Woke Up With an AI Hangover?
You invested in AI automation. Maybe you hired a big consultancy. Maybe you bought expensive software. But it's not working the way you were promised. Your team doesn't trust it. Your clients are frustrated. And you're wondering if you've just wasted a lot of money.
You haven't. You just need someone who can fix it. That's what I do.
You're Not Alone. This Happens More Than You Think.
I've spent 10+ years watching companies waste millions on AI projects that never delivered results. Big consultancies sell impressive demos that fall apart in real use. Software vendors promise transformation but deliver complexity. And businesses like yours are left holding the bag.
The good news? Most broken implementations can be fixed. And often, you can recover 50-80% of your original investment's value. You just need someone who understands what went wrong and knows how to make it right.
The Expensive Shelfware
You bought expensive AI software. Your team tried to use it. But it's too complicated, doesn't fit your workflows, and now it's just sitting there unused whilst you're still paying for it.
The Consultancy Dependency
A big consultancy built you something impressive. But now they're gone, nobody on your team understands how it works, and you're stuck paying them every time something breaks or needs changing.
The Automation Theatre
It looked great in the demo. But in real use, it creates more work than it saves. Your team is spending hours fixing its mistakes, and you're wondering why you bothered.
The Black Box
It's doing... something. But nobody can explain how it works, what it's actually doing, or whether you can defend it to your regulator. And that keeps you up at night.
The Integration Nightmare
It was supposed to connect everything. Instead, it's created data silos, broken workflows, and your team is working around it rather than with it.
The Overpromised, Underdelivered
They promised 80% time savings. You're seeing maybe 10%. They promised seamless integration. You've got manual workarounds. They promised ROI in 6 months. It's been 18 months and you're still waiting.
Sound familiar? I've seen all of these. And I've fixed all of these. No judgment. Just practical solutions.
How We Fix Broken AI
Every recovery starts with understanding what went wrong and why. Then we fix it. Here's how it works:
The Recovery Assessment
- Audit your current implementation
- Interview your team (what's not working for them?)
- Review original promises vs. actual results
- Identify root causes (technical, process, or adoption issues)
- Assess what's salvageable and what needs rebuilding
Deliverable: Recovery Roadmap with honest assessment and fix recommendations
The Fix Plan
- Design practical fixes for identified issues
- Simplify overcomplicated systems
- Remove consultancy dependencies
- Add governance and transparency (The Pattrn Protocol)
- Create adoption plan for your team
Deliverable: Detailed fix plan with timeline and costs
Implementation
- Fix technical issues and integration problems
- Simplify workflows and remove unnecessary complexity
- Add documentation and explainability
- Train your team properly (not just 'here's how to use it')
- Implement The Pattrn Protocol for ongoing governance
Deliverable: Working, transparent, defensible AI implementation
Handover & Support
- Complete knowledge transfer (no dependencies)
- Documentation your team can actually use
- 30-day post-fix support included
- Optional Governance Retainer for ongoing monitoring
Deliverable: Self-sufficient team with working automation
Why This Works When the Original Didn't
Human-Centred, Not Technology-Led
I start with your team and your workflows, not with what's technically impressive. If it doesn't work for real humans doing real work, it doesn't work.
Transparent, Not Black Box
Every fix follows The Pattrn Protocol. You'll understand how it works. Your team will understand how it works. Your regulator will understand how it works. No more black boxes.
Practical, Not Perfect
I'm not trying to build the most sophisticated system. I'm trying to build something that actually works and makes your life easier. Sometimes that means simpler, not smarter.
No Dependencies
When I'm done, you own it. Your team can maintain it. You're not dependent on me or anyone else for basic changes. That's the point.
Governance Built In
Every implementation gets The Pattrn Protocol governance framework. Audit trails. Risk management. Compliance monitoring. Because you need to sleep at night.
Investment & Expected Returns
Every situation is different, so pricing is custom based on scope. But here's what to expect:
Small Fixes
2-4 weeks
- Targeted fixes for specific issues
- Single system or workflow
- Team training included
Medium Recovery
4-6 weeks
- Multiple systems or workflows
- Integration fixes included
- Full governance implementation
Major Rebuild
6-8 weeks
- Complete system overhaul
- Remove consultancy dependencies
- Full team training and handover
What Determines Cost
Expected ROI
Most clients recover 50-80% of their original investment's value within 6-12 months. Plus, you'll finally have something that works and that you can defend to your regulator.

Is AI Hangover Recovery Right for You?
Perfect If...
- You have AI/automation that's not delivering promised results
- Your team doesn't trust or use the system you invested in
- You're stuck in a consultancy dependency
- You have expensive software sitting unused
- You can't explain how your AI works to your regulator
- You're seeing more work, not less, from your automation
- You want to recover your investment, not write it off
Not Right If...
- You're starting fresh (see AI Risk & Efficiency Audit instead)
- Your implementation is working well (see Governance Retainers instead)
- You're not ready to invest in fixing it properly
- You want someone to blame rather than someone to fix it
