Company · Why McLeuker

Advice from people who had to make it work.

Every recommendation on this site is something we have already had to get running in production, on our own platform, in this industry.

The short answer

We are not advisers who read about agentic AI. We designed, built and operate McLeuker AI - a multi-agent platform for fashion, running in production. That is where the consulting comes from: every recommendation is something we have already had to make work.

What you are choosing between

Four real options. This is where each one stops.

Each of these is the right answer for somebody. The line that matters is not which is best, it is which boundary you are going to run into first.

  • A strategy consultancy

    Good at

    Frames the problem, sizes the prize, and gets the board aligned. Genuinely hard work, and often the reason a programme gets funded at all.

    Stops at

    Hands over a deck. The system it describes still has to be built by somebody who has built one before.

  • A systems integrator

    Good at

    Ships. Knows how to land software inside an enterprise, through procurement, security review and change management.

    Stops at

    Wires up somebody else’s product. The fashion domain — how a BOM behaves, what a tech pack omits, why a season locks when it does — arrives as a requirements document rather than as knowledge.

  • Your own engineering team

    Good at

    Owns the outcome permanently, knows your data, and never has to be re-briefed on the business.

    Stops at

    Pays the whole learning curve once, in-house, on a moving frontier. The first year is spent discovering what does not work.

  • A generalist AI agency

    Good at

    Fast, current, and comfortable with the tooling. Good at demos that make the possibility concrete.

    Stops at

    Has no fashion context layer, so every engagement rebuilds one from scratch — and a pilot that cannot read a tech pack does not survive contact with production.

What is behind it

The platform is not a reference. It is the day job.

109

tools in the runtime

Not a directory listing. The registry the platform actually loads.

222

skills built

Each one a capability an agent can be handed, versioned in the platform repo.

171

of them fashion-specific

The context layer that a general-purpose agent has to be given and cannot infer.

Counted from the platform’s own manifest on 2026-08-21, not asserted. Re-run the count rather than adjusting a number by hand.

The obvious objection

“So the advice is a route into your product.”

It would be, if there were one door. There are three, and only the middle one ends on our platform.

  • Diagnose

    Four weeks, fixed fee

    A ranked map of what is worth automating, and what is not. You can stop here.

  • Deploy

    Thirty days onto McLeuker AI, then retained

    Your operation loaded onto agents that already know the fashion domain.

  • Build

    Twelve weeks and up, in your infrastructure, IP transferred

    The architecture that runs McLeuker AI, constructed inside your own stack.
