We shadow your team doing their actual work, then hand you a sequenced roadmap with costs, timelines, and the metrics we'll hold ourselves to. No six-month engagement, no 200-slide deck, and no recommendation we can't tie to something we watched happen.
You know AI should be doing more for your business, but the landscape is noise. Every vendor has a pitch. Your team has run a few pilots that impressed everyone in the demo and changed nothing in the P&L. Meanwhile the tools your people actually use every day are the same ones they used two years ago. What you're missing isn't enthusiasm. It's a clear-eyed read of which workflows are worth automating, which ones aren't, what each will cost, and what order to do them in. Most consultancies will sell you a strategy and disappear before anything ships.
We sit with the people doing the work and watch them do it. Every click, every copy-paste, every workaround nobody ever documented. Interviews get you the official version of a process. Shadowing gets you the real one, and the gap between them is usually where the hours are.
Every candidate workflow gets scored on volume, hours consumed, error cost, and technical difficulty. You see the honest ranking, including the workflows we recommend leaving alone because the payback isn't there.
Before anything gets built, we measure where you are today: cycle times, cost per unit of work, throughput, error rates. Without a baseline there's no way to prove ROI later, and most AI projects quietly skip this step.
You get a phased plan: what gets built, in what order, what it costs, what it returns, and what has to be true for each phase to start. Concrete enough to execute against, whether you build it with us or not.
Sponsors need a consistent read on AI readiness across a dozen operating companies. We audit each portco on the same rubric, identify the shared infrastructure worth building once, and give the value-creation team a prioritized plan per company.
Firms lose margin to work that's necessary but unbillable: intake, research, document prep, status reporting. An audit surfaces which of those hours can be absorbed by software and what that reclaims per head.
Quoting, scheduling, supplier correspondence, and exception handling each move at the speed of whoever's in the inbox. We map where throughput is actually constrained before recommending a single tool.
Vendors are pitching your team a point solution for every workflow. We assess which capabilities are commodity and worth buying, which are core to your edge and worth building, and where a vendor lock-in will cost you later.
