How to become a member.

Four steps, about two weeks
Step 1 · Apply

Tell us about your business

A short form: your sector, size, team and where you are with AI.

Step 2 · Fit call

Twenty minutes with us

We check the fit and the seat rule, and answer your questions.

Step 3 · Matched

Placed in your circle

Matched on size, AI maturity and focus. We set your baseline with you.

Step 4 · Welcome

Into the room

Sign the confidentiality terms and meet your circle at your first session.

How we build each circle.

Every member is placed by hand, on four things.

  • Similar size

    Turnover and team in the same band, so the problems are ones you'll recognise.

  • Similar stage

    Matched on AI maturity, so nobody is left behind or held back.

  • Shared focus

    A common goal for the year: growth, margin or getting the team on board.

  • No competitors

    One seat per sector per region. You never share numbers with a rival.

The numbers behind every circle.

Every quarter · anonymised across all circles

Every member fills in the same AI P&L each month. Each quarter we turn it into a benchmark report, strategy intel on what the top performers do differently, and a one-to-one review to plan your next 90 days.

Our methodology

The Compounding Index.

Our own way to measure AI in a business, fairly, whatever its size. Five steps, every quarter.

  1. 01Capture

    The same AI P&L from every member, monthly.

  2. 02Normalise

    Adjusted per head and by size.

  3. 03Score

    Six areas scored 0–100 make your Compounding Score.

  4. 04Compare

    Against similar firms: median and top quarter.

  5. 05Act

    Gaps become a 90-day plan, then we re-measure.
