How we engage

Engineering excellence, amplified by AI.

Every organisation is different. The scale of the challenge, the maturity of your teams, the pace you need to move - all of it shapes how the engagement should work.

ClearPoint combines high-velocity engineering with strong safety practices and AI-enabled delivery across every engagement model. Whether it's a standalone product build or working alongside your existing teams, the engagement is structured to deliver outcomes and leave your people with greater capability.

Engagement models

Four engagement models, each backed by ClearPoint's AI-enabled engineering practices, delivery standards and information security practices aligned to ISO 27001. Engagements are supported by a dedicated Client Director, Technical Director, and Engagement Director — a leadership structure that scales with the size and complexity of the work.

ClearPoint team

Full Ownership. ClearPoint takes responsibility for the end-to-end delivery of your project, from initial design to final deployment.

Best for: Turnkey solutions, product delivery, and defined programmes of work.

Hybrid team

 Co-delivery. ClearPoint and your people working as one integrated team with shared goals, shared accountability, and a collective commitment to your success.  

Best for:  Large-scale transformations, strategic initiatives, and capability uplift. 

Individual talent

Seamless fit. Specialist consultants, engineers, architects, designers, or data experts embedded directly in your squads. 

Best for:  Scaling existing teams or filling critical skill gaps. 

Managed services

Continuous value. Ongoing support, optimisation, and management of your technology and platform environments. 

Best for:  Long-term stability, security, and iterative improvement. 

How we accelerate

ClearPoint's advisory frameworks provide the foundation for AI-enabled engineering at scale. Applied by Principal Engineers and Technical, Engagement and Client Leadership teams, they ensure every engagement starts with a clear baseline and a structured path to measurable improvement.

F25: The foundation for AI-enabled engineering

AI and autonomous agents are force multipliers, not substitutes for engineering fundamentals. The Foundational 25 (F25) is our diagnostic framework designed to bridge this gap. We’ve identified 25 specific capabilities across culture, methodology, and technology that - when paired with AI - unlock high-performance delivery. This framework baselines your team’s status, identifies bottlenecks, and prioritises improvements so AI amplifies performance rather than complexity.

The F25 ensures AI agents operate safely by establishing the same guardrails required by human engineers. From adopting trunk-based development to hardening security and automating infrastructure, the F25 identifies the quick wins and long-term investments needed for peak maturity. It is the roadmap for converting raw AI potential into measurable engineering velocity.

What the F25 unlocks:

  • AI-ready infrastructure: Automating the "toil" through infrastructure and security automation so your teams can focus on high-value innovation.
  • High-velocity flow: Optimising delivery through small batches, continuous delivery, and feature flags to reduce lead times and increase stability.
  • Built-in quality: Establishing a culture of quality supported by test automation and observability to catch issues before they reach production.
  • Resilient architecture: Transitioning to modern architecture and code maintainability to ensure your platforms scale alongside your business.

A3 AI Engineering

A3 playbook: assess, analyse, apply

The A3 Playbook is our structured engine for turning F25 insights into tangible engineering velocity. By matching your team’s unique bottlenecks with our library of proven "Plays”, we ensure your investment in AI and automation is laser-focused on the problems costing you the most in delivery speed and quality.

The A3 process delivers a quantified roadmap - defining the exact AI tools, agents, processes, and techniques required to accelerate your transformation. It’s a pragmatic, three-step cycle designed to prove ROI early and scale high-performance engineering across your entire organisation.

The A3 process:

  • Assess: We quickly quantify team maturity using the F25 framework, generating a HPC heatmap and AI readiness score through team surveys and our rapid skills-based AI Agent assessment tool.
  • Analyse: We pinpoint the top 3 bottlenecks impacting your delivery and match them against our library of common industry problems to categorise the path forward.
  • Apply: We implement 2–3 targeted plays with measurable outcomes, deploying specific AI patterns and processes tailored to fix your core issues.

Accelerate your AI adoption with ClearPoint

Our goal is simple: to upskill and empower you with AI so you can achieve performance that delivers faster and better quality outcomes. The outcome of our F25 and A3 Playbook is a phased journey of AI adoption where your people are increasingly leveraged with agents:  

Human with assistance

Every employee has an AI assistant helping them work better and faster.

Human-agent teams

Agents join teams as “digital colleagues” taking on specific tasks at human direction.

Human-led, agent-operated

Humans set direction and agents execute business processes and workflows, checking in as needed.

How our engagement models and AI come together

Wherever you are on your AI journey, you can rely on ClearPoint to scale your engineering strategy. From advising and delivering an AI playbook, to providing an AI-enabled Principal Engineer into your team, we work with your requirements.

Why organisations choose ClearPoint

Great engineering is a system - how people work, the practices they follow, the platforms they build on, and whether capability compounds over time. Here's what sets engineering at ClearPoint apart.

 

Continuous cycle

Design, build, and amplify work as a continuous cycle. We bring all three disciplines together, so you get joined-up thinking and compounding outcomes, whether the engagement spans one phase or all three. 

AI-enabled delivery

AI is how our people work. It's embedded across every phase of delivery - from research and architecture through to development, testing, deployment, and analytics. Your engagement benefits from it by default. 

Safety by design

Speed requires control. Every engagement is built on strong engineering standards and responsible AI practices. Continuous delivery, automated security, rigorous testing — and ISO 27001 alignment as standard. 

Capability that stays

Our teams work alongside yours, on your tools, on your codebase. Skills transfer through daily practice. Your organisation is stronger for it.
