Built for the parts of the animal scientists job that eat a Tuesday.
Every animal scientists team we've worked with has a different definition of "broken".

The shape of the result for Animal Scientists: 0.01% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) Built on Summarise literature with citations, hardened with the rest of the stack as it scales. Kiwi Dynamics
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What changes for animal scientists week to week
Animal Scientists sits within Science & Research, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Summarise literature with citations
- Clean and explore datasets
- Draft methods and reports
- Answer questions over your documents
Small crew or big organisation, the busywork is the same :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
By the numbers
Canada's overall AI usage sits at 4.37x its expected level, with Singapore leading at 5.53x.
Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Straight answers
When does AI actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for an animal scientists team - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Animal Scientists are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Summarise literature with citations, Clean and explore datasets, Draft methods and reports, Answer questions over your documents but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Can it keep track of ACC levies?
Yes. ACC work levies are set by the classification unit your work falls under, and self-employed people are invoiced after filing their tax return.
