AI that gives economists their time back, not another dashboard.
When economists 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?

How it works in New Zealand
We find the one workflow costing Economists the most hours, ship a working slice into production in weeks, prove it pays for itself, then harden it and hand it over.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
What changes for economists week to week
Economists 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
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.
Good questions, answered
How long does AI take to ship for Economists?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Economists data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Summarise literature with citations sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. 0.14% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026)
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.
Do you respond to government tenders?
Most large government contracts are advertised on GETS, the Government Electronic Tender Service, where suppliers register with RealMe.
