AI that gives assessors their time back, not another dashboard.
When assessors ask us what AI actually changes, the first question we put back is the same one every time: which part of your week, if it disappeared, would change how you feel on a Friday?

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.

How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. 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.
What changes for assessors week to week
Assessors sits within Business & Finance, one of the sectors we build production AI for.
- Draft reports, proposals and commentary
- Analyse spreadsheets and statements
- Answer policy questions with sources
- Automate onboarding and reminders

Questions assessors ask
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 Draft reports, proposals and commentary, Analyse spreadsheets and statements, Answer policy questions with sources, Automate onboarding and reminders but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
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 assessors team - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
What does the Privacy Commissioner expect before we use AI?
Senior leadership sign-off, a check that the tool is necessary and proportionate, and a privacy impact assessment before it goes live.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
