Most of our Wellington 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 HR assistant is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Wellington business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI HR and people ops.

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Wellington businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Do you have proof this works for Wellington businesses?
Direct case study: HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month – leaders get their week back. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI HR assistant stack we reach for is Claude, Employment Hero API, BambooHR, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
