Five revenue streams. Five live funding routes. A three-phase delivery plan that takes us from feasibility to scaled adoption.
Based on existing funding routes and emerging trends in AI procurement. Each stream is already proven in other markets — we execute them first in an untapped regional one.
Local councils need AI integration strategies, training and support. These contracts already exist in larger authorities and will reach rural counties next. ShropshireAI is positioned as the local partner to deliver them.
SMEs don't have AI strategies but will need them to remain competitive. Structured adoption frameworks delivered locally — with ongoing partnership, not one-off consultancy.
Rather than competing with AI providers, we partner with them. Commission-based revenue from pre-vetted providers keeps the model agnostic and trusted while monetising implementation at scale.
Council, sector body and private funding for AI productivity trials and adoption case studies. These build the proof points everything else depends on — and generate the PR that positions ShropshireAI as the leading regional AI authority.
AI education and strategy workshops for businesses, councils and industry groups. Immediate revenue, long-term relationships, and the foundation of a sustained county-level network.
Five live funding routes the work is built to access. Each has different eligibility, different consortium requirements, different timelines.
The first practical job: map which routes each Shropshire partner could realistically access — turning a national funding landscape into delivered projects in this county.
A three-phase model delivered in sequence. Feasibility funds the credibility. Pilots fund the proof. Scaled adoption funds the business.
Map AI readiness across the four strands. Identify the practical applications that could be deployed first in each. Confirm partner institutions, sector bodies and anchor organisations. Produce a regional AI adoption roadmap specific enough to be fundable.
Three to five concrete pilot projects, at least one in each strand. Each with a named partner, a measurable outcome and a clear funding route. A precision agriculture trial. A productivity programme for independents in a town centre. A heritage interpretation project. An AI adoption project with a local authority. This is where the proof points come from.
With pilots delivered and proof points in place, ShropshireAI becomes the sustained regional AI partner for any adoption funding flowing into Shropshire across the next five years. Embedded relationships across councils, sector bodies and anchor institutions. A replicable model for similar counties.
Each phase is self-sustaining. Each one earns the right to the next.
