Sam Wall and Adam Gillett run a fixed £2,000, 14-day audit, then build what the evidence supports and stay until it runs in ordinary use. Call 0161 543 7189 or book a free fit call. By [Sam Wall](https://agmm.co.uk/about/sam-wall/) and [Adam Gillett](https://agmm.co.uk/about/adam-gillett/) Checked on 16 September 2026 [Book the free 30-minute fit call](https://agmm.co.uk/ai-constraint-audit/#book) [Call 0161 543 7189](tel:+441615437189) Registered in England, company 16384156. Based in Greater Manchester. On site across the boroughs, remote across the UK and abroad. *The ten boroughs The same travel-to-work area* The price ## What does an AI consultancy in Manchester cost? £2,000, fixed. One number, not a band and not a day rate. The AI Constraint Audit is £2,000 for a business-wide diagnostic that runs over 14 days. It includes three 60-minute working sessions with the founders and four documents that belong to you at the end of it. Nearly every competing page in this market publishes a range, a "from" price, or nothing at all. A range is a negotiating position rather than a price. If the scope is defined then the number can be, so ours is, and it is the same number for a manufacturer in Trafford and a professional services firm in Salford. The audit fee is not credited against a build. It is a piece of work with its own value, and discounting it against something you have not yet agreed to buy would turn the diagnostic into a sales process. [See what everything else costs](https://agmm.co.uk/what-it-costs/) , or read the sourced [UK price comparison](https://agmm.co.uk/compare/ai-consultancy-cost-uk/) . The deliverables ## What do you get in 14 days? Four documents, each written for your business rather than assembled from a template, plus a clear recommendation about what to do next. 1. **A constraint map.** Where time and margin are lost, traced through the real hand-offs rather than the documented ones. 2. **An AI opportunity map.** The places in your business where AI or software would change the result, and the places where it would only add a licence fee. 3. **The economic cases.** What each opportunity is worth, how it was worked out, and which assumptions are ours rather than measured. 4. **A ranked build proposal.** What to build first, what it costs to build, and what to leave alone. Sometimes the ranked answer is to build nothing. [Read the full audit scope](https://agmm.co.uk/ai-constraint-audit/) . Fit ## Who is this for in Greater Manchester, and who is it not for? It is built for established businesses turning over roughly £1m to £50m: manufacturing and industrial firms around Trafford Park, professional services in the city centre and at Salford Quays, distributors and logistics operators along the M60, contractors working across Stockport, Tameside and Oldham. The shape is always the same. A process that matters crosses inboxes, spreadsheets and software that never quite agree, and people are paid to work around the gap. It is not for sole traders, and not for a business that wants a chatbot fitted this week with no questions asked. A £2,000 diagnostic has to earn its fee in the decision it changes, and a business with no repeated process has nothing for it to measure. If that is you we will say so on the free call. The people ## Who will you work with? Sam Wall and Adam Gillett. The people who scope the work are the people who answer for it. Nothing is subcontracted, and there is no account manager sitting between you and the system. They keep the 5% of the work that is judgement; the other 95% runs on our systems, and AGMM’s build team builds to their design. Sam owns the technical decisions: how the system is built, how it connects to your tools, how the AI behaves, and how it is tested and deployed. Adam stays close to the process and the people around it, so the new way of working lands in daily operations rather than in a document.

Across all ten Greater Manchester boroughs, and over the county line where the same travel-to-work area continues. **The ten boroughs**: Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside and Wigan. **The same travel-to-work area**: Warrington, Altrincham, Wilmslow and Macclesfield. AGMM has no walk-in office, so we come to you. Discovery happens on your site, in the room where the process runs, because the exceptions that break a process never appear in the documented version of it. Everything after that works remotely, and the same engagement runs for clients across the UK and internationally. Greater Manchester runs AI policy of its own: the combined authority publishes the [AI.GM strategic framework](https://www.greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/what-we-do/digital/ai-gm-strategic-framework/) and has stood up an AI and Data Innovation Office alongside it. Firms writing Manchester pages from Warrington or further afield read the same documents. We live under them. Where the work happens ## Where does the work happen? 1. **On your site** Discovery, in the room where the process runs, anywhere in Greater Manchester. 2. **Remote** Everything after discovery, from the working sessions to the documents. 3. **Anywhere else** The same engagement for clients across the UK and internationally. The comparison ## How does this compare with a Manchester agency or a London consultancy? An agency generally delivers the thing you have already decided to buy. A consultancy, or an AI consulting firm if that is the phrase you searched for, generally sells you the decision and hands the build to somebody else. Neither half on its own can afford to tell you that the project is not worth doing. We do both halves, which is the only reason our audit can end with a recommendation to build nothing. On price, a London firm is quoting you for a London office, London travel and a partner who will introduce the work and then leave. You get the deck and you meet the junior who wrote it. We would rather be judged on a document you can open in a browser. Being in Greater Manchester is not a discount pitch, it is the reason we can be sat in your factory in Bury or your office in Stockport on a Tuesday morning and see the process with our own eyes. *Which half of the work each kind of firm usually does.* | Kind of firm | Decides what is worth building | Builds it | | --- | --- | --- | | A Manchester agency | Usually not: it delivers what you have already chosen | Yes | | A London consultancy | Yes | Usually not: it hands the build on | | AGMM | Yes, so the audit can say no | Yes, to the founders’ design | Limits ## What we will not do - We will not recommend a build we would not be willing to write ourselves. - We will not put a language model where a rule, a form or a fixed integration does the job more cheaply and reliably. - We will not sell a retainer for a dashboard nobody opens. - We will not credit the audit fee against a build, because pricing a diagnostic as a deposit turns it into a sales call. - We will not quote a build before the audit, because a number produced before the work is understood is a guess with a decimal point. - We will not publish your company name, your figures or your process without written permission. The boundary ## What we cannot show you yet We do not publish before and after percentages, hours saved or return on investment figures for client work, because we do not yet have a way to measure them that would survive you checking it. Plenty of firms publish those numbers anyway. We would rather you could verify what we do publish. When we can measure outcomes properly they will appear here with the method attached. Until then, the way we run our own business is the proof you can inspect, and the audit price is the other number you can hold us to. Prefer to ask first?

Ask yours on the free fit call. ### How much does an AI consultant in Manchester cost? AGMM publishes one number. The AI Constraint Audit is £2,000 for a business-wide diagnostic over 14 days, including three 60-minute working sessions with the founders and four documents you keep. Build work is quoted separately afterwards, and the audit fee is not credited against it. Read next [Compare what UK firms charge](https://agmm.co.uk/compare/ai-consultancy-cost-uk/) Still unsure?

An agency usually delivers a thing you have already decided to buy. A consultancy usually sells the decision and hands the build to somebody else. AGMM does both halves: the founders who run the audit own the technical decisions, and AGMM’s build team builds to their design. That is why the audit can end with a recommendation not to build. Read next [What an AI consultancy does](https://agmm.co.uk/ai-consultancy/) Still unsure? [Book the free fit call](https://agmm.co.uk/ai-constraint-audit/#book) ### Is AGMM an AI agency? No, though we understand why the word gets reached for first. An agency is usually hired to deliver a campaign or a build that has already been decided. AGMM is hired before that, to work out whether anything should be built at all, and the audit is allowed to answer no. That diagnostic is £2,000, fixed, over fourteen days, and the fee is not credited against a build. The founders who run it are the people who would scope the build.

[Book the free fit call](https://agmm.co.uk/ai-constraint-audit/#book) ### What does an AI consultancy do for a Manchester business? It finds where time and money leak across your departments, tests where AI pays and ranks what to fix first. For a Manchester manufacturer, distributor or professional services firm, that means a fixed £2,000, 14-day audit, then a build only if the evidence supports one.
