YOU ARE THE INTELLIGENCE.IT IS THE ASSISTANT.
Mv32 Consulting helps SMEs and charities adopt AI without losing what makes them valuable — their judgment, their expertise, their humanity. I coach, I build bespoke software, and I'm developing PurposeSteward — governance software for the people who serve a purpose.
The IA Framework
Intelligent Augmentation by design, Intelligent Assistance in practice — same method, language for the room.
Most AI adoption fails because it starts with the tool, not the person. The IA Framework is my human-centred method for getting real, durable value from AI. It begins with a single question:
"You are the intelligence. So what do you want your assistant to do?"
You lead, it follows
Your expertise directs. The IA executes. Never outsource your thinking.
Brief it like a professional
The quality of the output reflects the quality of the brief.
Work in loops, not lines
Review, refine, redirect. The first output is a starting point.
Trust but verify
AI is confident even when wrong. You remain accountable.

How I work
I don't have case studies yet — Mv32 is new. What I do have is a repeatable way of working, refined across thirty-five years of delivery. Here is the shape of a typical engagement.

Indicative scope and investment
Every engagement is scoped on context. These are indicative shapes to give you a sense of fit before we speak.
2026 launch rates. Pricing through 2026 is introductory and below where it will settle from 2027 onwards. Engage now to work at launch prices through the end of the year.
Discovery call
- Duration
- 30 minutes
- Investment
- Free
- You walk away with
- A clear read on whether AI fits your context, what to do first if it does, and whether we're the right fit to work together. No pitch.
Leadership session
- Duration
- Two hours
- Investment
- Low
- You walk away with
- A leadership team aligned on what AI changes for your strategy, your people, and your governance — and a one-page agreed direction your board can stand behind.
IA Framework Workshop
- Duration
- Full day
- Investment
- Medium
- You walk away with
- A team of up to twelve trained in the IA Framework, three live AI use cases built together during the day, and a working method they can keep using on Monday. The flagship MV32 engagement — the framework applied directly to your team and your work.
Quick-win Discovery
- Duration
- Half a day, on site or remote
- Investment
- Low
- For
- Organisations exploring AI but not sure where to start
- You walk away with
- A short written report identifying the three highest-leverage AI use cases for your organisation — effort scored, value scored, and ranked so you know where to start. Focus is on where to apply AI, not which tool to use.
Microsoft 365 AI Decision Workshop
- Duration
- Half a day, on site or remote
- Investment
- Low to Medium
- For
- Organisations already invested in Microsoft 365 who want to make sense of their AI options before spending more

Limited to Microsoft 365 customers. A Google Workspace equivalent will follow when I have the depth to do it justice.
Claude Training — Foundations
- Duration
- Half day
- Investment
- Low
- You walk away with
- Your team confident using Claude on real work, a shared vocabulary for prompting and reviewing AI output, and three use cases identified for ongoing practice. Built around Anthropic's safety-first approach to AI assistance.
Bespoke software builds are scoped per project on fixed-price terms after a discovery phase. Investment: Medium to High.
What Mv32 isn't
- I am not a managed service. I help your people build the capability, then I step back.
- I do not sell licences for tools I haven't used myself.
- I do not replace your in-house IT or development function. I work alongside it.
- If a request doesn't fit, I will tell you and point you to someone who can help.
- I am applying for the Anthropic Claude Partner Network and use Claude daily. I will tell you when Microsoft Copilot is the right answer regardless — because for most M365 customers, it is the right primary investment, and Claude/Perplexity add specific capabilities where Copilot is weaker.
Who I'm building this for
Commercial SMEs
Organisations across technology, finance, HR, professional services, and the wider service sector — and the sectors I've delivered in across thirty-five years: retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, distribution, engineering, insurance, and oil and gas. AI adoption that compounds your team's expertise, not replaces it.
Charities and trusts
Mission-driven organisations that need to do more with less. PurposeSteward will be priced openly by charity income, so a small charity contributes a small share, and larger ones contribute fairly. Consultancy is scoped to fit the realities of charity life — and supplemented by a discounted-rate commitment for a small number of charities each year.
Simon Taylor, Founder.
Thirty-five years. One insight.
After thirty-five years in technology — IT management, software consultancy, Scrum delivery, ERP and CRM implementations — what I have is a toolbox. Patterns that work, patterns that don't, the judgement to tell which is which, and the experience to spot what isn't working before it costs you.
I've watched the same story play out every time a new technology arrives: the tool gets hyped, people get told to adapt, and the value never quite lands. AI is the most powerful technology I've worked with — and the one most prone to this pattern. So I built Mv32 around a simple inversion: people first, technology second. AI as an assistant, not a replacement.
That's not a slogan. It's a working method, and it's what I now coach, deliver, and build software around — at Mv32, working solo today and drawing in trusted associates for specific engagements.
That's my servant heart — and that's what Mv32 is for.
— Simon
