    Founder, Solve8 | AI Consultant

    With 18 years implementing data, OT and automation systems on projects for BHP, Rio Tinto and Senex Energy, gained while working with previous consulting employers, our team has seen what works and what doesn't in Australian AI projects. This guide distills the lessons learned from multi-million dollar implementations into practical advice you can apply to your own operations.

    Written from prior project experience rather than from vendor material. Where the guide cites a figure, it names the source.

    Don't Make a $50K Mistake

    The average failed AI project costs Australian businesses $50,000+ in wasted budget and 18 months in delays. This free guide helps you avoid becoming another statistic.

    We email you the guide and nothing else unless you ask us to.
