62% of UK legal professionals use AI.
29% of firms have deployed it
The tools exist. The pilots ran. The business case was approved.
And then nothing happened. The prototype sat in staging. The team went back to doing it manually. The consultancy delivered a deck and moved on.
This is the gap Formulaic fills. We don't advise on AI — we build production systems and embed alongside your team until they're running without us.
The difference between a pilot and a P&L impact is someone who ships.

Operators, not advisors
Formulaic is led by Andy Lackie, who has spent 12+ years building growth systems for businesses — not advising on them.
He's shipped 100+ production AI systems across the firm's client portfolio (legal, accounting, advisory, consulting, financial services, property, marketplace operations). Eleven case studies are named below; the rest sit under NDA. Examples: a tax-return pipeline recovering £580k/yr in partner time for a 12-partner UK accountancy. A precedent-library RAG returning £1.2M/yr in analyst time at a transatlantic strategy firm. An ML-scored office-expansion engine that drove £3.4M in attributable first-year revenue for a UK accountancy network. An AI creative pipeline producing compliant ad images at 1,000× lower cost than an agency.
Before Formulaic, he scaled Hydropool UK from £600k to £2.5M as a fractional growth lead and ran growth at a global storage marketplace operating across 100+ locations including major US cities (New York, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago). Formulaic is what happens when an operator with P&L accountability gets access to production AI tooling.
