AI can’t reach the data
Every stalled pilot stalls in the same place. It is rarely the model — it is what the model is allowed to touch.
Everyone advising you is selling
Platform vendors, resellers, integrators. All arrive at a conclusion that happens to be their product.
The tools outran the plan
Agents, MCP, and anyone able to stand up a working app in an afternoon. Whatever you decided in 2021 was decided against a different picture.
Two practices. One standard of advice.
Whichever side you come in on, you get the same thing: advice from someone with no product in the answer, a fixed fee agreed up front, and a straight answer — including “you don’t need to buy anything yet”. What changes is the size of your organisation and the scale of the work.
Mid-market & enterprise
Integration Architecture & AI Advisory
For organisations with a tangled, part-documented estate and an AI ambition that keeps stalling on it. Diagnostic, direction, then execution — with a working pilot rather than a slide.
- 10+ systems exchanging data
- Fixed fee, 2–7 weeks elapsed
- Free front door: 8-dimension readiness scorecard
Small & medium business
AI Enablement for SMEs
A guide, not a vendor. For 6–99 staff firms who have tried AI and stalled: where it actually helps, which of your existing tools already does it, and what to skip.
- 6–99 staff, real admin and approval pain
- Start with the Connected AI Starter, then the next step that fits
- Free front door: 10-question AI Opportunity Snapshot

Integration layer
Integration Strategy
A vendor-neutral integration strategy for the AI era: the plan you already have re-tested, or a lean strategy set from scratch.
Fractional Integration Architect
Design authority on retainer, from NZ$3,500 a month.
Tooling & Platform Selection
A vendor-neutral choice with a total-cost comparison: a decision, or a defensible shortlist into your procurement process.
Agent-ready integration design
How AI agents should reach your systems: MCP interfaces, a target-state blueprint and a working pilot.
Integration architecture for delivery programmes
Solution and target-state architecture for programmes and delivery partners, on a day-rate or fixed-outcome basis.
Why independent
Everyone else in the room is selling you something.
Platform vendors conclude you need their platform. Systems integrators conclude you need a programme. Resellers conclude you need more licences. Queleon sells advice — so the recommendation has to be right.
No reseller margins, no platform to defend, no kickbacks for pointing you anywhere. Which is why “your accounting system already does that” and “don’t buy that yet” are answers we have actually given.
One front door. Then your path.
See the full engagement model →How the Integration Architecture & AI Advisory line works. Everyone starts at the same free front door, then takes one route through — not all of them. The SME line runs shorter and lighter.
01 · FREE
The front door
Readiness scorecard, then a 45-minute session to understand the scope. We use that to price the work and send you an SoW — or tell you there’s nothing to buy yet, if that’s the honest answer.
02 · DIAGNOSTIC + DIRECTION
Set the direction
Create your integration strategy for the AI era, or re-test the one you have — evidenced by a current-state read, not opinion.
03 · EXECUTION
Act on it
Vendor-neutral platform selection, and an agent-era integration blueprint proven with a working pilot.

Circling the Plug Hole with AI
Sometimes the hardest part of working with AI isn't the thinking. It's the plumbing. This issue is a warts-and-all account of what happened when I asked AI to sweep receipts and invoices out of my inbox and stage them into Queleon's ledger. The accounting logic took a couple of hours. Attachments it could see but not open, a ledger it could find but not update, and a scheduled job that had quietly never run at all — those took days to work through. There's also a twist I didn't expect to be writing about, involving my own AI advisor telling me something with great confidence that turned out not to be true. If you've ever found yourself two hours into an "almost working" idea and unwilling to let it go, this one is for you.

The Integration and AI Landscape
Last time, I introduced Queleon and told you a bit about why I started this journey. This issue is the one I promised: a proper look at how AI is reshaping integration — from what's actually happening under the hood, to the new breed of AI agents connecting to your systems, right through to what it means if you're running a smaller organisation. If you care about where your data goes, how your systems talk to each other, and how to use AI without losing the human touch, this one's for you.

Setting the Scene
Every newsletter needs an origin story — this is ours. In this first issue, I'm introducing Queleon: why I started it, what the name actually means, and a bit about the 26+ years in software and integration that led here. Whether you're a business owner or just curious where integration and AI are heading, I'd love for you to come along for the ride. The deeper dive into AI, integration, and why the human touch still matters is coming very soon in issue two. I'd love for you to join me on the journey.
