AI search across regulator complaints and oversight data
Customised Onyx deployment for a government oversight agency — natural-language search across investigation summaries, annual reports, media releases, and PowerBI complaints data.
Build what you can't get wrong — and use AI where it counts
We help governments, regulators and enterprises build, govern, and run the digital systems that hold up under real-world pressure — applying AI where it genuinely helps, not where it doesn't. End-to-end, or wherever you need a senior partner alongside your team.
How we help
Three ways we work, and the services under each. Every one of them links through to what it actually involves.
Advise
Independent advice before you commit — while changing your mind is still cheap.
Discovery, AI readiness, Due diligence, Procurement, Assurance, Accessibility audits.
Build
Engineering for systems that have to be right: auditable, accessible, defensible.
- Business applications — case management, eForms, registers, secure portals, secure file exchange
- Headless CMS & visual editing — public platforms, Inka integration, multilingual
- AI integration — onyx enterprise search, public AI answers, elastic, automation
Operate
Cyber Essentials–certified hosting, and a team that is still here in year eight.
Managed hosting, Accessibility audits, How we work with you.

Selected work
Multilingual AI search across a translated health corpus
Customised Onyx deployment for a national health body — AI search across translated medical resources, returning the right document in the language the user reads.
NSW Crime Commission
Long-running CMS-managed public website for an independent NSW investigative agency. PretaGov hosts, maintains and evolves the site.
Law Enforcement Conduct Commission (LECC)
Long-running partnership with the NSW oversight body for police misconduct — hosting, Plone CMS upgrades, and the 2022 rebuild onto the NSW Customer Service design system.
Modernising the 1862 Register: headless CMS for HM Land Registry
The register we built for HM Land Registry, re-platformed — a monolithic CMS split into Plone 6.1 Headless with a Next.js frontend, to meet WCAG 2.2 AA without a rebuild.
Scaling the platform behind a global sustainability standard: MSC
The Marine Stewardship Council’s platform carries a global certification standard to an international audience. We containerised it, upgraded its hosting and paid down its technical debt so it holds up under load.
How we engage
Fixed-price, time-and-materials, or staff augmentation — we shape the engagement to your timeline, budget, and how much of your team you want involved. End-to-end or alongside an in-house lead.
