Nelson businesses don't need another generic AI pitch. AI efficiency audit only earns its keep when it's built around the workflow you actually run on a wet Tuesday, and that's how we scope every engagement we take on in Nelson-Tasman.

Find AI wins fast – wired into a Nelson workflow, not bolted on the side.
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

Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is AI efficiency audit worth it for a smaller Nelson?
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 Nelson businesses?
Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
What tools do you build AI efficiency audit on?
For AI efficiency audit we usually reach for Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your Nelson team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
