Delivery
How we build and deploy it
Every agent is custom-built. Nothing here is a license to an off-the-shelf product — the scope, data access, tone, rules and escalation behavior are written around your operation.
Week 1–2
Discovery and workflow mapping
We sit with the people doing the work, map every step, system, hand-off and exception, and document where time, revenue and quality are currently being lost.
Week 3–4
Design and approval
We agree the target operating model: what AI handles, what people own, escalation rules, data permissions, service levels and the reporting you will see each week.
Week 5–8
Build, integrate and pilot
Automations, agents and integrations are built against your live systems and piloted on a limited volume with humans reviewing every output before it goes wide.
Ongoing
Run, measure and improve
The operation runs day to day with monitoring, quality assurance and a monthly improvement cycle that removes friction and expands scope where results justify it.
Boundaries
What this agent is allowed to do — and where it stops
Scope, permissions and escalation are written for this agent before it goes live, so every action is deliberate and reviewable.
- Named operations lead and an agreed escalation path for anything unusual.
- Documented permissions: which systems, data and actions each agent is allowed to touch.
- Human approval gates on anything financial, contractual, sensitive or customer-facing by exception.
- Quality assurance sampling with scoring, feedback loops and retraining of both people and prompts.
Escalates to a person when
- Live conversation with qualified prospects
- High-value and named-account inquiries
- Anything outside the approved script
Reviewed every week
- Full audit trail of automated actions, model outputs, overrides and human decisions.
- Continuity planning so the operation keeps running through absence, volume spikes and system outages.
