eco is an AI operating system installed and run for your business: enquiry intake, follow-up, CRM, content, research and reporting, working around the clock. A UK chief of staff averages around £73,000 to £78,000 a year (Indeed and PayScale salary data, 2026). A fractional AI officer runs £2,000 to £6,000 a month (published UK provider rates, 2026). eco does that class of work for a fraction of either, and it never hands in its notice.
Hidden Edge's founder runs a portfolio of ventures, including a full consumer platform at sen.help (his own venture, launching publicly in August 2026), on the same operating system eco installs for clients. Research, content, email systems, site builds, reporting: produced and run by an AI workforce under one person's direction.
Not a slide deck about AI. A working demonstration that one person with the right system can do the output of a team: the sites, the follow-up, the analysis, the documents, every day, to a standard you can inspect.
The same machinery, pointed at your business: your enquiry intake, your follow-up sequences, your content engine, your research and your monthly numbers, built around how you already work.
Every engagement starts by mapping the work your business repeats, then installing the system that does it. Fixed scope per tier, so you know exactly what you are buying.
£3,000 one-time, credited to your install if you continue
One high-value workflow, fixed scope, built and proven live in three to four weeks. The on-ramp: see the system work on your real business before committing to more.
Replaces: a contractor on a single task.
£6,000 to £7,500 install, then £1,500/month
One core function installed and run end to end, for example lead intake to CRM to follow-up sequences, with monthly reporting.
Replaces: a part-time ops or admin hire.
£12,500 to £15,000 install, then £2,500 to £3,500/month
The full operator: intake, CRM, content engine, research, reporting and an agent workforce across the business, run and evolved month on month.
Replaces: a fractional chief of staff or operations manager.
From £25,000 install, then £5,000 to £20,000/month
Deep-embed and bespoke: multi-function, board-facing reporting, continuous evolution. The fractional-AI-officer seat, held by a system instead of a diary.
Replaces: a fractional Chief AI Officer or COO.
We sit with how your business actually runs: where enquiries come from, what gets repeated, what gets dropped, where the hours go. The map decides the scope, before any price is final.
We build the system on your accounts and your data: workflows, sequences, dashboards, agents. You watch it work on real jobs before you rely on it.
On retainer, we operate it, report the numbers monthly in plain English, and keep upgrading it as the tools improve. You always know what it did and what it earned.
eco is not a magic employee, and we will not sell it as one. It does not make sales calls for you, sign work off for you, or fix a broken offer. If your business does not have repeatable work worth systemising, eco is the wrong purchase and we will say so at the mapping stage.
It is also not a licence to disappear: the businesses that get the most from an operator are the ones whose owner reads the monthly numbers and keeps making decisions. eco removes the grind, not the judgement.
£3,000, one workflow, three to four weeks, credited in full if you continue to an install. If the Pilot does not prove its value on your real work, you will know before the big number, and so will we.
