Put the business benefits in context
An example of what two separate improvements could mean for a business over a year. The figures show savings and additional gross profit, not our service fees.
Monthly operating costs · example
€300 saved per month × 12 months
Review overlapping software subscriptions, outsourced administration and recurring operating costs.
Monthly gross profit · example
€500 additional gross profit per month × 12 months
Review pricing, product mix and sales follow-up. Gross profit is revenue less the direct cost of goods or services. Count gains separately from the cost savings above.
ILLUSTRATIVE BUSINESS BENEFIT
An illustrative annual benefit to the business, before implementation and running costs
Business benefits, not our service fees. We scope the work with you and provide an individual quotation before you decide to proceed.
Assumes both changes continue for 12 months. Implementation, development, software and ongoing support costs have not been deducted. Savings and additional gross profit are counted separately; the value of time freed up is excluded. The net benefit is assessed against the full costs in your individual proposal.
A clear scope. A practical outcome.
Start with one useful task. We help you choose an approach, put it into practice and make it work for the people using it.
Map recurring work, costs and commercial priorities. Identify where AI fits, what it will cost and which opportunity to test first.
Improve emails, meeting notes, quotation drafts and reporting. Review duplicated subscriptions and work that may no longer need outsourcing.
Sharpen product explanations, proposals and follow-up. Build reusable content and response workflows around the customers you want to reach.
Organise sales, cost and expense records. Review product-level profitability, pricing options and service packages using your actual business data.
Train people on their own tasks. Set up shared instructions, appropriate information handling and human checks before outputs are used.
Review time, spending and gross profit each month. Refine the workflow and decide what to improve, expand or stop next.
Built around the way you work
Examples of workflows we can help you improve. We agree the scope after reviewing how you work today.
For consultants, freelancers and independent professionals: connect your sales conversations, proposal drafts and follow-up without rebuilding every document from scratch.

Build your business case
Enter the monthly costs you could save and the extra gross profit you could generate. The calculator extends your assumptions over 12 months; implementation and running costs are considered separately.
Cost savings + additional gross profit
Business benefits, not our service fees.
Implementation, system development, software and ongoing support costs are not deducted here. We assess the net benefit against the full costs once the scope and quotation are agreed.
Time freed up is capacity you can put to other work. It does not automatically reduce wages or cash spending. Its reference value is not added to the financial benefit above.
Annual benefit = (monthly cost savings + additional monthly gross profit) × 12. This assumes the same changes continue for 12 months, without a start-up period or seasonal variation. Count additional gross profit after the direct costs of goods or services, separately from any cost saving already entered. Implementation and running costs are excluded. Time freed up = people × task hours × net time reduction. Its reference value is calculated separately and is not added to the financial total.
How we work
Agree the baseline and the success criteria before introducing a new workflow.
Discuss your work, business priorities and current tools. Confirm the scope and whether support is a good fit.
First conversation · 30 minutesMeasure the current process. Select one use case and agree the expected benefit, costs and quality checks.
Assessment & written proposalSet up the agreed tools and templates. Try the workflow with the people who will actually use it.
Typical initial project · 4–8 weeksCompare time, spending and gross profit with the baseline. Keep what works and adjust what does not.
Results review & next prioritiesA proposal for your business
The work required depends on your processes, workload, existing systems and any development or integration needs. We agree a clear scope and provide an individual quotation.
Identify the business objective, current process and where an improvement would matter most.
Choose the tasks, tools and support required, including any development or system connections.
Review the expected benefit, delivery, support and individual quotation together before work begins.
We confirm the work, deliverables, timing and fees with you before you decide to proceed. Work starts only after the agreed conditions are met.
Evidence, with context
Read the original evidence behind the figures on this page. These studies do not establish a general rate of revenue or profit growth.
A randomised experiment with 453 college-educated professionals reported 40% less time spent on assigned writing tasks and 18% higher quality ratings with ChatGPT assistance.
Scope: short, occupation-specific writing assignments. The experiment did not replicate company-specific context or verify factual accuracy; the percentages do not describe all work.
Read the MIT research summary ↗A field study of 5,172 customer-support agents at one business-software company found an average 15% increase in issues resolved per hour with an AI assistant.
Scope: one company and a particular support system. Benefits varied with agent experience; the most experienced workers saw small quality declines. This is productivity, not a 15% profit increase.
Read the published research ↗Our approach: use research to identify opportunities, then validate the business case with your own baseline and trial results. The figures above are external research findings, not eFect performance claims. References reviewed 16 October 2026.
Before we begin
Clear expectations from the first conversation.
No. We begin with the work you do and the problem you want to solve. Tool selection and training follow from that discussion.
Yes. We work with self-employed professionals, small businesses and teams. We agree a scope that fits your business, starting with one useful task where appropriate.
No. The euro figures are an illustrative calculation, and the research describes results from specific settings. We assess your starting point, test a practical change and review the actual results before recommending a wider rollout.
We review the workflow, task volume, required support, data preparation and any system development or integration. We then provide an individual written quotation. Scope, schedule and costs are agreed before work starts.
We agree what information is needed, who can access it and which tools are suitable. We check the relevant tool settings and keep human approval for customer-facing outputs.
We can discuss bilingual communication, shared procedures and workflows for teams working across Japan and Europe. The languages, market-specific requirements and specialist support are confirmed in the scope.
