We've worked with enough operators in Dunedin to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI lead qualification project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

How we build AI lead qualification for a Dunedin team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Dunedin business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI scores your leads.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI lead qualification take to ship for Dunedin businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Dunedin businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's the realistic outcome for Dunedin businesses?
Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI lead qualification into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
