Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

AIK Advisory is a legitimate, recently incorporated UK-based consultancy (Oct 2023) focusing on data governance and AI impact. However, the PoU score is severely impacted by the submission's lack of a scalable technology product and the inclusion of demonstrably false traction claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'everyone' as the target audience). The project name 'FrostStorm' appears unrelated to the description, suggesting a potential submission error. While the service offered is relevant to current market needs, it lacks the technical innovation and verified scale required for a high score.

Description
Keeping your data and technology well-ordered and safe. In today’s intense data-rich world, it is essential that you protect and manage your data using the same principles and concerns as you would for your people. Good management helps you to develop and leverage opportunities. Poor management creates significant risk. As companies push information into the Cloud, good data management is essential. And as AI devours any data it can find, the need becomes more acute than ever. At AIK Advisory, we provide advisory services on how to keep data safe, how to use it properly and how to avoid potential future issues. We offer Due Diligence services on data and technology, particularly to support risk management processes. Our ability to discuss with, and translate between, technical and non-technical teams and operate confidently from C-Suite to developer, means we deliver beyond technical solutions, ensuring good data management is embedded throughout an organisation. We have over 25 years of experience in building and managing data projects for large corporates in various roles, including, IT Director, Data Protection Officer, Data Security and design and management of Data Transformation projects.
