## Capabilities

- [Investor Intelligence](https://airful.io/services/growth-architecture): Enrichment, scoring and pipeline systems for fundraising and deal flow. We take the contacts you already hold, add signal from outside, score them against your thesis, and wire the result into the tools your team works in, so outreach starts from evidence rather than memory.
- [Operational Platforms](https://airful.io/services/product-platform): Custom operating platforms, migrations off the tools you have outgrown, and the intelligence features inside the products you ship. Built on a stack we run for dozens of clients, delivered in phases you can see, and handed over with the keys.
- [Growth Operations](https://airful.io/services/business-transformation): The layer that runs after a platform ships: analytics flowing in daily, a monthly optimisation cadence, automation of the work that eats your team's week, senior technology leadership on a fractional basis, and the AI skills your people need to do their own jobs better.
- [Digital Marketing](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing): Agentic marketing for operators who want the consistency of a system and the judgement of a team. Performance media, conversion, content, social and email programmes built on unified analytics, with narrative reporting that tells leadership what changed and why.
- [AI Governance and Security](https://airful.io/services/ai-governance-and-security): Assessment and build work that gives leadership a defensible picture of where AI reaches data and decisions, installs the controls that keep it that way, and tests the AI systems you build before someone else does.

## Engagements

- [Contact Enrichment and Consolidation](https://airful.io/services/growth-architecture/contact-enrichment-and-consolidation): Investor Intelligence, build. We pull contacts from inboxes, messaging exports, professional networks and legacy CRMs into a single de-duplicated set, enrich each record with outside signal, and deliver it in a portal or your CRM. Two to three weeks, tooling at cost.
- [CRM Sync and Pipeline Analytics](https://airful.io/services/growth-architecture/crm-sync-and-pipeline-analytics): Investor Intelligence, build. A bidirectional sync between your data platform and the CRM your team works outreach in, with non-destructive merging, fail-open intake forms, and analytics that show deal velocity rather than activity. One to two weeks on the CRMs we already run.
- [Investor Intelligence Audit](https://airful.io/services/growth-architecture/investor-intelligence-audit): Investor Intelligence, assessment. A one-week audit of the contacts you already hold, across inboxes, exports and your CRM, enriched with outside signal and scored against your thesis. You receive a ranked shortlist per persona, the reasoning behind each score, and a plan for the platform if one is warranted.
- [Investor Scoring Platform](https://airful.io/services/growth-architecture/investor-scoring-platform): Investor Intelligence, build. A platform that consolidates organisations and contacts, enriches them continuously, scores them with a model written for your thesis, and shows the pipeline your team actually has. Built in phases over three to six weeks and handed over as your own system.
- [Intelligence Features in Product](https://airful.io/services/product-platform/intelligence-features-in-product): Operational Platforms, build. Language-model features designed and shipped inside your product: chat with lead capture, matching and recommendation, classification and routing, document extraction, report generation. Built with cost controls, evaluation and guardrails, so the feature works on a bad day too. Two to four weeks per feature.
- [Operations Platform for Operators](https://airful.io/services/product-platform/operations-platform): Operational Platforms, build. A custom operations platform for founder-led businesses: contacts and clients, enquiries and pipeline, bookings, documents, newsletters and payments in one place, built on a template we have run many times and shaped to your workflow. From a five-day setup to a full multi-role build.
- [Platform Migration](https://airful.io/services/product-platform/platform-migration): Operational Platforms, build. A rebuild of your website or application from a page builder, a legacy CMS or an ageing framework onto a modern stack you own, with every existing URL preserved, content migrated, and analytics reconnected. Two to six weeks depending on scale, phased so you can see progress.
- [Product and Platform Build](https://airful.io/services/product-platform/product-and-platform-build): Operational Platforms, build. A phased build for a new product or platform: foundation with authentication, data model and one working flow; feature phases for the parts that make it yours; polish, compliance and launch. Four to twelve weeks, fixed price per phase, with a working deliverable at the end of each.
- [WhatsApp Operations Layer](https://airful.io/services/product-platform/whatsapp-operations-layer): Operational Platforms, build. WhatsApp built into your operations platform as a shared, logged channel: enquiry capture, routing, templates, a shared inbox, automated follow-up and a daily digest. For businesses where customers message first. Two to three weeks, with a small monthly fee for the channel.
- [AI Skills Training for Business Owners](https://airful.io/services/business-transformation/ai-skills-training): Growth Operations, programme. Hands-on training for business owners and their teams on using AI tools in real work: setting up the tools, working with code and documents, building a first workflow, and knowing what not to put into them. A day on-site or remote for up to five people, with two weeks of follow-up, or a series of three sessions.
- [Fractional Technology Leadership](https://airful.io/services/business-transformation/fractional-technology-leadership): Growth Operations, retainer. A named senior technologist embedded with your leadership team part-time: architecture and vendor decisions, hiring and team direction, roadmap and budget, and honest challenge on what you are being sold. For businesses that need the judgement without the full-time seat, on a defined and time-boxed basis.
- [Growth Observability Setup](https://airful.io/services/business-transformation/growth-observability-setup): Growth Operations, build. We connect your web analytics, search console, session recordings, advertising and social accounts into one unified data store that updates every day, backfill recent history, and deliver a first review of what it shows. Two weeks, mostly access and configuration, and the prerequisite for everything continuous.
- [Monthly Growth Optimisation](https://airful.io/services/business-transformation/monthly-growth-optimisation): Growth Operations, retainer. A monthly cadence on top of your observability data: we review every source, propose three to five specific changes, ship the ones you approve, run the experiments, and write up what happened. The layer most agencies stop before. Requires the observability setup or an equivalent.
- [Process and Workflow Automation](https://airful.io/services/business-transformation/process-and-workflow-automation): Growth Operations, build. We map the repetitive work in your operation, pick the two or three processes worth automating first, and build them: intake, routing, reminders, document generation, reconciliation, reporting. Built on the tools you already run, with a person kept in the loop where judgement matters. One to three weeks.
- [Agentic Marketing System](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/agentic-marketing-system): Digital Marketing, build. We wire your analytics, ads, social, email and enquiry data into one daily pipeline, then add the agents: drafting content and ad variants, scheduling, flagging anomalies, routing leads, and writing the weekly digest. A person approves every publish and every spend change. Three to six weeks, then run monthly.
- [Answer Engine Optimisation](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/answer-engine-optimisation): Digital Marketing, assessment. A one-week audit of how your brand appears when someone asks an AI assistant who to work with: what is said, what is missing, which sources are cited instead, and a three-month plan to change it. Continues as a monthly programme that tracks citations and ships the content and structure that earn them.
- [Content Creation](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/content-creation): Digital Marketing, retainer. Editorial, video and long-form content produced monthly by a system that drafts from your data and a person who edits to your voice: articles written to be cited by answer engines, short video from a template pipeline, newsletters and case-study pages. Consistent, on time, and measured.
- [Conversion Rate Optimisation](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/conversion-rate-optimisation): Digital Marketing, programme. A four-week sprint that uses your analytics and session recordings to find the three largest conversion bottlenecks, builds and runs structured experiments against them, and ships the winners. Recommendation and implementation in one engagement, with a documented gain at the end.
- [Email Revenue Systems](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/email-revenue-systems): Digital Marketing, build. An audit-first build of the email systems that produce revenue: list hygiene and segmentation, welcome, abandoned-cart, post-purchase and re-engagement flows, behavioural tagging from your platform, and reporting by flow. Two to three weeks on the email platform you already use.
- [Marketing Intelligence and Reporting](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/marketing-intelligence-and-reporting): Digital Marketing, retainer. Analytics-driven insight generation on top of unified data: weekly and monthly narrative reports written by a system and read by a person before they reach you, anomaly flags the day they happen, and a monthly working session. The reporting layer for every marketing programme we run. Setup, then monthly.
- [Performance Marketing](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/performance-marketing): Digital Marketing, programme. Paid social and search built and run as a system: tracking that reaches the enquiry and the booking, structured campaigns for prospecting, retargeting and messaging, daily performance logging with automatic flags, and a person deciding what to scale. Two-week setup, then monthly. Ad spend stays with you.
- [Social Media Management](https://airful.io/services/digital-marketing/social-media-management): Digital Marketing, retainer. Social channels run as a system: a monthly calendar built from your content and data, posts drafted and scheduled by the pipeline, a person approving and replying, and a report that ties activity to enquiries. For operators who want presence without a daily chore.
- [AI Application Security Assessment](https://airful.io/services/ai-governance-and-security/ai-application-security-assessment): AI Governance and Security, assessment. A structured assessment of a language-model feature or agent you have built or bought: threat modelling of prompt injection, data leakage through retrieval, over-broad tool permissions, and model and vendor handling of your data, with hands-on testing and a prioritised fix list. One to two weeks.
- [AI Discovery and Data Exposure Assessment](https://airful.io/services/ai-governance-and-security/ai-discovery-and-data-exposure-assessment): AI Governance and Security, assessment. A read-only assessment that inventories every AI tool and AI-connected application in use across your organisation, maps the data each one can reach and under whose authority it was granted, and hands you a keep, restrict or revoke decision for each. One to two weeks, a couple of hours of your time.
- [Governance Controls Build](https://airful.io/services/ai-governance-and-security/governance-controls-build): AI Governance and Security, build. We turn an AI governance design into working controls: an AI system register, approval workflow for new tools, data-classification and sharing rules, logging and retention, monitoring data reaching AI services, and evidence an auditor or insurer can read. Built inside your platforms over two to six weeks.
- [Policy and Evidence Pack](https://airful.io/services/ai-governance-and-security/policy-and-evidence-pack): AI Governance and Security, build. A proportionate policy set for your size: acceptable use covering personal devices and AI tools, data classification, access and joiner-leaver procedure, incident response with named roles, and an evidence pack that maps each policy to the control that satisfies it. Two to three weeks, with an annual review option.
- [SaaS and Identity Posture Assessment](https://airful.io/services/ai-governance-and-security/saas-and-identity-posture-assessment): AI Governance and Security, assessment. A read-only review of your email and collaboration suite, identity provider and core apps: multi-factor coverage, administrative privilege, external sharing, mail rules, logging and retention, and every third-party application holding standing access. A remediation plan your administrators can execute in a week.
## Industries

- [Health, Wellness and Longevity](https://airful.io/industries/health-wellness-and-longevity): Clinics, practitioners, wellness brands and longevity businesses handle personal data in every workflow and are usually run by the person delivering the care. We build the platforms, funnels and content systems that let the practice grow without the practitioner doing everything, and we govern the AI inside the work.
- [Hospitality and Retreats](https://airful.io/industries/hospitality-and-retreats): Hotels, resorts, retreat centres and boutique operators run on bookings that arrive from everywhere and guests who research on AI before they call. We build the platforms that hold it together and run the growth work that keeps the calendar full, property by property.
- [Investor Relations and Capital](https://airful.io/industries/investor-relations-and-capital): Funds, founders raising capital, family offices and the advisors around them run on relationships that live in inboxes and judgement that lives in one person's head. We build the intelligence systems that rank and refresh them, and the platforms and marketing that carry a raise from first contact to close.
- [Professional Services and Advisory](https://airful.io/industries/professional-services-and-advisory): Advisory firms, consultancies, accountants and agencies sell judgement. We build the platforms that let that judgement reach more clients, run the marketing that fills the pipeline, and govern the AI that is already inside the work.
- [Real Estate and Proptech](https://airful.io/industries/real-estate-and-proptech): Developers, brokers, property operators and proptech founders run on listings spread across portals, owners spread across records, and channel partners who each need their own view. We build the platforms and intelligence pipelines that hold it together and score what matters, and the marketing that fills them.
