Recurring questions are handled through one agreed support route rather than scattered messages and one-off favours.
AI Adoption Support Retainer
Keep AI use moving without turning every new question into a new project.
Useful AI work keeps moving after the first project. Staff raise new questions, tools change, a new use case needs checking and an existing rule or workflow may need a small update.
This service gives existing House of Carol AI customers a defined support route around the baseline already in place, without treating every question as a new project.
For: existing House of Carol AI customers with an established baseline that needs proportionate continuing support.
£300–£900per month
Indicative pricing. The exact monthly fee and included support scope are agreed before commitment.
Support can cover recurring adoption questions, proposed new uses, focused updates to existing AI material and practical follow-through on the baseline already in place.
Defined monthly support · controlled intake · larger implementation or specialist work scoped separately
What changes
A continuing route for the practical questions that appear once AI is part of real work.
Proposed new uses can be checked against the existing baseline before staff simply start using them.
Small changes to existing policy, guidance or workflow material can be handled without reopening the whole original project.
When the need has become a new implementation or specialist matter, that is identified early and scoped separately.
What you will receive
Baseline review
Periodic review of the AI baseline already in place and the material adoption questions that have emerged around it.
Controlled support questions
A defined route for practical questions that can be answered within the existing service boundary and House of Carol competence.
New-use assessment
Proportionate assessment of a proposed new AI use so the organisation can decide whether it fits the existing baseline, needs further work or should not proceed yet.
Focused updates
Small agreed changes to existing AI policy, process or guidance material where the change does not amount to a new implementation project.
Adoption support
Practical help where staff or managers need to apply the existing rules and working methods more consistently.
Action, change and referral record
A clear record of material questions, agreed changes, unresolved items and matters that need a separate specialist or implementation route.
WORKED EXAMPLE
See how this can work
Example situation: Useful AI work keeps moving after the first project. Staff raise new questions, tools change, a new use case needs checking and an existing rule or workflow may need a small update.
We would start with what is happening now and the information already available, then work through the service described on this page. If the problem needs a different route, we would say so before broadening the work.
A clearer result: A continuing route for the practical questions that appear once AI is part of real work.
What you could receive: Baseline review, Controlled support questions, New-use assessment, Focused updates, Adoption support, and Action, change and referral record.

What the engagement looks like
- Service type
- Managed AI adoption support
- Delivery
- Remote recurring support
- Pricing
- Indicative £300–£900 per month
- Customer
- Existing House of Carol AI customers with an established baseline
- Scope
- The exact monthly support boundary, included work and response arrangements are agreed before commitment
- Larger work
- New implementations, materially larger changes and specialist matters are scoped separately
The service is finite. The agreed monthly scope is confirmed before work starts so both sides know what support is included and when a request has become a separate piece of work.
What needs to be in place?
An existing House of Carol AI engagement or agreed baseline, one accountable customer contact and an agreed route for support requests.
The organisation remains responsible for its operational decisions, system permissions, data handling and any specialist approvals that apply to its work.
What is outside the scope?
The retainer is not unlimited or emergency/on-call advisory access.
New implementation projects, automation builds, materially larger redesigns, legal or DPO work, certification and other specialist professional matters are not included unless separately scoped and agreed.
Is this the right service?
It fits when useful House of Carol AI work is already in place and the organisation wants a defined route for recurring questions, small updates and new-use decisions.
If the need is a one-off policy, training session, opportunity review or implementation project, a defined project service is likely to fit better.
What this service does not promise
The retainer does not promise unlimited availability, instant responses, a particular level of AI adoption, compliance outcomes, savings, productivity gains or commercial results.
FROM INTEREST TO A CLEAR DECISION
How to get started
Start with the problem, not a purchase decision. We will check whether this service fits before anything is agreed.
1. Tell us what is happening
Share the problem you are trying to solve, what you already have and any deadline or constraint that matters.
2. We check the fit
We check the scope, the information we would need, the fee and whether this is genuinely the right service. If it is not, we will say so.
3. You decide with the facts clear
Nothing starts until you know what is included, what is not, what you need to provide and what happens next.
There is no pressure to add another service. The useful next step is simply to decide whether this one solves the problem in front of you.
Ongoing support
What keeps coming up after the initial AI work?
Tell us what is already in place and the kinds of questions or small changes that now recur. We will confirm whether ongoing support fits and define the monthly scope before anything is agreed.
