Comparison
The models are excellent. The missing piece is the system around them.
ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini are powerful. Gamma and Canva can make attractive content quickly. Solutions Engine is for the harder repeatable problem: turning governed company knowledge into finished work across a team, without rebuilding the process for every brief.
Stop buying another AI seat for every person who may need it. Pay for the finished pages your team produces.
| What you need | Solutions Engine | General assistants & office copilots |
|---|---|---|
| How the team is charged | No per-seat AI charge. Plans include team access where offered; usage is measured in finished pages, from 27p a page. | Microsoft, Google and most general AI products are commonly licensed per person, per month—before the work itself is finished. |
| Where company knowledge lives | A governed, shared knowledge layer: brand, voice, rules, assets, evidence and accepted learning. | Useful context, but commonly spread across chats, files, projects and individual instructions. |
| Where the work runs | A secure remote workshop for each teammate and project. Start the job, close the laptop, return when it is ready. | Usually a conversation or an assistant embedded in the office tool already open. |
| What comes back | A live pitch, proposal, board pack, tender, canvas or site—editable, shareable and exportable. | A strong answer or draft; the final assembly and continuity often remain with you. |
| How quality is controlled | Specialists research, author and review against the same sources and house rules before hand-back. | Quality depends on the conversation, supplied context and the review process you create around it. |
| What survives the run | The output, its sources, versions and approved learning remain connected. HTML/JSX outputs outlast engine upgrades. | The transcript and exported file remain; the production system around them is yours to maintain. |
What it really costs
Pay for output, not for adding to your cost base.
A seat licence is a fixed cost that grows with headcount — paid every month, for every person, whether they produce anything or not. Page pricing is a variable cost that only grows when finished work comes out. Drag the numbers to your team and see the difference.
Solutions Engine cost uses the cheapest real plan and top-up combination for that volume — the same prices on our pricing page.
Paid in full even in the months nobody produces anything.
Scales with the work actually produced. A quiet month costs almost nothing.
That's £8148 a year not spent on licences that sit idle.
Each licensed person would need to produce more than ~51 finished pages a month, every single month, to get the same value from a seat licence.
10 → 2
Of ten people licensed for a typical AI assistant, two use it heavily. The other eight seats are a monthly donation.
Everyone
With output pricing you can invite the whole team. Nobody counts seats before asking a colleague to build something.
£0
The cost of a quiet month beyond your plan. No renegotiating licences when headcount changes or a project ends.
Use the tool you already have
For quick drafting, summarising a file, changing a slide or answering a question, ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini may be exactly right. We use frontier models too.
Use Solutions Engine when the work must compound
When several people need to produce high-stakes work from the same knowledge, voice, evidence and brand—and the next output should inherit what the last one taught the company.
One company brain
Knowledge does not live in one person's subscription.
A workshop each
Every teammate gets isolated space to run real work.
