How we work
From manual process to running automation
No rip-and-replace and no six-month implementation. We start with one process, prove it on live work with you approving every step, then expand.
The four phases
One process at a time, start to finish.
This is the AI automation implementation process we run for every engagement, from the first conversation to ongoing operation.
Automation Assessment
45-minute working session
We map one to three of your manual processes and show you what can be automated, roughly what it's worth, and where to start.
What you get
- A map of the process as it runs today
- Which steps an AI worker can own and which stay human
- A rough estimate of the hours in play
- A recommended first build
- A written Opportunity Snapshot
What we need from you
The person who owns the process, 45 minutes, and a rough sense of volume.
Blueprint
1–2 weeks
We shadow the process, map every step and exception, design the workers and human checkpoints, and hand you a fixed build quote with the success metrics we'll hold ourselves to.
What you get
- Step-by-step process map, exceptions included
- Solution design: workers, automations, human checkpoints
- Integration plan for your systems
- Success metrics and a baseline
- A fixed build quote
What we need from you
Two or three hours of your process owner's time, examples of real work (anonymized is fine), and read access to the systems involved.
Build & Pilot
2–3 weeks for a single-system process; 4–8 weeks for multi-system work
We build on our platform, wire it into your systems, and run a supervised pilot on live work in Draft and Approve modes until it hits the agreed metrics.
What you get
- Workers and automations built to the Blueprint
- Connections to your existing systems
- Supervised pilot on live work
- Your team trained to review, approve, and steer
- Go-live when the pilot meets the agreed metrics
What we need from you
Access to the systems we're connecting, and someone to review the pilot queue for a few minutes a day.
Run & Optimize
Ongoing
We monitor, tune, and handle exceptions, expand autonomy where the numbers support it, and add the next process when you're ready. Or we hand it off to your team.
What you get
- Daily output monitoring and tuning
- Exception handling during business hours
- Monthly performance review against the baseline
- Autonomy expanded one task class at a time
- The next process, when you're ready
What we need from you
A monthly review, and a named person for escalations.
The pilot
What a pilot looks like
During the pilot, every item the workers touch lands in a review queue. Your team approves, edits, or escalates; we tune rules and voice from what they change. A task class moves up a mode only when its record supports it, and only when you say so.
Process: New-customer intake · pilot week 2 Modes: Draft + Approve PROCESSED 58 intake items APPROVED 49 as drafted EDITED 7 before approval ESCALATED 2 missing-document cases → your team → Task class "welcome email" moved to Autopilot after 40 consecutive approvals with no edits (your call)
Control Model
Three modes. Per task. Always logged.
Autonomy isn't a switch, it's a dial — and you set it per task class, not per worker. A Sales Agent can run follow-ups on Autopilot while first-touch outreach stays in Approve.
Draft
Prepares the work, hands it to you, touches nothing. The default for every new worker and every new task class.
Approve
Executes after your one-click sign-off from a review queue. Ten minutes of your morning covers a full day of its work.
Autopilot
Runs solo inside written boundaries. Exceptions escalate to you with context. Every action still lands in the log.
After go-live
Launch is where the engagement starts.
We monitor output daily, tune rules and voice, handle exceptions during business hours, and meet monthly against the baseline from the Blueprint. When a task class earns it, autonomy expands. When you're ready, we take on the next process. And if you'd rather run it yourselves, we hand it over with training.
