Dormouse Consulting · Applied AI for growing businesses
We make AI work for your business.
Practical AI consulting that starts with understanding what you already have, what you actually need and where technology can make a genuine difference.
Assess first. Implement second.
AI transformation should start with your business — not with a tool.
I begin by mapping your current processes, workflows, systems and tools. I identify what already works, where time or knowledge is being lost and where AI or automation could create measurable value. Only then do we decide what to build.
What I assess
Processes, systems, tools, information flows, repetitive work, bottlenecks, team needs and opportunities.
What you receive
A clear picture of where you are now, what should change, what should stay and a prioritized roadmap for what comes next.

About Dormouse Consulting
Technology changes. Curiosity shouldn’t.
Dormouse Consulting exists to make AI useful, understandable and practical for growing businesses. I work from the business outward: first understanding how work happens today, then deciding where technology can genuinely improve it.
Business first. Technology second.
Before choosing a platform, model or automation, I ask simpler questions: Where does your team lose time? Which processes create unnecessary work? Where does information get stuck? What do customers repeatedly need? Which decisions could be better informed?
Sometimes the answer is sophisticated AI. Sometimes it is a simple automation. Sometimes the best answer is not AI at all.
Why the Dormouse?
The teapot
What you already have: your business, systems, knowledge and familiar ways of working.
The dormouse
Curiosity: the willingness to look beneath the surface and ask what could work better.
The stars
Possibility: the opportunities waiting to be discovered when the right ideas and technology meet.
The real magic isn’t AI itself. The magic happens when the right technology, the right people and the right ideas come together.
Training
Give your people confidence with AI.
Training is practical, role-specific and connected to the work your team actually does — not a generic lesson in prompting.
Teams learn where AI helps, where judgment remains essential, how to use approved tools effectively and how to work safely with information and data.
The goal is not simply adoption. It is useful, confident and responsible use.
Managed AI
Your AI should keep getting better.
Implementation is not the finish line. Managed AI keeps your workflows dependable and useful as tools, teams and business needs change.
Monitor
Watch performance, reliability and adoption.
Maintain
Keep integrations, prompts, agents and automations working.
Improve
Refine what already works based on real use.
Expand
Add new capabilities when they make business sense.
The Curiosity Cabinet
Ideas worth opening the drawer for.
Practical guidance, useful discoveries and thoughtful perspectives for businesses navigating AI.
