Pragmatix

For health, government, not-for-profits and software founders

Plan, design and secure technology projects before you commit to them

Five AI advisors that work the way Pragmatix consultants do. Tell one what you are working on. It asks about your organisation, your data and your constraints, then drafts the document you need.

A general chatbot gives expert answers if you already know what to ask. These advisors do the asking, and a Pragmatix consultant reviews their work, so you pay for consultant judgement rather than a consultant team.

Built on the Pragmatix Digital Transformation Framework

Two ways in

The advisors suit two kinds of work. Start with the path that sounds like yours.

Inside an organisation

You run digital projects in a business, government agency or not-for-profit

Start with the Demand Manager. It turns an idea into a request your steering committee can approve, then the Architecture Co-ordinator works out which design, privacy and security work the project needs and routes it to the right advisor.

  1. Demand Manager
  2. Architecture Co-ordinator
  3. Solution, Governance or Cyber

Building a product

You are building software and need it ready for real customers

Clinicians, founders and small businesses with a working prototype, perhaps built quickly with AI coding tools, that now has to hold up with paying customers. The Solution Architect sets out how it should be hosted and what it must meet for performance, availability and security. Cyber Security gets you through a customer's security review. Digital Governance covers privacy, customer data and AI.

The advisors do not read your code. For a hands-on review, talk to Pragmatix.

It asks before it answers

Each advisor asks about your situation before giving advice, the way a consultant would in a first meeting. You do not need to know the frameworks or the right questions.

It ends in a document

Conversations produce something you can use: a request, an assessment, a design, a policy. You review it, change what you need to, and take it from there.

Human oversight

Consultant judgement, without the consultancy bill

A Pragmatix consultant oversees every client engagement. They review what the advisors produce, correct what is wrong, and step in when a question needs a person.

You pay for consultant time spent reviewing and advising, not for a team to interview your people and write every document from a blank page. That is where the saving comes from.

  • Every document is reviewed by a consultant before you rely on it
  • Out-of-scope questions go to a person, not a guess
  • An hourly rate agreed with you up front

What makes these advisors different

A method, not a chatbot

Every advisor works to the Pragmatix Digital Transformation Framework: the structured, standards-based method our consultants use on client projects in healthcare and government.

A general chatbot answers the question you asked. These advisors take your project through the steps a consultant would.

Ask us about the framework
SizedS · M · L · XL
Every project is sized first, and the size decides how much design work it gets. A SaaS configuration change does not get an enterprise architecture document.
CheckedPIA · ISRAP · AI
Privacy impact, security risk and AI assessments are flagged by what the project involves, not left for someone to remember.
DocumentedDAR · IAA · SAD
The outputs are the framework’s standard documents, built on the same templates our consultants use.
Grounded
Advice draws on the standards clients are held to: ISO 27001, the ACSC Essential Eight and ISO/IEC 38500.

How the advisors work together

Each advisor has one job and passes a document to the next. People stay in charge: a steering committee approves the work, a Pragmatix consultant reviews what the advisors produce, and you decide what to do with it.

The advisors

Subscribe to one advisor or several. Each keeps your conversation history, so you can come back to a project. Every advisor marked pX-DTF works to the Pragmatix framework.

  1. Demand ManagerpX-DTF

    Turn an idea into a proper request

  2. Architecture Co-ordinatorpX-DTF

    Work out what the project needs

    Reads a Digital Advisory Request and produces an Initial Architecture Assessment: which design documents the project needs, which privacy and security checks apply, and who should do the work.

    The request and the assessment together are what go to the steering committee.
