The connector was the easy part.
Vorkane removes the limits on what your agents are allowed to do. Most teams never reach those limits, because nobody has shown them how to work this way. So I show them, on their own live work.
The real ceiling
Everyone has the tools. Almost nobody has been taught.
Your team was handed a chat box and left to work it out. So they use it like a search engine with better manners, and the good week somebody has with it never becomes how the firm works.
Embedding with a team to build what they need is only worth doing if the team can then use it. So the building and the teaching are the same job, and I sell them as one.
Relative output at equal experience. My estimate, and I'm the proof
What we cover
Four things, and the first one matters most.
The habits that separate a team getting real work out of an agent from one getting confident paragraphs.
- Learn how to talk to an agent. Clear instructions, the right context and a definition of finished. Then making it repeatable: the ways your firm works, packaged as skills an agent can be handed, like one that grills a plan for gaps before you commit to it. Four minutes of briefing beats an afternoon of re-rolling. The spine of the programme
- Where your firm's knowledge lives. Project folders, what belongs in one and what doesn't, and keeping your own material somewhere the agent can reach. Including using a GitHub repository as a working store, which is unfamiliar ground for most fund teams and worth the hour. The firm's memory
- Knowing when not to use it. Which jobs are worse with an agent, how to spot a confident wrong answer before it reaches a partner, and what should never leave the firm at all. This builds more trust than any demo, and your compliance person will want to hear it. Where the trust gets built
- What it costs to run. Why an agentic loop burns multiples of what a chat costs, what drives the bill, and how to keep a team's usage sane. I've written publicly on this. Most people find out when the invoice arrives. Ahead of the invoice
How it works
Your live work on screen, and no slides.
There are no slides unless you ask for them. We put your own work through the tools together and watch the output land.
- Booked by the day£1,000 each at the founding rate, down from my usual £1,500. How many depends on the team, and the syllabus is written for your firm after a free discovery call. One day is often enough to change how people brief; a team starting from nothing usually wants two or three.
- Built on live jobsI sit with what your firm is working on this month and we build the habits on top of it, including skills I've already hand-built, like the deck analysis on the home page, tuned to your thesis.
- Then someone to askHabits drift back without anyone to check. That's what the ongoing fractional CTO days are for, and most of their value lands in the ten minutes after somebody hits a wall rather than in a scheduled session.
Who it's for
Everyone in the firm, at their own altitude.
Everyone in a fund needs this, and nobody needs the same version of it. The syllabus is written for your firm after a free discovery call, and it splits naturally in two.
- Partners. What to ask for, what to expect back, and what judgement looks like with an agent in the loop: when to trust a confident answer, when to demand the sources, and what should never leave the firm. The most valuable hours in the programme.
- Analysts and associates. Production: briefs, projects, context and cost, built on the volume work that fills their week. This is where most of the days go, because this is where most of the work is.
It works with or without Vorkane installed, on the agents you already pay for. Claude and Codex are both supported: installed, tested and kept working.
FAQ
Questions you'd ask on the call.
Can't my team just watch videos?
They can, and some of them are good. What a video can't do is look at the brief your associate wrote on Tuesday and tell them why it produced rubbish.
The gap between knowing the features and working well is almost entirely made of specifics, and specifics need someone looking at your work.
What does it cost?
One day of it sits inside the £2,000 Vorkane setup fee, so if you're installing the connector you get it either way.
Beyond that it's £1,000 a day at the founding rate, down from my usual £1,500, and how many days depends on the size of the team and how far along they already are. Same rate if you never install Vorkane at all.
Most firms keep a day or two of fractional CTO time a month afterwards. That's what stops the habits drifting back, and it's a conversation for later.
How long before it shows?
The briefing habit lands in the first session, and it's the starter. The main course is learning to run projects alongside agents: where the work should live, how to manage a context window, and what a token costs.
One day raises a team's output. Two or three days of intensive work change how a firm operates. My estimate: one highly trained associate outputs the work of two or three untrained AI users of the same experience, and of five or more who aren't using it at all.
The numbers sound high, and I'm the proof of them. I run a whole venture portfolio solo, with most of it automated to completion. My job now is maintenance, management and relationships.
Is this just prompt engineering?
No. Everyone in your firm can read and write; that doesn't make them authors. Typing a prompt is the same distance from getting dependable work out of an agent.
All of it is self-teachable, given the hours of a very good software engineer spent building and running real projects until you've learned where agents break. Nobody at a fund has those hours spare. I've already spent them.

Tell me what they're using it for now and where it's going wrong, and I'll tell you whether this is worth your money.
If you're already a Vorkane client, the first day is inside the setup fee, so it costs you nothing to start.
