AI that gives fundraisers their time back, not another dashboard.
When fundraisers 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?
What changes for fundraisers week to week
Fundraisers 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

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.

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.
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.*

Good questions, answered
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.
How long does AI take to ship for Fundraisers?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Fundraisers 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. Draft reports, proposals and commentary sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
Does scheduling handle public holidays?
It should. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays, including Matariki, plus a regional anniversary day that depends on where your business is.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
