The intelligence
behind your empire.

We audit operations for sports, media, events, and premium travel organisations — then build AI systems that permanently remove the manual layer. Not a strategy deck. A running system.

The Problem

Your operation has outgrown
its manual processes.

The team is skilled. The operation is complex. But the coordination layer — the scheduling, the chasing, the reporting, the briefing — is still done by humans who should be doing something else.

01

Hours lost to manual coordination

Credential management. Sponsor briefings. Post-event reports. Supplier coordination. Guest communications. Manual processes that nobody has ever formally audited — but everyone feels the weight of every week.

02

The cost is invisible

Nobody tracks it. It gets absorbed into the culture as "how things work here." Manual processes rarely appear on a budget line — which is exactly why they persist. The audit makes the invisible visible.

03

Everyone else is fixing it

The organisations that built the right systems first aren't talking about it publicly. They're just running cleaner, faster, and at lower cost. The gap compounds every quarter you wait.

Built for organisations at scale

We build what we sell.
We sell what we use.

Saharaï is our own premium travel operation — and our live proof engine. Before we offer any system to a client, we build and run it ourselves. Every automation, every workflow, every process we implement has been tested in a real operation first. Not a whitepaper. Not a demo environment. A running business.

How We Work

Three ways to engage.
One place to start.

Every engagement begins with the Intelligence Audit. We map your operation before we recommend anything. No guesswork. No overselling. Just a precise diagnostic — and then you decide what happens next.

01
Intelligence Audit
A 7-day async operational diagnostic. We map your workflows, identify every process losing time and money, produce a ranked opportunity list with ROI projections, and deliver a 90-day implementation roadmap. This is where every engagement starts — and where you see exactly what's recoverable before committing to anything further.
  • Complete workflow diagnostic
  • Ranked automation opportunities by impact
  • ROI projection per opportunity
  • 90-day implementation roadmap
  • Executive summary — board-ready
  • Delivered within 7 business days
£2,500 Entry point. No calls required.
02
Intelligence Retainer
An ongoing AI operations partnership. We become a permanent intelligence layer inside your operation — building automations, deploying systems, and optimising continuously. Two new systems built per month. Monthly operations report. Async support. Quarterly strategic review. The operation runs cleaner every month we're in it.
  • 2 new automations or workflow systems per month
  • Full integration with your existing tools
  • Monthly AI Operations Report
  • Async support channel — no calls required
  • Quarterly strategic review
  • 6-month minimum engagement
£8,500/mo 6-month minimum
03
Intelligence Transformation
A full-stack operational rebuild. We don't add AI to your business — we rebuild your operations around it. Deep discovery, complete architecture, multiple system builds across all priority workflows, team training, documentation, and a 6-month post-build retainer included. The operation you come out with is structurally different from the one you started with.
  • Deep operational discovery across all departments
  • Full AI operations architecture and blueprint
  • Priority automation builds — phased delivery
  • Integration across your full tool stack
  • Internal team training and SOPs
  • 6-month post-build retainer included
£35,000+ scoped per engagement

How It Works

No calls required
to start.

The entire process runs in writing, at your pace. We work — you review when you're ready.

1

Complete the intake

A 12-minute questionnaire about your operation — your team, your tools, your manual processes, your priorities. No calls, no prep required. This is all we need to start.

2

We map your operation

Over 7 business days, we audit your workflows against what you've told us. We identify every recoverable hour, cost it at your loaded team rate, and rank the opportunities by impact.

3

You receive the audit

A premium Notion document — ranked opportunity list, ROI projections, 90-day roadmap, executive summary. Everything you need to make a decision. Nothing you don't.

4

You decide what's next

No pressure. No pipeline games. The audit stands alone as a deliverable. If you want to proceed to a retainer or transformation, we'll propose it. If not, you leave with a clear roadmap.

Async by design. Not by necessity.

We don't run calls because we don't need to. Everything that matters can be captured in writing — with more precision and less noise than a 45-minute video call. If you want a call at some stage, that's available. But you'll never need one.

The Name

"She built an empire not from visibility, but from intelligence — the mind behind the throne."

Zaynab is named after Zaynab an-Nafzawiyya — the political architect behind the Almoravid Empire, and the force behind the founding of Marrakech. She exercised real power without public spectacle. Strategic. Precise. Invisible in exactly the right ways. That is what we do for organisations that operate at scale: provide the intelligence layer that makes everything else possible — permanently, quietly, and without requiring you to hand us a stage.

FAQ

Questions
we get a lot.

  • We work exclusively with operations-heavy organisations in five verticals: sports rights holders and federations, broadcast and media production companies, live events and experiential production, luxury travel operators and DMCs, and premium hospitality groups. If your organisation doesn't fall into one of these categories, we're probably not the right fit — and we'll tell you that honestly rather than waste your time.
  • A premium Notion document containing: a ranked list of 5–10 AI integration opportunities specific to your operation (by impact and implementation complexity), an ROI projection for each opportunity, a 90-day sequenced implementation roadmap, and a one-page executive summary ready for board or leadership review. Delivered within 7 business days of your intake form completion. No calls required at any stage.
  • Strategy consultancies produce recommendations. We produce a ranked, costed, sequenced action plan based on your actual workflows — not a generic framework applied to your sector. The audit is designed to be executed, not filed. And at £2,500 for a 7-day async diagnostic, it costs a fraction of what a Big 4 junior team would charge for an equivalent discovery phase.
  • No. We design, build, integrate, and document everything. You don't need a developer, a technical lead, or any internal AI expertise. Everything we build integrates with your existing tools — your CRM, scheduling software, comms platforms, whatever you already use. We document it so your team can maintain it after handover. If anything breaks, the retainer covers ongoing support.
  • Because meaningful operational change takes longer than 30 days. Month 1 builds the foundation. Month 2–3 refines and expands. Month 4–6 compounds. Clients who leave after 2 months have a running system but haven't seen the compounding effect of continuous optimisation. The 6-month minimum protects both parties — you get real outcomes, not a surface-level installation.
  • We'll tell you. If your operation is genuinely lean and the audit doesn't surface meaningful ROI, we say so clearly in the document — and we don't pitch a retainer. The commitment is to honest findings, not to generating a sales outcome from every engagement. The audit is a diagnostic, not a sales process.
  • The Intelligence Audit is paid in full upfront at £2,500. The Retainer is invoiced monthly at the start of each billing cycle. Transformation engagements are scoped individually — typically 50% upfront and 50% on completion of the build phase. We invoice in GBP. Bank transfer preferred. Payments processed via Revolut Business.
  • Completely. We treat all client information with strict confidentiality. We never share, reference, or disclose your operational data to third parties. If you require a formal NDA before sharing sensitive information, request one — we'll provide it immediately before the intake process begins. Confidentiality isn't a clause we add on request; it's how we operate by default.
  • Three things. First, vertical specificity — we only work in sports, media, events, luxury travel, and premium hospitality. We understand the operational nuances of a sports federation, a broadcast company, and a luxury DMC in a way that a generalist AI agency doesn't. Second, Saharaï — we built this for our own luxury travel operation before we offered it to anyone else. We're not theorists. Third, async-first — the entire process runs in writing. No calls, no scheduling, no friction.
