About Augurpoint
We are the AI advisory arm of the CETSAT Group, a managed IT, cybersecurity and bespoke software development provider of more than 25 years. We help UK businesses adopt AI safely and profitably.
Why “Augurpoint”
An augur was the Roman official whose job was to read the signs correctly, not to guess enthusiastically. They looked at real evidence and gave an honest forecast, even when the honest answer was “not yet” or “no”. That is closer to what we think AI advisory should be: reading what is actually happening in your business, rather than repeating what a vendor deck says should happen.
The “point” is the other half of the job. Not a vague direction of travel, but a specific, actionable recommendation: the point at which you have enough evidence to act, and the point past which you would just be speculating.
25+ years of CETSAT managed IT, cybersecurity and software development
CETSAT has provided managed IT, cybersecurity and bespoke software development services to UK businesses for more than 25 years. Long before AI made custom development fashionable again, our engineers were building bespoke line-of-business systems and integrations that had to work, first time, in production, for real UK companies. We built our reputation on honest advice, proper implementation, and support that shows up when needed.
Our clients range from professional services and manufacturing to technology companies and public sector organisations. The common thread: they want technology that works, delivered by people who understand their business.
Why we started an AI company
In 2023 and 2024, we watched our clients diving off in different directions with AI. Some bought expensive enterprise licences they did not need. Others ignored it entirely while their staff used personal ChatGPT accounts for work that involved client data.
The pattern was familiar: new technology, genuine productivity gains, no governance, mounting risk. The question was not whether AI was useful. It was whether adoption would be managed or unmanaged.
We started Augurpoint to help businesses move from unmanaged to managed: a sensible policy, the right tools in the right hands, and a plan that expands only where the evidence supports it.
How we work
We are practitioners. We build with these tools daily. Every piece of advice comes from work we have done, problems we have fixed, and mistakes we have made.
We are specification-first. We do not start work until we understand what success looks like, who owns the decision, and how we will measure value. Vague projects produce vague results.
We give value first. Our AI Readiness Score is free. Our policy template is free. We will tell you if the best first step is fixing your data, not buying AI. If you do not get value from the conversation, we have failed.
