// Independent data & AI consultancy · Manchester

Data first.
Everything else is a
tooling decision.

You're being asked for an AI plan while the market reinvents itself every six months. What doesn't change is this: businesses with solid data foundations absorb each wave and get stronger, while businesses that bolt AI onto a shaky estate pay for the same transformation twice. I help you establish which one you are before the money is spent.

/ About Mimir

Mimir is an independent data & AI consultancy in Manchester. The name belongs to the Norse keeper of the well of wisdom, and that's more or less the job: know what's true about your data before you build on top of it.

Tooling is a decision you should be able to remake cheaply; your data architecture is the thing you have to get right. Get the foundation sound and the market's constant reinvention starts working in your favour.

I'm independent, not tied to any platform, vendor, or delivery practice, so the findings answer to your business rather than to what someone needs to sell you next.

I work best with leadership teams weighing a significant data or AI decision: organisations with a substantial data estate who want the case established before committing to a platform, a programme, or a partner.

Data first

Foundations before capabilities. The roadmap puts the structural work first, because everything interesting stands on it.

Independent

No reseller margins, no delivery arm waiting for phase two. If I recommend a tool, it's because it fits.

Traceable

Every recommendation points back to something found in your business during the audit. None of it is lifted from a framework.

02

/ Services

Most engagements start with the same question: will what you've built carry what you're planning? The audit answers it.

Delivery Support

The report is written so your own team can deliver the roadmap. Where clients want continued support, I stay involved directly or introduce trusted specialist partners. In either case the roadmap, and the independence it was built on, remain yours.

  • Hands-on or advisory
  • Trusted specialist partners
  • Vendor selection & oversight

Speaking & Panels

I talk about data strategy, AI readiness, and what goes wrong in between, on stages and around tables. If you're putting an event together, I'd like to hear about it.

  • Talks & keynotes
  • Panels & round tables
  • Workshops & private briefings
