Applied AI expertise & research for SMEs.
AI-Ready audits, data infrastructure, custom agents. For executives who want to move from POC to production.
In 2026, virtually every SME uses generative AI on a daily basis. Yet almost none have connected it to their own data. The result is the same everywhere: generic answers, hollow agents, data siloed across Drive, CRM, mail and invoices.
The
bottleneck
isn't
the
model
choice.
The
bottleneck
is :
how
to
make
an
SME's
data
usable
by
AI,
in
a
contextual,
secure
and
maintainable
way.
LinkTec
Labs
answers
that
bottleneck.
From diagnosis to deployment, through to long-term advisory.
Every Labs engagement follows the same rigorous protocol — from diagnosis to continuous optimisation.
Map the data, identify quick-ROI use cases, measure AI maturity.
Build the data layer: ingestion, vector database, connectors, custom agents.
Deploy to production: agent orchestration, business integrations, continuous monitoring.
Measure, adjust, evolve: KPI steering, prompt A/B testing, continuous R&D.
LinkTec Labs combines a university background in artificial intelligence & data with hands-on experience in robotics and AI research laboratories.
This dual culture — academic and operational — brings to SME problems the same methods proven in research: rigorous modelling, experimental validation, documented architecture choices.

A maturity framework designed to help SME executives benchmark themselves against their sector — and know exactly where to act first.
An AI-Ready audit is a structured diagnostic of an SME's AI maturity across 6 dimensions: data, processes, tools, governance, skills and culture. It results in a 30 to 50-page report including an AI-Ready score, a data mapping, a prioritised list of 5 to 10 quick-ROI use cases and a 6/12/24-month implementation roadmap. The goal is not to sell a solution — it's to provide a clear view of the current state and action priorities.
A traditional AI consultant delivers strategic recommendations without building the system behind them. LinkTec Labs combines both: the audit leads to concrete technical deliverables (ingestion pipelines, vector databases, custom agents) that can be put into production by the Labs team itself. Diagnosis and execution are handled by the same technical capability — not a consultant handing off to an integrator.
No. The vast majority of SMEs hold unstructured data (Drive, mail, invoices, partial CRM, Word documents, manual exports). The AI-Ready audit specifically includes the mapping and quality assessment of these sources. Level 2 (data layer) then builds the ingestion and contextualisation pipeline to make this data usable by AI — without requiring a full IT overhaul.
Yes. When the engagement involves access to internal or sensitive data, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is signed before any document exchange. For a smoother start, it is also possible to work initially on a restricted scope or on anonymised data. In all cases, access to information is strictly limited to the operational needs of the engagement, logged, and the data is returned or deleted at its end.
An audit does not guarantee ROI — it identifies the use cases where ROI is probable and prioritises them according to implementation effort. Each retained use case is documented with its expected gain hypothesis, estimated implementation cost and success conditions. Actual ROI is measured later, once in production — not before. This transparency around uncertainty is part of the research-driven approach: nothing is promised that cannot be measured.
Three possible next steps, with no commitment: (1) the audit stands on its own — the executive uses it to steer internal decisions; (2) data layer implementation (level 2) — building the infrastructure and first agents over 6 to 12 weeks; (3) a monthly retainer (level 3) — long-term support with AI watch and targeted R&D. The choice is made after reading the report — not under the pressure of a sales signature.
