How we work

Map it. Scope it. Build it. Measure it.

We work on one process at a time. Before we build, we agree what success looks like. After launch, we look at what actually happened and improve from there.

01

Understand the process

We map what happens today, including exceptions and the systems involved.

  • How requests arrive, in what volume and when
  • Who handles them, and what gets typed where
  • The inboxes, property, freight and accounting systems in use
  • The exceptions that happen every week
02

Agree one useful starting point

We define the scope, success measures and what stays with a person.

  • One inbox and one workflow to begin with
  • A baseline, so there is something to compare against
  • What the workflow may draft and do, and what it may not
  • Setup and ongoing costs, with a usage alert or cap
03

Build and test together

It runs alongside your team on real examples before it touches a live system.

  • Built around your approved wording and rules
  • Run in shadow mode on the emails you actually receive
  • Reviewed by the people who will rely on it
  • Launched only when the checklist below is complete
04

Review what happens

We use real usage and feedback to improve the workflow.

  • A weekly review during the first month
  • Items handled, and staff minutes on each
  • Escalations, corrections and anything it got wrong
  • Time to first response, measured against the baseline

A typical first project

One inbox. One workflow. Thirty days.

Small enough to launch quickly and judge honestly. Clear enough that you can decide whether to continue.

Where it starts

One shared inbox, such as maintenance requests or quote requests. The workflow drafts, and your team approves every output.

What comes later

Writing straight into your systems, once the drafts have proved accurate. Then the next workflow, such as chasers or invoice matching.

What you decide

The approved wording, the escalation rules, which contractors or rates it may use and who signs off.

How it ends

With a review against the baseline. You choose whether to roll it out, change it or stop.

Before anything goes live.

Every project clears the same checklist. We test the awkward cases, because those are the ones that matter.

  • Baseline and success criteria agreed
  • Common request types tested
  • Messy and incomplete emails tested
  • Out-of-scope requests tested
  • Wrong-match and low-confidence cases tested
  • Integration outages tested
  • Manual fallback in place
  • A simple way for you to pause it
  • Escalation rules and approved wording signed off
  • Data map and processing agreement signed
  • Usage alert or cap set with you

What stays with people.

Knowing where automation stops is part of the design. We write it down before we build.

Safety and legal matters

Gas, electrical and fire reports, legal notices and customs declarations follow fixed rules and go to a person. The workflow does not decide them.

Money and commitments

Quotes, spend and anything sent in your name wait for a person to approve them, and leave an audit trail.

Your customer data

Before real data is handled, we map where it goes and agree access and retention with you. We can support your data protection impact assessment.

Being clear about AI

Where your customers deal with an automated system, they are told. Messages can be approved by a person or kept to agreed templates.

Evidence of how it works

Rules, tests and logs are documented, so you can show an insurer, a regulator or a client exactly what the workflow does.

The off switch

Every workflow has a manual fallback and an easy way for you to pause it.
