Built by an engineer,
for engineers

Hindsight Intelligence was founded by a Senior Project Engineer with 17+ years in UK water and energy infrastructure — not by an AI startup looking for a problem to solve.

17 years of infrastructure delivery. One recurring problem.

I have spent my career delivering water and energy infrastructure projects — first in Nigeria's oil and gas sector, then across UK water utilities. Over those 17 years, I kept encountering the same frustrating reality: the knowledge to prevent problems already existed, but nobody could find it.

"Post-project reviews were filed. Lessons were written. And then completely ignored on the next project."

I watched experienced engineers retire and take decades of hard-won knowledge with them. I saw contractors repeat the exact same mistakes because nobody had a system to surface what had gone wrong before. I saw AMP cycles repeat the same cost overruns, the same permit delays, the same contractor failures — documented in reports that nobody read.

In 2024, I began working on a solution. Not as an AI researcher looking for a problem, but as a Senior Project Engineer in UK water infrastructure who had lived the problem for nearly two decades. ProjectHindsight is the platform I wished I had had on every project I ever managed.

In Winter 2025, the Institute of Water published an article I wrote on AI-driven project knowledge management — validating that this is a recognised, sector-wide need. In 2026, Hindsight Intelligence Ltd was incorporated and the platform went live.

I hold an MSc in Construction Project Management (Distinction) from the University of Portsmouth and am an Emerging Professional member of the Institute of Water. This is not a generic SaaS startup. It is infrastructure expertise applied to an infrastructure problem.

To end the cycle of repeat project mistakes in UK infrastructure

Every year, the same mistakes are made on infrastructure projects across the UK — costing billions and delaying critical national assets. The knowledge to prevent them already exists. It just isn't accessible.

Our mission is to build the infrastructure for institutional knowledge — so that every project team in every organisation can benefit from what was learned before them.

Domain expertise first
We are not an AI company that discovered infrastructure. We are infrastructure professionals who built an AI platform. Every design decision reflects real operational experience.
Human-in-the-loop by design
In regulated industries, auditability and human oversight are not optional. Our platform keeps your team in control — AI does the heavy lifting, people make the decisions.
Privacy and trust above all
ICO registered. UK-hosted. GDPR compliant by design. We treat your organisation's project knowledge with the same confidentiality you would expect from a trusted engineering partner.

Built on a foundation of trust

Want to talk to the founder directly?

I am always happy to speak with infrastructure professionals who share the same frustrations I had. No sales pitch — a genuine conversation about the problem and whether ProjectHindsight can help.
