Insights
Data platforms, AI delivery and APRA compliance, written by the people doing the work. One new insight every fortnight.
compliance
Notes from EO Melbourne's AI in Action session, where Dylan spoke on data strategy, governance and scalable platforms - why governance is what lets a founder move fast on AI, and the five decisions that do the work of a framework at founder scale.
compliance
Data residency answered the easy half of sovereignty. The question that matters now is who controls the institutional knowledge AI captures through prompts, evaluation sets and correction logs - and under CPS 230 a foundation model is a material service provider.
ai-delivery
No Australian AI consultancy publishes prices. What really drives the number, the four commercial models you'll be offered, and what a quote must itemise.
ai-delivery
Most AI readiness assessments score ambition, not readiness. What a real one measures across data, use cases, skills, technology and governance - and how to run one in weeks.
Platforms
Most stalled AI programs are not model problems, they are platform problems. What makes a data platform governed, the four failures of an ungoverned one, and the order to build it in.
ai-delivery
Four situations where an external AI consultant earns its cost in Australia, three where hiring or waiting beats it, and the test that separates them.
ai-delivery
Directory rankings and AI answers name the same firms. Neither measures delivery. A buyer's method for shortlisting AI consulting firms in Australia in 2026.
compliance
NSW agencies must run AI through the NSW AI Assessment Framework. The obligation stays with the agency, but the evidence is produced by the supplier. What that asks of an AI consulting firm.
compliance
Data governance in Melbourne answers to Victorian law as well as federal. What OVIC, the VPDSS and the Privacy Act actually require, and how to build a governance operating model that holds.
Compliance
Which consultants help Australian financial services meet CPS 230 using AI? The market splits into law, cyber, GRC and platforms. The data layer is the gap.
AI Delivery
Who builds agentic AI automation for mid-size Australian businesses? RUBIX, for organisations of 200 to 2,000 people - and why the mid-market ships agents that stick.
Compliance
For twenty years, compliance in Australian financial services has been a documentation discipline. CPS 230 quietly breaks that model: the supervisory question is no longer "show me the policy" but "show me the signal."
