Anonymised case studies from AI Readiness Audits, Strategy Sprints, and Governance Retainers delivered to Australian businesses across financial services, professional services, healthcare, and technology.
Case study 01 · AI Readiness Audit
Financial services firm — Sydney, NSW
50–100 staffAFSL holder2 weeks
The challenge
This firm was using AI tools in client document preparation and staff scheduling without a written AI policy. Their board had recently asked the CEO to confirm Privacy Act compliance — and couldn't.
What we found
Three Privacy Act ADM compliance gaps — AI was influencing staff performance assessments and client risk profiling without disclosure. Two vendor agreements contained no data sovereignty clauses. No AI Use Policy existed.
The outcome
Full AI Maturity Scorecard, Ethics Gap Report, ADM mapping, vendor due diligence recommendations, and a 90-day roadmap. CEO presented the board pack within three weeks of delivery. Board approved AI investment.
"The audit paid for itself before we'd finished reading the report." — CEO
Case study 02 · AI Strategy Sprint
Professional services firm — Melbourne, VIC
100–200 staffLegal & consulting6 weeks
The challenge
Two years of AI experimentation across 11 different tools, no coherent strategy, and a board increasingly asking about liability exposure. Multiple proof-of-concept pilots stalled with no path to production.
What we delivered
Full AI Strategy Sprint: governance framework, 5 use case business cases with AUD ROI projections, PoC scope for the priority use case, and a 30-slide board presentation. Audit fee credited in full.
The outcome
Board approved AI investment of $320K within two weeks of receiving the strategy document. The firm moved to a Governance Retainer (Professional tier) for ongoing compliance monitoring.
"We'd been doing pilots for two years. Blamphs turned that into a board-approved strategy in six weeks." — CTO
Case study 03 · Governance Retainer
Fintech startup — Brisbane, QLD
20–50 staffAFSL · PaymentsOngoing retainer
The challenge
Fast-growing fintech using AI in fraud detection and customer risk scoring. APRA CPS 230 obligations, ASIC AI guidance, and upcoming Privacy Act ADM changes all creating compliance uncertainty. Head of Compliance was overwhelmed.
What we deliver monthly
Professional retainer (8 hrs/month): monthly governance report, regulatory watch briefing, quarterly board AI pack, AI model risk register maintenance, policy updates, and same-day advisory support.
The outcome
Head of Compliance has a monthly governance report to present to the board. All ADM obligations mapped and documented for December 2026 deadline. Model risk register maintained with no gaps. Two APRA-related vendor agreements renegotiated.
"The monthly retainer means I'm not constantly worried about whether we're compliant." — Head of Compliance
