Straight answers
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 Stone Cutters and Carvers, Manufacturing teams are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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 a stone cutters and carvers, manufacturing team - so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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 Generate SOPs and work instructions, Answer machine and process questions, Log and summarise shift reports, Speed up quality and compliance docs but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
Will it work alongside Fergus or Tradify?
We build around the tools you already run instead of replacing them. Fergus and Tradify are both job management tools built in New Zealand for trades.
