Plumbing businesses are some of the most efficient operators in New Zealand – which means the easy wins from AI fraud detection are usually already taken. The brief we accept is the one focused on the workflow you've tried to fix twice and given up on.

What gets in the way
The friction plumbing businesses hit that other industries don't.
- Plumbers lose jobs to whoever answers the phone first, and most calls come in while they're already under a sink.
- Missed calls, slow quotes, and unchased invoices are the three leaks that cost plumbing businesses the most money.
How we build AI fraud detection for plumbing businesses.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for a plumbing business business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI fraud + anomaly.

Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have AI fraud detection in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most plumbing businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for plumbing businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Do you have proof this works for plumbing businesses?
Direct case study: Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. Happy to walk you through full numbers on a call.
What if our plumbing business doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For AI fraud detection specifically, we typically run that work on Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
