We've worked with enough operators in Kerikeri 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 efficiency audit project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

For Kerikeri operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What AI efficiency audit actually does
A two-week audit that maps your team's actual time spend, finds the 5 highest-leverage AI plays, and ships the first one. No vapourware, no 80-slide decks – just one working thing.
- 01 Time-and-motion review of your top 5 workflows
- 02 Ranked AI opportunity list – ROI, effort, risk
- 03 One pilot shipped in week two, not a six-month roadmap
- 04 Fixed price, fixed scope, kept honest
Built on: Claude Notion Loom Linear Vercel

Why Kerikeri businesses are a fit for this.
- Kerikeri is horticulture, tourism, and a fast-growing lifestyle community – AI here is about connecting orchard, paddock, and storefront.
- Kiwifruit, citrus, and a steady hospitality scene serving the Bay of Islands. AI tools that work in low-signal areas land best.

How we build AI efficiency audit for a Kerikeri team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Kerikeri business, so value lands before the build is finished. Find AI wins fast.

What changes for Kerikeri teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided. Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch.
Not your typical AI agency.
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

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Kerikeri 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.
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.
Do you have proof this works for Kerikeri businesses?
Direct case study: Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI efficiency audit stack we reach for is Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel, 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.
