The version of AI efficiency audit that works for a Timaru business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI efficiency audit 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 Timaru – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
How do you price AI efficiency audit 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 Timaru businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Do you have proof this works for Timaru businesses?
Direct case study: Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI efficiency audit can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, Notion, Loom, Linear, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
