1. 90% accuracy often brings no value
2. The Easy Way vs The Hard Way in AI
3. Why “Bikeshedding” kills so many AI projects

📉 Progress in July - mixed signals 📈
Our metrics from July are…

Method customers: 2 (+1)
Total customers: 4 (-1)
Monthly Revenue: £56.3k (-£19.8k)
Team Size (proxy for cost): 5 (-)

We completed the pilot with one of our customers and have moved on to a longer-term deal to continue developing their AI projects using our Methodology. This was our primary goal for the month, so was a big win!

We also successfully finished up a second pilot. We’re still negotiating a longer-term deal so we won’t yet mark that as a “Method customer”.

Another customer moved down to a maintenance contract, which has impacted MoM revenue.

New business has been a little slower for the last few months. We’ve just started working with a marketing agency to sharpen our positioning and improve top of funnel.

We’re also starting to pitch an entry-level offering, which we’re calling “lightning projects”, where we focus solely on building AI (and not custom system integrations, which adds significant time/cost to projects):

• Lower pricing for customers - shorter sales cycles, delivers quick wins, clear upgrade pathway to full engagements

• Faster learning for Artanis - allows us to focus solely on AI (and not software engineering) to maximise learnings on our tool/methodology

If this appeals to you or someone you know then get in touch! 

🏹 Goal for August 🏹
Grow method customers from 2 to 3. Sign one lightning project customer.
