Pain points

What keeps owners up at night

Bookkeeping, filings and contracts are highly repetitive

Senior people are stuck writing first drafts

Standard client questions eat expert time

Long ramp-up for new hires; knowledge sits in a few heads

Roles

Which roles AI transforms, and which it augments

“Transform”: AI executes, people spot-check. “Augment”: AI drafts and prompts, people decide.

Paralegal	Augment	AI does first-pass contract review and flags risks
Analyst	Augment	AI drafts reports and organizes data
Client service	Transform	Knowledge-base AI answers standard questions
