We've worked with enough operators in Rotorua to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI strategy project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

Built and supported here – the way a Rotorua business would actually use it.
What AI strategy actually does
A clear-eyed AI roadmap built for your business – not a generic deck. We sit with your team, map the high-value plays, and write the build order. You leave with a plan you could actually start tomorrow.
- 01 On-site discovery with the people doing the work
- 02 Ranked initiatives with ROI, effort, and risk
- 03 Tool selection – not married to any vendor
- 04 Phased 90-day plan you can execute or hand off

Bay of Plenty
Where Rotorua operators actually lose hours.
- Rotorua is forestry, tourism, and a strong Māori-led economy – AI here works hardest when it respects relationships first.
- From iwi-owned enterprises to international tour operators, Rotorua businesses want AI that handles peaks without flattening the manaakitanga.
We work with teams across Rotorua: CBD · Ngongotaha · Lake Tarawera · Reporoa · Tokoroa.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI strategy for a Rotorua team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Rotorua business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI roadmap + plan.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI strategy take to ship for Rotorua businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Rotorua businesses 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.
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.
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. Most plans pay for themselves in the first build.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI strategy into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
