Founder-led, accountable.
ASLM is a founder-led practice. You hire a named principal who is accountable for everything that ships — the way you'd hire a named partner at a firm, not an account manager at an agency.
Regulator-accepted
An HMRC-recognised payroll system
A custom system built to a UK regulator's bar — and accepted by it.
SOC 2 pre-audit
A multi-tenant AI system, built to SOC 2 pre-audit standard
AI in production with the isolation, access control and evidence to prove it.
Domain depth
Hands-on AML/KYC compliance engineering
We can speak the language of the people who sign off risk — because we've done the work.
Who's behind it
Whoever scopes your project is who builds it, and who answers the phone. Senior throughout — no account managers, no juniors learning on your systems.
A custom payroll system recognised by HMRC. A multi-tenant AI system built to SOC 2 pre-audit standard. Hands-on AML/KYC compliance work. The thread through all of it: building software safe enough for a serious business to stand behind.
The knife points at the hype. Never at you.
The knife points at the hype, never at you
The market sold a lot of demos and called them products. That's who we're against. You're who we stand next to.
Honesty is the whole differentiation
We say what won't work, what we won't do, and what it will really cost. In a market built on overpromising, that's the rare thing.
Show the work, don't claim it
Every bold line here is meant to be backed by something we can show you. Swagger without substance is just more hype.
You are never locked into us
Spec-first, everything documented, everything in your repositories. Any competent engineer could continue where we left off. That's the point.
Your priorities.
Our standard.
Why us?
Founder-led and UK-based, for businesses that can't afford software that breaks. Every engagement is senior-led and built to the standard a regulator would accept. Everyone can build with AI now. Almost nobody can make it real.
Senior-led
Whoever scopes your work is who builds it, and who answers the phone. No account managers, no juniors learning on your systems.
Production-grade
We build the hard 30% most skip: security, edge cases, scale, and the audit trail an auditor would ask for.
Honest
We tell you what won't work, what we won't do, and what it will really cost — before you commit.
Built to last
Spec-first and documented, living in your repositories. You are never locked into us.
