No black box and no quarterly reveal. You see the run log on a Thursday, the evals when they fail, and the cost per run from the first build.

/ The four phases
Wk 0 → run
Wk 0–2
Audit
Map the workflows, score hours lost, pick the first three builds.
Wk 2–8
Build
Prompts, evals, and integrations, all shipped behind a human gate.
Wk 8–9
Ship
Cutover with rollback, running side by side with the old process.
Wk 9+
Run
Managed operations: monitoring, cost tuning, a monthly hours ledger.
003
/ What you actually see
Every week, without asking
Thursday
Thirty minutes on the run log
The actual workflow on screen, the runs it handled that week, and the ones it handed to a person. No slides, and no status document written the night before.
Continuous
Eval scores in your repository
Every change runs the suite. You can read the pass rate the same day we can, because the results land in your account rather than ours.
Monthly
The hours ledger
One page: runs handled, runs escalated, cost per run, and the hours returned to your team, measured against the manual baseline we took in the audit.
004
/ The gates
Nothing ships past a red one
G/01
Baseline agreed
We measure how long the job takes a person today. If we cannot measure it, we do not automate it.
Before the build
G/02
Evals written
A failing test comes before the first prompt, covering the cases the workflow must never get wrong.
Before the prompt
G/03
Handoff rule signed
Your operations lead agrees in writing what the agent may finish alone and what always reaches a person.
Before cutover
G/04
Rollback rehearsed
We run the old process and the agent side by side, then practise switching back before we rely on it.

005 / The promise
Audit terms
Audits run since 2021
Delivered on the day promised
61 of 62
Found more than 500 hours
60 of 62
Refunded in full
2 of 62
If the audit cannot find 500 hours a year, you do not pay for it.
We have refunded two audits since 2021. Both companies had already done the boring work themselves, which is the outcome we would want either way.
