About us

We stay until the work is finished.

We train people to work with AI, put them in front of clients in the UK and US, and help them build a career. For businesses, we work out what to do and then bring the people who do it.

Our story

It started as a complaint.

Anyone who has paid for professional advice knows the feeling. The advice arrives, it is usually right, and then it sits there, because nobody has the time or the skill to act on it.

One half of the market tells you what to do. The other half sells you hours. Neither side owns the result, so the client is left to join the two up alone.

We built DECAPI to join them up instead. The people who help decide the work also bring the people who do it, and we answer for both.

Why we exist

Businesses rarely run out of ideas. They get stuck the moment an idea has to become somebody's actual job, on an actual Tuesday.

Everything we do sits around that moment. Name the problem properly, decide what is worth doing, then put capable people on it for exactly as long as it takes.

What we hold to

  1. 01

    Get the question right first

    The first job is to write the problem down in one sentence everyone agrees with. Get that right and the rest follows. Get it wrong and nothing after it works.

  2. 02

    Plain words, always

    If an explanation needs its own dictionary, it is usually hiding something. We write things the way we would say them across a table.

  3. 03

    The right size of job

    Small problems deserve small jobs. We would rather price two days accurately than sell six months comfortably.

  4. 04

    Respect for the people doing the work

    The person doing the job is not a line on a spreadsheet. Scope, terms and pay are agreed before they start, on both sides.

Advice and doing

One firm, held to both halves.

Advice on its own gives you a document. Work without advice gives you activity. Put the two together and you get the finished thing, which is what you were buying all along.

In practice it means the person who worked out your problem briefs the person doing the job directly, in the same words, with the same idea of what finished looks like.

Partners and clients

DECAPI works alongside organisations and specialist firms across sectors. Engagements are confidential by default, so this list reflects those who are happy to be named.

Our team

We are a small team, and everyone here still works on real jobs. The person who scopes your problem is rarely far from the person doing it.

What comes next

The firm first. The platform after.

We are building the software underneath our own work: a proper way for jobs, people and clients to find each other, without losing the judgement that makes a good match.

It is being built carefully, in order. It has to be as good as what we already do by hand, or it is not worth shipping.
