AI is a powerful tool - when used the right way.

The hard truth?
Many companies see increased waste and costs when trying to implement AI. In fact, 77% of employees say AI has added to their workload rather than reducing it. Why? Because there’s a big gap between expectations and reality.
96% of C-Suite executives expect AI to boost productivity – but in many cases, the missing ingredient is process clarity.
AI isn’t magic—it can’t define your value proposition, write your marketing content from scratch, or automate everything from end to end.
The only successful AI implementations we’ve seen are fractional. That’s how we’ve approached it, and it’s been nothing short of transformative for us.
Here’s what we’ve learned:
When we introduced AI into our operations, we focused on optimizing key processes that were already well-defined: proposal preparation, report writing, and documentation.
By framing the task with the 10-80-10 approach (10% planning, 80% AI-drivin heavy-lifting, and 10% human finesse), we were able to let AI do the repetitive work while still keeping the quality control in our hands.
And the results speak for themselves.
We’ve saved over 1,100 hours this year alone and achieved a projected value of $972k. It hasn’t just streamlined our operations—it’s freed us up to focus on the work that really matters.
No more endless admin tasks or manual reporting. AI has allowed us to scale faster, while still delivering high-quality, personalized service to our clients.
But here’s the thing: AI only works if you know exactly where it can make an impact.
If you’re thinking about using AI in your business—or if you’ve already tried and found it lacking—then we want to share how we’ve made it work for us.
We’ll show how AI can help cut down on admin tasks, streamline operations, and let you focus more on client care.
