We've worked with enough operators in Gisborne 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 knowledge base project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

- 02 Answers with citations back to source documents
- 03 Permission-aware – staff only see what they should
- 04 Detects stale docs and prompts owners to update

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

Honest about what AI can and cannot do
Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Gisborne businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. New staff get to productive 3x faster – less senior-team interruption.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI knowledge base stack we reach for is Claude, Pinecone, Vercel AI SDK, Postgres, MCP, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
