Independent Technology & AI Advisory

Understand what you have.
Identify what matters.
Build what comes next.

DRC provides independent technology and AI advisory during acquisitions, AI adoption, and business change. We assess the current environment, identify valuable opportunities and critical dependencies, and turn the findings into a practical roadmap.

Vendor-neutral Evidence before investment Business-first
Three ways in

Start with the situation—not a predetermined solution.

DRC is one advisory firm with three focused entry points. Acquisition work is the current commercial priority, while AI opportunity and governance remain core parts of the firm.

The DRC Method

Assess. Prioritize. Roadmap.

A repeatable advisory method that begins with evidence and ends with a path leadership can act on.

01 / ASSESS

Build the current-state view.

Understand the business objective, relevant processes, technology, data, people, vendors, ownership and dependencies.

02 / PRIORITIZE

Separate action from distraction.

Evaluate value, feasibility, cost, complexity, risk, time-to-value and confidence. Identify what to pursue, validate, defer or stop.

03 / ROADMAP

Turn findings into a usable path.

Sequence actions, owners, dependencies, investment needs, specialist requirements and success measures.

What clients receive

Clarity you can use.

Not a generic strategy report. Not a technology sales pitch. A grounded view of the environment and what should happen next.

From uncertainty to priorities

DRC connects business objectives to the technology, process, data, ownership and dependency realities underneath them.

Independent by design

DRC does not begin with software to sell or assume AI is the answer. The right path may be process redesign, clearer ownership, an existing capability, a vendor, automation, custom development, specialist review—or no investment.

When deeper engineering, security, identity, legal, financial or assurance expertise is required, DRC defines the need and brings in the right specialist.

Why DRC

A senior operator’s view across business, technology, AI, risk and ownership—without the baggage of a product sale.

Founder Daniel Cooksey brings experience across AI/ML product leadership, Trust & Safety, policy, risk, governance and cross-functional execution. DRC is built to translate across owners, business leaders and technical specialists while staying precise about where specialist implementation belongs.

Independent & vendor-neutral
Business and evidence first
Practical, prioritized outputs
Specialists where depth is required
