An operations research lab

We turn your hardest probleminto your strongest advantage.

Manthle solves the operational, AI, technology and growth problems large organisations cannot solve internally. Senior operators embedded in your business, multiplied by agents we build ourselves. Quarters of work, delivered in weeks.

01The brief

No two clients meet the same Manthle.

The hard problems sit between categories. Too custom for vendors, too hands-on for consultancies. That is the work we take.

The firm re-forms around each engagement. The standard does not. The people who design the answer build it.

Step one

You hire Manthle.

Step two

Manthle assembles the operating team the problem needs.

Step three

Manthle owns the contract, the delivery and the accountability.

02Who we work with

Large institutions. Expensive problems.

Organisations

Enterprises at Fortune 500 scale
PE-backed companies under a value-creation plan
Regulated operators working to a fixed compliance date
Institutions carrying decades of legacy systems
Companies whose AI pilots have not reached production
Operations scaling faster than headcount can follow

If the problem is small enough to hand to a single vendor, we are the wrong firm. We take the ones that have already defeated one.

03The problems

The impossible usually has a shape.

The problem

Core systems nobody will touch, and every replacement program has stalled before cutover. The knowledge lives with four people.

What Manthle does

We map what the system actually does, build the replacement path in working software, and run both in parallel until the switch is safe.

The result

The migration completes instead of stalling, and the process is documented rather than remembered.

The problem

The proof of concept passed. Production never happened, because the pilot never had to survive real data, real volume or real users.

What Manthle does

We rebuild it as a production workflow, with the retrieval, evaluation and human checkpoints the demo skipped.

The result

AI moves from demonstration to measurable business impact.

The problem

Throughput depends on individuals. The process lives in their heads and the risk sits on your balance sheet.

What Manthle does

We document the real process, automate the mechanical part, and hand the rest to a named owner with a written operating model.

The result

The operation runs to a standard rather than to a person.

The problem

The date will not move. The backlog is a decade deep and nobody will commit to a plan that lands on it.

What Manthle does

We work the deadline backwards, cut scope to what actually satisfies the requirement, and staff it to hit the date.

The result

The obligation is met on the date, with the evidence trail the regulator asks for.

The problem

Your vendor process screens out the small senior teams who could do the work, and admits only firms large enough to survive the paperwork.

What Manthle does

Manthle holds the contract, carries the insurance and clears the security review. The senior team sits behind that vendor record.

The result

Boutique delivery through a supplier procurement can actually approve.

The problem

It crosses three functions, so it belongs to none of them, and it has survived every reorganisation so far.

What Manthle does

We take ownership of the whole path, rebuild it end to end, and run it until a named owner inside your business takes it back.

The result

One accountable owner, one working process, and a documented handover.

05Selected work

Three engagements, start to finish.

Waste-to-energy · $3B operator

$12M of pipeline in four months. $90M+ by the end.

The problem

Reworld had market presence but no marketing infrastructure. The CRM was a mess, lead scoring did not exist, and the sales team spent most of its time chasing leads that were never going to close. Marketing and sales operated in silos.

What we built

Buyer profiles across four distinct segments, a full CRM rebuild so marketing and sales finally read the same pipeline, segment-specific campaigns for each persona, and expansion into markets they had never worked.

Time and result

Four months to the first $12M of pipeline. The engagement went on to produce more than $90M in total and over 600 qualified leads, at a conversion rate a quarter higher than where it started.

Enterprise automation · BPO

€1,600 of ad spend into nine executive meetings.

The problem

Matterway was heading to the 13th BPO Innovation Summit in Mumbai. They had attended events before but never run a coordinated campaign around one. Previous events produced a handful of business cards and no pipeline.

What we built

Three weeks of pre-event targeting into BPO decision-makers across Mumbai and Bangalore, 47 A/B tested ad combinations, VIP dinner invitations to key accounts, and a hosted activation at the booth.

Time and result

Five weeks end to end, executed remotely. €1,600 of conversion spend produced 79 qualified leads at €20.25 each, and nine executive meetings with buyers who arrived already knowing the name.

Fleet payments · SaaS

From zero users to $20,000 MRR in four months.

The problem

The product was ready: Stripe integration, tap-to-pay backend, everything a driver needed to drop their payment terminal. CabFare had no users and no awareness. Running ads in-house had burned $3,000 for fewer than 20 installs.

What we built

Video creative tested against static, separate outbound to individual drivers and to fleet owners, an onboarding rebuild that got a driver to their first payment in under two minutes, and a five-stage nurture for people who installed but stalled.

Time and result

Four months. 417 installs, 50 active drivers and $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue, from zero on all three. Video creative beat static by 3.2x on cost per install.

It does not matter if you have the best mousetrap in the world. If people do not know about it, it is worthless.

07How we engage

How an engagement actually works.

It starts with a problem statement, not an RFP. We come back with an approach, a date and a fixed price for the first phase. Nothing begins until you have all three.

The work is front-loaded. We build the system while the effort is intensive, then operate it while it is still fragile. Ongoing operation runs month to month and either side can end it on short written notice. We would rather you left because you no longer needed us.

The contract sits with Manthle. An engagement may run through one operating firm or several, and they are introduced when the work calls for them. When procurement asks who stands behind the work, this is the answer.

The four phases

Research

The problem comes apart before anything is scoped. Constraints first.

Prototype

Working versions in days. Wrong approaches die cheap.

Build

What survives is hardened, with owners and documentation.

Run

We operate the system until your team runs it without us.

08The instruments

The lab builds its own instruments.

Content engines Draft, verify and publish at volume.

Agent pipelines Research, checking and execution in one run.

Retrieval systems Built for how AI answers, not how pages rank.

Prototype scaffolding Working software in days, on our own stack.

I am not tied to one person who might leave in 18 months. I get a whole team with the skillset I need at the moment I need it.
