Use Cases — Patterns, not theatre

No case-study theatre. No vague success stories. Just the patterns we see repeatedly and how we solve them.

1

Fragmented data across tools

Problem

Company uses multiple tools (CRM, ERP, support platform) but data doesn't sync. Teams manually copy information between systems.

Solution

Build integration layer that syncs data automatically. Add validation to catch errors before they propagate.

Outcome

Manual data entry reduced by 80%. Fewer errors. Teams trust the data again.

2

High-volume, repetitive document processing

Problem

Employees spend hours manually extracting data from invoices, contracts, or forms.

Solution

Deploy document AI to extract structured data. Add human review for edge cases. Monitor accuracy continuously.

Outcome

Processing time reduced from hours to minutes. Accuracy improves. Team focuses on exceptions, not routine work.

3

Process exceptions live in people's heads

Problem

Workflows are documented, but exceptions aren't. When edge cases happen, only specific people know what to do.

Solution

Map exception handling explicitly. Codify decision logic. Build fallback paths into automation.

Outcome

Processes become more resilient. New team members can handle exceptions without escalating to senior staff.

4

Existing automation breaks frequently

Problem

Company has automation, but it's fragile. Small changes break things. Nobody wants to touch it.

Solution

Audit existing system. Refactor brittle parts. Add monitoring and alerts. Document how it works.

Outcome

System becomes maintainable. Team can make changes confidently. Downtime drops significantly.

5

Nobody knows if AI would actually help

Problem

Leadership wants to 'use AI' but doesn't know where it makes sense. Risk of investing in the wrong thing.

Solution

Run System Readiness Review. Map current processes. Identify where AI adds value vs. where simpler automation works.

Outcome

Clear roadmap. Company avoids expensive mistakes. Investments go to highest-impact areas.

6

Custom workflow that off-the-shelf tools can't handle

Problem

Business has unique requirements. Generic tools don't fit. Workarounds create inefficiency.

Solution

Build custom software tailored to the specific workflow. Integrate with existing tools where needed.

Outcome

Team gets exactly what they need. No more fighting against generic software.
