THE MARKET
84% of the world hasn't started yet.
In 2025, Anthropic analysed over one million real conversations to map how AI is being used across the global economy. What they found was striking — not because of what was happening, but because of how much wasn't.
AI adoption is real. But it is radically concentrated. The businesses benefiting are almost exclusively in software, data, and technical roles. The rest — retail founders, food entrepreneurs, professional services firms, product businesses — are watching from the outside.
This is the chart that matters:
16 in 100 businesses actively use AI. You're looking at the other 84.

The 84% is not a problem to solve. It's a market to serve.
Founder Engine is built for the grey dots. The founders who know AI could help them — but don't know where to start, don't have time to learn twelve new tools, and won't pay £500/day for a consultant to tell them to use ChatGPT more.
THE RESEARCH
AI can do this. Most businesses aren't using it. That gap is the opportunity.
In January 2026, Anthropic published their most detailed Economic Index to date. It mapped the theoretical capability of AI across every major business function — against what is actually being used. The result is one of the most important charts in business right now.

The blue shape is enormous across every business function. The red shape barely exists outside of software and technical roles. For the founder running a real business — not a tech startup — almost none of this capability has reached them.
This isn't because the technology doesn't work. It's because no one has made it accessible in the way founders actually work — through conversation, not configuration.
That gap between blue and red? That's what Founder Engine closes.
THE PROCESS
Three steps. One conversation. Transformation.
01
You fill in a short form
Tell us your name, company, and website. In the background, Founder Engine runs an automated research sweep — press coverage, reviews, LinkedIn, Companies House. We know your business before the call begins.
02
You have a 20-minute AI voice conversation
No scheduling. No waiting. Click start and you're talking to Angus — our AI diagnostic agent — who already knows your business and asks the questions a great advisor would ask.
03
You receive your action plan
Same day. A structured intelligence brief and prioritised action plan built specifically for your business. Not a template. A clear, sequenced plan your team can execute — starting tomorrow.
BETWEEN SESSIONS
Angus stays active in WhatsApp between calls. Ask a question at 11pm. Get a considered answer informed by everything he already knows about your business.
PRICING
Priced like a fractional advisor. Delivers like a full team.
Compare us to what you're already paying: a consultant day rate is £500-800. A fractional CFO is £2-5k/month. A management consultant engagement is £20k+.

The founders who start this year will be impossible to catch.
We're opening the first cohort in April 2026. Places are limited — we onboard founders personally and we're not scaling before we've nailed it. If you're serious about AI transforming your business, this is where it starts.
