Have your say

Help us build what matters to you

Tell us which AI readiness problems are real for your organisation. The quick pulse takes about two minutes, and it is open to everyone, whether or not you join the founding beta.

Your answers are completely confidential. We use what you tell us only to shape Loyston. We never share individual answers, and any summary we produce uses only combined, anonymised results. Everyone who takes part can receive the summary report. See our Privacy Policy.

Quick pulse

How much does each of these matter to you? Skip any you are unsure about.

Strategy & value

1Show our board how every AI investment backs the strategy, and what it is returning

Leadership asks whether AI spend supports the business plan, and the evidence takes weeks to pull together.

Demand & capacity

2One always-current view of every AI workload we run, and the demand that is coming

AI is spread across teams and providers, so nobody knows the total demand or what is on its way.

Cost & performance

3Know the true cost of AI today, and stop month-end surprises

AI costs are spread across invoices and budgets, so finance cannot see the real number until it is too late.

Sites & resilience

4Decide where each workload should live, with privacy and service needs agreed up front

Hosting is chosen on price alone, and privacy or service issues are found after go-live.

Value recovery & sustainability

5Put what we already own to work before we buy more

New capacity gets bought while existing investments and hardware sit idle or are written off.

Decisions & governance

6Keep AI decisions moving, visible and in line with our goals and policy

Decisions stall in email, or breach policy without anyone noticing until later.

Learning from peers

7Learn quickly from what is working for organisations like ours

AI changes so fast that it is hard to know what good looks like, and lessons from peers arrive too late to help.

How you'd like to work with us

8Get answers from the experts where we already work: Teams, Slack, email or review sessions

Waiting for meetings slows decisions, and a separate portal is one more place to check.

That's it. You can send now, or carry on below.

Leave your details if you would like the summary report, or if you are interested in the BETA. Otherwise, skip this step.

Step 3 · Optional

Interested in the BETA?

We are working with a limited number of founding beta clients on focused, fixed-scope projects. These questions help us understand your priorities and aims before we talk. Someone from our team will reach out to you promptly.

Strategy & value

9Know how ready each site is for AI, with a prioritised roadmap showing time and cost

Readiness is judged by opinion, so gaps surface late and plans are lists with no clear order.

10Build a credible business case for new AI capacity quickly

Business cases are slow to build, hard to compare and slow to get approved.

Demand & capacity

11Early warning before demand outgrows our capacity, with options ready to go

Shortfalls are spotted only when workloads slow down, then options are found from scratch.

12A fair, vendor-neutral comparison of where to add capacity, without getting locked in

Choices default to one vendor, and lock-in quietly limits future choice and bargaining power.

Cost & performance

13Keep AI costs down continually, without slowing the business

Cost and speed get reviewed now and then, so savings are missed in between and commitments are over- or under-bought.

14Handle seasonal or project peaks without delays or paying for idle capacity

Peaks cause delays, or we over-buy capacity that sits unused most of the year.

15Stay in control of AI cost and capacity by using a mix of hosted AI suppliers

Relying on one supplier leaves us exposed on price and availability, and juggling several feels hard to manage.

Sites & resilience

16Have a tested recovery plan for business-critical AI

AI workloads often have no recovery plan, so outages last longer than the business can bear.

17Be confident a site's power, cooling, network and safety are ready before hardware arrives

Physical limits block AI growth after the money has already been spent.

Value recovery & sustainability

18Recover value from spare capacity and waste heat

Committed or owned capacity sits idle, and heat from AI hardware is a cost instead of an asset.

19Measure and report the energy and carbon impact of our AI

AI energy and carbon go unmeasured, putting sustainability and ESG targets at risk.

20Run more AI on the spare infrastructure, power and network capacity we already have

We pay for space, power and connectivity across our sites that sits unused while AI work queues up elsewhere.

Decisions & governance

21Show the evidence behind past AI decisions, and learn from how they turned out

When the board, an auditor or a regulator asks, the evidence cannot be found, and mistakes repeat.

How you'd like to work with us

22One shared place for current outputs, with live dashboards for executive and finance updates

Outputs are scattered across email attachments, and reports are built by hand and out of date on arrival.

23Make it easy to share our data, and keep things up to date automatically through connectors

Data requests are unclear and updates are manual, so projects drag and information goes stale.
