Liam Ottley (Morningside AI)

6 of 7 evidence checks met
Checks not met
  • Independent confirmation

Morningside AI, an AI agency that builds AI solutions for business clients. It started with paid "Exploration Milestone" discovery engagements priced at $800 to $4,000. He also runs an AI education business through a Skool community and YouTube, which is out of scope here. The agency sells AI development and automation projects for businesses. The paid discovery milestone scopes AI use cases before the build. Income claim: In his own newsletter post of 12 Nov 2024, Ottley says the Exploration Milestone helped Morningside AI "break through the $20,000 - $30,000 p/m range consistently" and later reach "our first $100,000+ month". He gives no dates for either milestone. He also claims "over $3M in revenue (and counting!)" across "670+ days of building in AI", but does not split that between the agency and his other ventures. Self-reported and unverified.

Grade B · Reported, not independently verified

Real person/company, a self-reported figure without independent confirmation, no red flags, and a clear AI role.

  • Identifiable person or companyMet · Named person/company with a public profile or site and enough history to identify the claimant.
  • Independent confirmationNot met · Current third-party confirmation the claimant cannot edit; expired TrustMRR keys and uncheckable press reports do not count.
  • Claimant figure documentedMet · The claimant’s income figure is supported by a source or document we reviewed.
  • Defined figures and no red flagsMet · Figures are plausible and consistent, dated, in the stated currency and period, with MRR, one-time and all-time amounts kept separate.
  • Clear, concrete AI roleMet · AI has a concrete role in the product/workflow and the income comes from that activity, not a course/coaching business.
  • Public track recordMet · The person or business has enough public history to establish continuity; a new product or a thin profile caps the grade at B.
  • Figure is reported income, not an estimateMet · The figure is a third-party estimate or a price, not reported income; an estimated figure is always C.
