Project-9
Engineering. Systems. Assurance.
Technical, intelligence, operational and assurance requirements where specialist analysis or implementation is required.
Overview
Technical Services
5 capability groups · 21 services
Project-9 is where analysis becomes something that runs. The practice covers intelligence production, applied AI, software and security engineering, process and production improvement, and the quality systems that regulated manufacturing depends on.
Engagements are scoped against a stated technical requirement and closed against a stated technical result. Where a requirement falls outside current practitioner capability, we say so before the work starts rather than after.
Intelligence and AI
5 servicesStructured information work: what to collect, how to verify it, and how to turn it into something a decision can rest on.
AI Data Curation and Collection
Build the information foundation required for reliable AI systems by defining relevant sources, collection requirements, structure and data quality.
Small Language Models
Assess and deploy purpose-built language-model approaches where a narrower task, controlled information environment or defined risk tolerance makes them appropriate.
OSINT and Research Operations
Design structured open-source research operations focused on producing decision-relevant intelligence rather than unfiltered information.
Procurement and Market Intelligence
Develop structured intelligence on supplier, competitor, technology and market conditions before procurement or strategic decisions are required.
Quantum Security Advisory
Assess how post-quantum transition may affect cryptographic infrastructure and determine where readiness work should begin.
Engineering
3 servicesSoftware, platforms and security controls built against defined business and operational requirements.
Software Development
Design and deliver software systems that are robust, maintainable and fit for purpose.
Web Development
Build digital platforms and web systems around defined business and operational requirements.
Cyber Security Engineering
Design and implement security controls appropriate to the technical and operational environment.
Operational Excellence and Process Engineering
5 servicesLean, Six Sigma and process-engineering methods applied to production and operating environments.
Lean Manufacturing Implementation
Reduce waste and improve flow across the production system.
Six Sigma and Root Cause Analysis
Identify the causes of defects and recurring failure rather than repeatedly treating symptoms.
Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Identify potential failure modes and prioritise preventive action before they become production failures.
Preventive Maintenance Programme Design
Design maintenance structures intended to reduce avoidable equipment failure and improve operational continuity.
Material Flow and Production Layout Optimisation
Improve physical flow, throughput and efficiency through layout and movement analysis.
Aerospace and Defence Technical Advisory
4 servicesTechnical advisory across avionics, aerospace supply chains, defence procurement and standards compliance.
Avionics and Electrical Systems Advisory

Defence Procurement Technical Advisory
Bring technical evaluation into procurement and supplier-selection decisions.
Standards Compliance Advisory
Support organisations interpreting, implementing and maintaining sector-specific standards.
Quality Management Systems
4 servicesImplementation, audit and corrective action in quality-management systems where current practitioner capability applies.
ISO 9001:2015 Implementation and Audit
Build and strengthen quality-management systems aligned with ISO 9001:2015.
AS9100 Rev D Implementation and Audit
Support aerospace quality-management systems against AS9100 Rev D requirements.
Nadcap Special Process Advisory
Support organisations preparing for and maintaining Nadcap approval across applicable special-process environments.
QMS Audit Support and Corrective Action
Identify non-conformances, establish causes and strengthen the management system through corrective action.
