By the numbers

What happens when teams put AI to work.

2.2 hrs

saved per week, on average, by workers who use generative AI. A third of daily users save 4 hours or more.

37%

of US firms with 250+ employees now use AI, nearly double the rate of the smallest businesses. Across all businesses it's 17–20%, so most haven't started yet.

Where the week goes

Most of the workday isn't the work employees were hired to do.

Copying numbers between systems, chasing status updates, formatting the same report every Friday. It's necessary, it's repetitive, and it quietly takes over the week.

58%

of the average workday goes to “work about work”: chasing updates, searching for information, and switching between apps.

60–70%

of employees' time is spent on activities that today's generative AI and related technologies could technically automate.

“Could be automated” doesn't mean everything should be. It means there's room. We find the repetitive, rules-based work in your week, automate what's safe to automate, and leave the judgment calls with your employees, who get their time back for customers, craft, and growing the business.

Estimate your hours back

What would a few hours per employee add up to?

Adjust the numbers to match your team. It's a rough planning estimate. We replace it with measured figures during the audit.

Why now

Falling behind happens quietly.

Competitors rarely announce that they've automated. You notice it in other ways, usually after it has cost you a few deals.

The upside: a 20-person company can move faster than a 2,000-person one. You don't need a transformation program. You need the right first project.

  • They quote in hours while you quote in days.Speed wins work, especially when buyers are comparing three bids.
  • Their costs per job keep falling.They can hold prices steady or undercut you while protecting their margins.
  • They answer customers after hours.Without anyone working late, because routine requests are handled automatically.
  • Their best staff stay.Talented staff move toward employers where the tedious part of the job is gone.

Your team's time belongs on growth, not busywork.

In a free 30-minute call we'll look at how your team spends its week and point out the two or three things worth automating first. No pitch deck, no obligation.
