Web3 and blockchain in Hamilton.
The interesting question is never whether it can be on chain, it is whether being on chain earns its cost.
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Hamilton mixes healthcare, manufacturing and the agritech that turns up at Fieldays every June. We build AI for the admin those businesses still do by hand.
Definitely not a typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
What web3 and blockchain means here
Blockchain, smart contracts, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi and decentralised identity. We build the parts that hold up under audit, and say plainly when a database would do the job better.
- Smart contract design and review before anything holds value
- Tokenisation of real assets, with the custody question answered first
- Decentralised identity (DID and SSID) for verifiable credentials
- Honest advice on when a distributed ledger is the wrong tool
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Hamilton, up close.
Healthcare is Hamilton's largest employment sector at 16 per cent of jobs, alongside manufacturing, logistics, education and tech, and the University of Waikato and Wintec make it a centre of learning and research.
Fieldays at Mystery Creek is the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event. Fieldays runs at Mystery Creek every June.
Good questions, answered
Do you actually work on web3 and blockchain?
Blockchain, smart contracts, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi and decentralised identity. We build the parts that hold up under audit, and say plainly when a database would do the job better.
Is this a talk or a build?
Both, depending on what you need. We speak on web3 and blockchain, and we build the systems behind it. The advice is the same either way, and it is free of charge until there is a scope to quote.
What does this look like for a Hamilton business?
Hamilton sits at the centre of NZ's biggest agri-economy. AI here is about turning farm and supply-chain data into action - fast. We scope one workflow, ship it to production, and prove the return before expanding.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
