About

A small, senior team that fixes the bit in between.

Opta6 is a UK consultancy. We get AI pilots that worked but never went live into production and daily use, and leave your team able to do the next one.

Why this offer exists

The pilot works. Then it stops.

We've spent our careers in the kind of organisation where AI pilots now get stuck: regulated, multi-entity businesses with real data, real risk committees and real legacy systems.

The pattern is the same. The demo goes well, then the pilot stops, for reasons that have little to do with the model. The requirement can't be tested, the data isn't ready, nobody can build it, risk can't approve it, nobody owns it, or nobody uses it.

Those are architecture, delivery and change problems. They're the problems we've spent 25 years solving, so that's the work we do.
