration and remote arrangements. Thomas considers remote UK projects and part-time contracts of up to three days a week, and reviews every enquiry personally. Details are used to assess and respond to the enquiry, not added to a marketing list. A short fit call is free; detailed project discovery and scoping are paid work.
Project fit
What makes a good project brief?
You do not need a finished specification. A clear problem, current process and desired change are enough to begin.
For a role enquiry, start with my experience and working arrangements. Use the contract-role option below for responsibilities, weekly commitment and duration.
A named sponsor
Someone with the authority to provide access, make decisions and own the result internally.
Access to the work
The relevant people, process and data needed to understand what is actually happening.
A willingness to evaluate
Clear acceptance criteria and evidence before a pilot is scaled.
Enquiry
What should I include in the brief?
Describe the problem and the change you need. I review every enquiry personally. You will not be added to a marketing list.
What happens next
What happens after I get in touch?
The first conversation is for deciding whether the problem, scope and working model fit.
I review the enquiry
I review the business problem or role responsibilities, the proposed work and the working arrangements.
We test the fit
If it looks right, I suggest a short introductory call. If it does not, I say so.
Project discovery is paid work
For projects, detailed diagnosis, workflow mapping, evaluation design and scoping are valuable paid outputs. Role enquiries start with a conversation about fit.
Agree the working model
Project proposals name the scope, responsibilities, acceptance criteria and handover. For roles, the conversation establishes responsibilities, weekly commitment and duration.
Questions
Before you send the brief.
A few practical answers about calls, pricing, recruiters and confidentiality.
Do I need a finished specification?
No. A clear problem, current process and desired change are enough to begin. A useful brief describes a recurring workflow, decision, reporting issue or adoption challenge that matters to the business, names someone with the authority to own the result, and confirms access to the relevant people, process and data.
Is the introductory call free?
A short fit call is free. Detailed diagnosis, discovery and scoping are paid work, because workflow mapping, evaluation design and scoping are valuable project outputs in their own right. Thomas reviews every brief himself, suggests a call if the fit is right, and says so plainly if it is not.
How are projects priced?
Diagnostics and pilots use a defined fixed scope. Fractional work is scoped around responsibility, duration and weekly commitment. Every proposal states what Thomas owns, what the client provides, the acceptance criteria and the handover, so the price is attached to a named scope rather than an open-ended engagement.
Should I include confidential information?
No. Describe the type of constraint only. Data handling, access and system boundaries are agreed before detailed material is shared. Your brief is sent securely to a private enquiry CRM and personal mailbox, and it is used only to assess and respond to the enquiry.
Can recruiters contact you?
Yes, for remote UK projects or part-time contracts of no more than three days a week. I am not considering full-time roles. Fractional AI systems leadership is the right shape for teams that need senior AI ownership without making a full-time hire. Send a contract role.
Direct route
Prefer to write the email yourself?
Include your company, the current problem, what needs to change, the timeframe and the likely investment range.
I review project enquiries personally. Enquiry details go into my private CRM for follow-up and business records, never into an XO3D system or a marketing list.
