INTERRUPT 22 LIMITED

What INTERRUPT 22 LIMITED does

Interrupt22 is a UK-based professional services firm founded in late 2025 in Shrewsbury that uses Human-Led Agentic Engineering to help enterprise and public-sector organisations modernise legacy systems and accelerate software delivery. The company operates two service lines: Legacy System Modernisation — which reverse-engineers legacy codebases into validated, source-traceable blueprints and then employs agentic engineering to build replacement systems — and Agentic Delivery & Enablement, which reconfigures engineering operating models, delivers structured AI training and produces production-grade software exemplars.

The firm's core technology is a proprietary Agentic Modernisation Platform that ingests source code, documentation and institutional knowledge to produce deterministic, source-traceable system blueprints, exposed via a user interface, an API and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) interface. Build-side work is performed through external agentic tooling — principally Claude Code (Anthropic Claude Opus 4.5) and OpenAI Codex CLI — applied within a documented 'Human-Led Agentic Engineering' methodology in which experienced engineers direct teams of AI agents. The offering is rounded out by a four-course structured training curriculum covering foundations, engineering, business and leadership audiences.

Interrupt22's revenue model is professional services on a quote-based, engagement-by-engagement basis, with no public pricing. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales — a no-cost 30-minute discovery call followed by a tailored proposal — targeting UK enterprises carrying legacy debt and government or public-sector bodies with critical national infrastructure modernisation needs. The company is founder-owned, with three co-founders (James Tennant, Charlotte Morris and Ben Scowen) bringing cumulative decades of experience at Capgemini, Kyndryl and HMRC. Geographic scope is currently the United Kingdom only, and the firm is actively recruiting AI-empowered engineering staff.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Agentic Modernisation Platform Proprietary AI-driven platform that reverse-engineers legacy systems into high-fidelity, validated blueprints deterministically traceable to source code, and exposes those blueprints via user interface, API, MCP interface and agentic engineering teams to enable rapid, safe modernisation.
• System Blueprint Generation Stage 1 of the Legacy System Modernisation engagement, in which Interrupt22 ingests source code, documentation and institutional knowledge and produces validated, high-fidelity system blueprints deterministically traceable back to source code via deep links, forming the foundation for modernisation.
• Agentic System Modernisation Stage 2 of the Legacy System Modernisation engagement, in which Interrupt22 employs Human-Led Agentic Engineering and external agent-based AI tooling (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI) to build, test and deploy replacement production-grade software systems based on the generated blueprints.
• Reorganise for AI Consulting service that reconfigures engineering operating models, team structures and ways of working so organisations can adopt Human-Led Agentic Engineering and achieve an order-of-magnitude increase in delivery velocity.
• AI Training & Coaching Structured workforce upskilling programme covering four courses — AI Foundations (half day), AI for Engineers (full day), AI for Business (full day) and AI for Leaders (half day) — that move engineers, business users and leaders from basic prompting to sophisticated AI exploitation, including Claude Code embedding, context engineering, sub-agents, task decomposition, Skills building, repeatable workflows and AI cost management.
• Agentic Solutions Delivery End-to-end production-grade software delivery service that takes a high-level idea, elaborated concept or PoC and uses Agentic Engineering to build production-grade solutions, setting standards for short-cycle delivery.
