Advisory Services

Technical Product Stewardship

Fractional CTO for organisations without an in-house technology lead.

Jura Labs acts as your technical lead: reviewing vendor proposals, joining agency standups, providing written feedback on architecture decisions, and being available for ad-hoc calls. Built production systems for ActionAid International, the NHS, and Bliss.

AI Readiness Assessment

Before adopting AI, understand where you actually stand.

76% of UK charities now use AI tools, but only 2% have a strategy for it. Jura Labs provides a structured, honest assessment: where AI can genuinely help, where the risks sit, and what you need to do before adopting anything. Not a sales pitch. An independent evaluation.

Technology Stack Audit

Know what you are paying for, where your data actually lives, and what happens if a platform changes the rules.

Most charities and non-profits run on a patchwork of SaaS tools adopted over years without a strategic review. Subscription costs creep upward. Data sits in US-hosted platforms with terms of service that change without notice. Social media channels you depend on for outreach can alter their algorithms or pricing overnight.

Jura Labs audits your entire technology stack: what each tool costs, where it stores data, what jurisdiction governs it, what happens if the vendor is acquired or changes terms, and whether ethical, EU-hosted, or open-source alternatives exist that do the same job for less.

Getting Started with ROOTED

Half-day workshop for charities who need to measure their carbon footprint but do not know where to start. Walk through setup, your first reporting period, and communicating results to funders. No carbon accounting expertise required. Just bring your energy bills.

AI Readiness for Leadership Teams

Full-day facilitated session for boards and senior leadership. Covers where AI is already in your organisation, what the risks are, what the EU AI Act means for you, and how to build a realistic plan. Includes a pre-workshop survey and written summary.

Content Protection with Jura Trace

Half-day workshop for museums, archives, newsrooms, and cultural organisations. Covers C2PA content credentials, why they matter, and how to use Jura Trace to sign, verify, and watermark your digital assets. Hands-on: bring sample images and leave with signed, verified files.

Carbon Reporting at Scale

Designed and scaled the world's largest carbon calculator, Creative Climate Tools, for the cultural sector at Julie's Bicycle, used by over 2,000 organisations.

International Development and Peacebuilding

Designed and delivered the complete technology platform for the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre in Vietnam, serving 140 international aid agencies including UN, Oxfam, and EU delegations. CRM, web publishing, and sector communications built entirely on open source at zero licensing cost. Earlier work at International Alert, developing digital communications tools and full stack infrastructure for peacebuilding programmes in conflict-affected regions.

From Server Rooms to Strategy

Before any of this: enterprise IT. Building and maintaining servers in a managed data centre, configuring network infrastructure, and providing frontline support across education, legal, insurance, and banking. Twenty-five years later, that hands-on background still shapes how Jura Labs approaches every recommendation. The advice starts from how things actually work, not how a slide deck says they should.
