Your best hours go to admin,
not to clients.

Built and tested before it touches a live file

Tested end to end against the awkward files, not just the ones that behave. I build the review queue before the automation. If nobody at your firm can see what it is doing and correct it on day one, it is not finished. You come out of this stage with a runbook, a walkthrough recording and a written SOP, and you keep all three whether or not you keep working with me.

Two weeks where it proposes everything and moves nothing

It runs on your real files and writes down every decision it would have made, without making any of them. You read the log. I count two kinds of mistake separately, because they are not equally survivable. Saving a document under a slightly wrong name is recoverable, and gets an accuracy bar you agree up front. Saving it against the wrong client is not, and has to be zero across the whole sample. The confidence thresholds come out of your data rather than a default I brought with me.

Two weeks is the usual length, but the exit condition is a sample size. If a quiet fortnight does not give me enough to judge it on, it runs longer.

Supervised go-live, then it is yours

Above the threshold it acts on its own. Anything below waits in a queue for a person. Every action is written to an audit log, so “who approved this and when” always has an answer.

Handover happens on a date rather than by drifting apart. My named access is revoked, credentials are rotated, the runbook is signed over. If you want me gone after that, nothing breaks.
