We read your site, run a short interview to learn how the work actually runs, and assemble a proposal pack with candidate AI use cases — before the call.
Voice-led scope interview · 5 weeks, fixed scope, fixed price
Every engagement opens with a proposal pack — the same shape, assembled live from the interview. A few slides from past decks below.
A 5-week engagement to build same-day quoting and recover supervisor QA from paper.
Quoting and QA are the two bottlenecks the team feels every week.
Site walkthroughs price well, but the lag from walk to email is killing the smaller end of the book. QA inspections are still on paper and a quarter of them never reach ops.
We lose the small ones — by the time the quote lands, they've already picked someone.
Quote turnaround 6.4 days · 31% of leads go cold before reply.
Supervisor QA logged on paper · 22% never reach ops.
Recurring contract churn concentrated in months 4–7.
Embed, prioritize, ship — same team end-to-end.
We work inside the business, not over the top of it. By week five there are two shipped projects, not a slide deck.
Interviews, audit, baseline metrics.
30 ideas → 2 signed projects.
Embedded squad, daily demos, daily updates.
Two bets, both shipped before kickoff month closes.
Selected against payoff, effort, risk, and the team's own ranking. Two more held for the backlog with rationale.
14-day rework backlog. 8% of claims aged past appeal window — direct revenue at risk.
Four clients churned over visibility. Reporting takes 3 days/month today.
Useful but compounds after the two builds above land.
Intake is the gate — and it's leaking.
Inbound leads land in three inboxes, get triaged once a day, and lose 18% before the first call. The lawyers do not need a CRM — they need triage that does not sleep.
Every Monday we find ten leads from Friday no one called yet.
Intake response 9.4 hours median · industry benchmark 11 minutes.
Three intake inboxes · zero shared triage signal.
18% of qualified leads churn before first contact.
Discovery → prioritize → ship. No big-bang reveal.
Same crew from kickoff to handoff. Demos every day so the team can change their mind cheaply.
Ride-alongs, audit, baseline metrics.
30 ideas → 2 signed projects.
Embedded build squad. Daily demos.
