Automation gears with an AI cog

The AI gap is widening. Which side are you on?

Every day you wait = money burned while competitors automate.

Manual, slow, hard to scale

Not running AI

  • Costly staffing to keep up with workload
  • Headcount grows faster than revenue
  • Overtime & contractors to plug gaps
  • Recruiting and onboarding drag delivery
  • Errors and rework add hidden cost
Automated, fast, measurable

Running AI

  • Same team handles more with automation
  • Defer hires; cut overtime/contractors
  • Lower cost per task; faster cycle time
  • Integrated data flows; fewer errors
  • Team focuses on exceptions & growth
  • 14 days: top 3 ROI automations + build plan

START — Close the AI Gap Fast

A full consultation that shows you exactly where you're falling behind and gives you the blueprint to leapfrog ahead.

What you get

  • 3 structured discovery calls with the right people (ops, finance, sales, support)
  • Lightweight process map of key workflows (where time is actually spent)
  • Top 3 "big win" opportunities, ranked by impact and time-to-value
  • Baseline KPIs agreed up front (hours, error rate, cycle time, cost per task)
  • Complete 90-day implementation roadmap (DIY or with us)
  • Executive decision brief (one page) and practical action checklist
  • Everything documented so you can execute with or without us

Common quick wins we deliver

  • Cut system-to-system copy/paste with lightweight integrations (hours back weekly).
  • Auto-triage leads/tickets with first-draft replies (faster first response).
  • Generate weekly ops/finance reports from source systems (minutes, not hours).
  • Draft contracts/scopes from templates + data (less rework).
  • Ask one question across docs, tickets, emails (fewer “where’s that?” pings).

While you do it manually, they're already automated

Example: If 6 people spend 5 hours/week on data prep (30 hours total) at A$70/hr, that's A$2,100/week you're burning while competitors have automated it. Cut 70% = save A$1,470/week → A$76k/year. START shows you exactly how to capture this (A$5k). Implementation to actually build it runs A$10–20k+ depending on scope. ROI in weeks.

FAQ

What if my competitors are already using AI?

They probably are. We've helped companies leapfrog competitors who had a 12-month head start. The key is moving fast with the RIGHT automations. START identifies where you gain the most, quickly.

How much are we losing by not using AI?

Many companies burn 20–30% of payroll on automatable work. For a 50-person company with average A$70k salaries, that's A$700k–A$1M annually. Use our calculator to see your number.

Can we really catch up in 2 weeks?

The roadmap takes 2 weeks. You'll know exactly what to build and in what order. Implementation depends on scope, but most clients see first results within 30 days of kicking off.

What's the typical ROI?

Clients commonly unlock A$100k–A$200k in the first year. The START consultation (A$5k) typically identifies opportunities worth 20–50x that investment. Even one win often pays back in 4–8 weeks.

Do we need technical staff?

No. We handle the technical discovery and planning. Your team just shows us how things work today. If you want us to implement, we handle that too.

What if we're not ready for AI?

If you have repetitive work and more than 5 employees, you're ready. We've automated processes for companies with zero internal engineering. The bigger risk is waiting.

How is this different from other consultants?

We don't do 6-month strategy projects. START is 2 weeks, focused on finding your 3 biggest wins with clear ROI. You get a roadmap you can execute immediately.
