The method

Assess. Build. Lead.

Every engagement starts by understanding your business and ends with AI running inside it.

01

Assess

Diagnose, then strategise

  • The Diagnostic

    Start here. Two weeks, a short senior read of the few AI moves worth making and the many to leave alone. Deliberately small, and the gate everything else passes through.

  • Strategy engagement

    From the diagnostic shortlist to a full roadmap. A stack-level call on your technology, a prioritised set of initiatives, and an honest call on what to build first. Includes the Technology and Governance audits.

02

Build

Engineering and delivery

We build across three surfaces: your processes, your product, and your people.

  • Process engineering and agentic workflows

    Redesign core processes, then build the agents that run them.

  • Product reimagining

    AI as a capability, not a bolted-on feature.

  • AI-assisted development practice

    AI-assisted engineering in your team, with the guardrails to match.

Scoped on outcomes delivered, not hours logged.

Lead

Fractional AI leadership

  • Fractional Chief AI Officer (CAIO)

    One to two days a week, owning the AI agenda rather than advising on it.

Client results

"We had AI activity everywhere and value nowhere. Six months on, the systems delvr.ai built are part of how we run the business."

Managing Director, engineering firm

When to call us

You're here because telco AI is not moving fast enough.

This is for you if

  • You have AI pilots running with no path to production
  • Your team is experimenting, but the leadership team needs a coherent agenda
  • You need strategy and implementation from one engagement, not a handoff
  • You want an operator who works alongside your team and owns the outcome

This isn't for you if

  • You want a final report and no follow-through. We build, not just advise
  • You have a fully staffed AI centre of excellence and only need another pair of hands
  • You are a startup still finding its footing, where the engagement likely is not the right fit yet

Not sure?

Start with the Diagnostic. Two weeks, low commitment, and an honest read of the few AI moves worth making before you spend on any of them.

Paul Salvage, founder of delvr.ai

About

Run by a telco operator.

delvr.ai is a consultancy, but it did not come up through consulting. The practice is run by Paul Salvage, CIO of a major telco group operating across 24 countries. Twenty-five years building and running technology inside operators, led from that seat.

The same career includes a pioneer role in mobile financial services, US healthcare work on medical-record retrieval, summarisation, and retrieval pipelines, a CTO role at a Silicon Valley scale-up, CEO of a product development agency, and founding a wealth management AI startup. Building with AI in production since 2017.

The recommendations we make are ones Paul has had to live with on the other side of the table.
