Business Knowledge Base
Organise key documents, FAQs, policies, sales material, and process knowledge into AI-ready reference material.

Create reusable prompts for customer replies, proposals, admin, marketing, reporting, and internal support.
Workflow Automation
Map repeatable work and introduce lightweight AI-assisted workflows where the business gets value quickly.
Staff Onboarding
Train staff with examples from their daily work so AI adoption feels practical rather than abstract.
Monthly Optimisation
Review usage, improve prompts, add use cases, and keep the AI operating layer useful over time.

Governance Guardrails
Introduce proportionate controls around data handling, quality, accountability, and approved use cases.

ROI estimate
Estimate the monthly value of time saved
Use this conservative planning calculator to estimate the monthly value of AI-assisted productivity. It is not a guarantee. The real benefit depends on adoption, workflow fit, and usage quality.
5 staff x 2 hours/week x 4 weeks = 40 hours/month
Actual results depend on usage, workflows, adoption, and business process fit.
FAQ
Questions SMEs ask before starting
