If we build the right slice first, Kaikōura teams feel the difference inside the first month. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season.

Common questions
Before you book the call.
What's the realistic timeline for AI demand forecasting with a Kaikōura? +
Most Kaikōura businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is AI demand forecasting worth it for a smaller Kaikōura? +
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
What's the realistic outcome for Kaikōura businesses? +
Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later? +
AI demand forecasting is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Prophet, DuckDB, Claude, BigQuery, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
