Looked at the services pricing — and I want to be very clear: excellent value

Good man, Bernard. Now, about the coding tools -- the Claude Code approach. Humphrey, your assessment?

The coding environment represents a paradigm shift in how web properties are developed. Previously, one required either substantial technical expertise or substantial budget to engage developers possessing such expertise. The current tooling renders both requirements partially obsolete.

Partially obsolete. Meaning you still need some skill, but much less than before. The AI handles the technical complexity while the human provides direction. Like a minister and a department, really.

A dangerously accurate analogy, Bernard. One which I shall pretend I did not hear. The point is that the Blueprint codifies the workflow into a repeatable process. Even junior staff could follow it.

Junior staff following a process to produce professional results. Humphrey, you just described the ideal government department. If only we could get the civil service to adopt this approach.

The civil service has been adopting AI tools, Minister. Slowly, carefully, and with seventeen committees reviewing each deployment. By the time the committees conclude their deliberations, the technology will have advanced three generations.
