Chapter 4 of 5
Fix it with AI agents.
We rebuild one workflow at a time, inside the systems you already use, with the people who will run it. The person who approves always makes the final call.

- 1/3The agent prepares each case from your brief and your rules.
- 2/3Complete work moves on to a person for review.
- 3/3A case with something missing stays put, flagged for a person.
Step 5: Fix what holds growth back. Then let AI speed up what is already clear.
Once we know where work waits, we fix that first. Then AI speeds up the work that is already clear. Your people keep the judgment and the relationships.

How a build happens.
Each step depends on the one before, so we do them in order.
Connect your systems
Link every system the workflow touches, and find where the numbers don’t match.
Agree what each number means
Write down what “booked” or “won” means, and who decides.
Keep it in your accounts
Logins, passwords and records stay in your accounts, under your control.
Run it with AI agents
The AI agent prepares the work and a person approves it. Each week, a short report on what was learned.
Hand it over
The people who run the workflow helped shape it. They run it day to day; we step back to support.
Agents earn trust one step at a time.
An AI agent gets more responsibility only after it has been right at the step below. Routine work moves on; unusual cases wait for a person.
- Level 1 of 5
On request
You ask. The agent reads and drafts. Nothing happens unless asked.
Still with a personEvery action - Level 2 of 5
Daily checks
The agent checks the work every day and flags what changed.
Still with a personEvery change it flags - Level 3 of 5
Checked against your team
On real cases, its drafts match what your people decide.
Still with a personEvery decision, checked against its draft - Level 4 of 5
Approve in batches
Routine work arrives ready, and the approver signs off on several at once.
Still with a personA sign-off on each batch - Level 5 of 5
Runs on its own, within set limits
Proven routine work runs by itself. Unusual cases, pricing and spend still go to a person.
Still with a personUnusual cases, pricing and spend
The agent prepares. The approver decides.
An AI agent builds the quote from your pricing rules and the account history. Everything inside the rules goes straight through. The one line outside them waits for the person who approves, with the details already attached.

Three rules that never change.
Scroll, and watch each one play out.
Nothing is posted before a person decides
The agent prepares the work and the evidence. Your team approves, corrects or holds it, and every action is logged with the person responsible.
When unsure, it stops
If the agent isn’t sure, it asks a person before changing your records.
Money decisions stay with people
Pricing and spending always need a person’s approval.
Your team owns everything we build.
Everything is written down and runs in your own accounts, so your team can use it, check it and build on it.

Step 6: Make each fix easier than the last. Each sprint starts further ahead.
With the rules written down and an owner in place, every new workflow starts further ahead. Customers who adopt, stay and buy more become advocates who bring in the next ones.
- Already in place: the rules, the data, the owner
- New work this sprint
