Not every process is a good candidate, and we will tell you.

Three criteria, in this order. The third is the one that surprises people.

01

Value

What the process costs today and what can be taken out of it. If it occupies half a day a month, that is not where we start.

02

Open ground

Whether an established vendor already owns the space. On code generation or tier-one support, everyone has already shipped their agent: we would be arriving late.

03

Consequence

Whether the agent performs an act with real effect: a payment, a write to a system of record, something sent to a third party, an access right granted. Without that, our difference earns nothing and you have no reason to pick us.

The classic trap: reporting

It is the use case most often named as impactful, the easiest to sell and the easiest to deliver. It produces no real act. A client who starts there has no reason to pay for enforcement, and the project goes nowhere.

Yours is not on the list?

Describe it in three minutes, out loud or in writing. We tell you whether it is a good candidate, and what it costs you today.
