Book a 30-minute assessment
If you've landed here, you've probably already read enough of the Intelligence Brain pages to know whether it's relevant to your firm. The next step is a 30-minute call with me directly. Not a sales rep, not a partner — me. I run the discovery calls myself because I want to hear the actual problem in your own words, and because I'd rather rule something out early than waste anyone's afternoon.
I'm Michael English, founder and CTO of IMPT.io. I built the Intelligence Brain after twenty years inside Tesco, Dunnes Stores, and Oracle, watching regulated firms try to bolt generative AI onto stacks that were never designed to hold confidential data. The conversation I want to have with you is short, specific, and honest about what the product can and can't do.
What the 30 minutes actually covers
The call is structured, but it's not scripted. I'll ask you to walk me through three things:
- Where the data sits today. SharePoint, file shares, a document management system, a case management platform, email, or some combination. I need to understand the shape of it before I can tell you whether the Brain will help.
- What "good" looks like in twelve months. Faster client onboarding, fewer hours spent on internal research, audit-ready answers to regulator queries, a knowledge layer that survives staff turnover — pick one or pick several.
- The constraints. Regulator, jurisdiction, data residency, internal IT policy, budget envelope. The constraints usually decide the architecture, so I'd rather hear them at minute three than minute twenty-eight.
By the end of the call you'll have a straight answer to one question: is the Intelligence Brain a fit for your firm in the next two quarters, or not? If it isn't, I'll tell you. If it's a "maybe", I'll tell you what would need to change for it to become a "yes".
Who tends to book these calls
The people I speak to most often fall into a few patterns:
- Heads of operations or COOs at law firms, accountancy practices, or financial services firms who've been asked by a partner or board to "have a look at AI" and want a private deployment rather than a SaaS product.
- IT directors or CISOs who already have an AI policy on paper, but no sanctioned tool that staff can actually use without breaching it.
- Compliance leads who've watched a competitor get burned by something staff pasted into a public model and want to head off the same conversation internally.
- Founders or managing partners of mid-sized firms — fifty to five hundred people — who want a single intelligence layer rather than a dozen point tools.
If you're earlier than that — exploring, no budget, no mandate — that's fine, but it's probably worth reading the main Intelligence Brain overview first and coming back when you've got a clearer brief.
How to book
The fastest way is email. Send a short note to michael@impt.io with three things in it:
- The name of your firm and your role.
- One line on what you're trying to solve.
- Two or three time windows that work for you over the next ten working days.
I reply personally, usually within one working day. If I'm travelling or in a delivery week, my assistant will come back to you to pin down a time. Calls run on Microsoft Teams or Google Meet — your preference.
If you'd rather pick up the phone first, the office line in Clonmel is on the main IMPT.io site. I don't always answer it directly, but messages reach me the same day.
What happens after the call
If we agree there's a fit, the next step is a written summary from me — usually a one-page note covering scope, the deployment model I'd recommend (on-premise, private cloud, or hybrid), a rough timeline, and a rough cost band. That note is free and carries no obligation. It's there so you can take it to a partner, a board, or an IT steering group without having to translate a sales conversation into an internal paper.
If you want to go further after that, we move into a paid scoping engagement. That's a fixed-price piece of work that ends with a deployment plan you can act on, with or without me. I don't do open-ended retainers and I don't do procurement theatre.
A note on confidentiality
Anything you tell me on the assessment call stays between us. I'll sign an NDA before the call if your firm requires one — just send it across with your booking email. I won't reference your firm in case studies, on this site, or anywhere else without explicit written sign-off, and the default position is that I don't reference clients publicly at all.
What to do next
Two reasonable next steps depending on where you are:
- If you've read enough and you want the call, email michael@impt.io now with the three lines above.
- If you want more context on the product itself before booking, go back to the Intelligence Brain overview or read the vertical page closest to your firm — legal, financial services, or accountancy.
Either way, I'd rather hear from you sooner than later. The earlier I'm in the conversation, the more useful I can be.
