About Littlerock

Littlerock is built around a simple belief:

AI adoption and enterprise modernisation should be evaluated on their economics, not their hype — and pursued safely, practically, and incrementally.

What We Do

Littlerock works with organisations across two connected areas:

AI Development Economics — helping leaders understand where AI investment actually pays off, using a structured evaluation framework rather than guesswork.
Enterprise Modernisation — helping organisations connect legacy and mission-critical systems, including IBM i, to modern AI tools safely, through our IBM Bob Advisory Services.

Together, these help organisations make confident, well-founded decisions about AI — and then act on them without unnecessary risk.

AI Development Economics Framework™

A structured way to evaluate the cost, risk, and return of AI initiatives — before you invest, not after.

The Problem

Most organisations approach AI adoption with enthusiasm but without a consistent way to weigh it up. Initiatives get funded on momentum rather than merit, and it’s often only after significant spend that the real costs, risks, and returns become clear.

What the Framework Does

The AI Development Economics Framework™ gives leaders a structured, repeatable way to assess AI initiatives across the factors that actually determine whether they’re worth pursuing:
