Clarity, Speed, and Senior Thinking
Vindico Labs offers a small number of focused services designed to help organisations think clearly, move quickly, and reduce risk at critical moments.
These services use the same thinking, tools and experience we apply to our own ventures — made available in structured, paid engagements. No fluff. No long commitments. Just clarity.
Talk to UsThe Same Thinking We Use Internally
Vindico Labs exists to explore, prototype and build new software ventures. Along the way, we repeatedly solve hard early-stage problems:
- What is actually worth building?
- Where does AI help, and where does it not?
- Are systems and data even ready?
- What decisions are high risk?
- What should be avoided entirely?
Our services make that thinking available externally — without dragging organisations into long projects before they are ready.
Focused, Time-Boxed, Senior
We currently offer three services. All are:
AI & Tech Discovery Sprints
Clear thinking, fast.
A short, structured engagement designed to help organisations understand where technology and AI genuinely add value — and where they don't. No hype. No build. Just clarity.
What you get:
- • Clear written summary
- • Practical recommendations
- • Priority areas worth exploring
- • Areas to avoid
- • Sensible next steps
Timescale: 2–4 weeks
AI-Ready System Reviews
Before you add intelligence, make sure the foundations are sound.
A structured review of your systems, data and integrations to assess whether AI is realistic, safe and worthwhile.
What you get:
- • Clear written assessment
- • AI readiness scorecard
- • Strengths and weaknesses
- • Realistic opportunities
- • Recommended next steps
Fixed price, short engagement
CTO as a Service
Senior technical leadership, without permanent headcount.
Access experienced technical thinking when you need it, without long-term commitment. Advisory, not delivery. Senior input and judgement.
What you get:
- • Better decisions
- • Reduced technical risk
- • Clearer direction
- • Calm, experienced input
Monthly retainer, limited clients
What These Services Are Not
To be clear, these services are not:
They are designed to be contained, valuable and decisive.
Simple, Direct, and Transparent
Initial conversation
Fit check and scope confirmation
Fixed engagement
Clear outputs
Optional next steps
We are comfortable stopping once clarity is achieved. You can take outputs forward with us, with another partner, or internally.
Two Different Modes
Services
- • External organisations
- • Paid, structured engagements
- • Focused on clarity and risk reduction
- • 0–4 week timescales
Ventures
- • Internal or partner-led ideas
- • Prototypes and platforms
- • Long-term exploration
- • Structured phases (Prototype to MVP to Live)
Services support Labs. Ventures define it.
Limited by Design
We keep capacity deliberately limited to ensure:
If availability is tight, we'll say so.
Start With Clarity
If one of these services feels relevant, the best place to start is a short conversation.
