Most of our Taupō engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI lead qualification is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI lead qualification 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 Taupō – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI lead qualification 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 Taupō businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Anyone else in this space using AI lead qualification?
Plenty. Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI lead qualification can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, HubSpot, NZBN API, Twilio, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
