A question we get asked a lot: how much time will this save us?
It is the wrong question, and answering it honestly tends to surprise people.
What AI reliably changes is not speed, it is variance. The monthly report goes out on the same day whether or not the person doing it had a difficult week. The check against the brief happens. The follow-up happens. The floor comes up, and it stays up.
Time saved is the number everyone quotes and the one that never quite arrives. Consistency is the one that shows up in the numbers a quarter later, when nobody is looking for it.
Judge the investment on hours back and you will conclude it did not work while it is quietly working.

What would you rather it changed in your week, the time or the reliability?
