SERVICES / REALITY CHECK LITE

Reality Check Lite

For firms with one workflow they think AI could speed up.

We walk through the workflow with the people who do the work, give every step a verdict, and put it in a 5-page report with a priced next step. If a step shouldn’t use AI, the report says so.

01 / WHAT YOU GET

A verdict for every step

  1. A 2-hour walkthrough

    Of the workflow and its templates, with the people who do the work, and with live client data hidden or de-identified.

  2. A verdict for each step

    GO, NOT YET with what would unlock it, or NO-GO. Every verdict comes with its reasons.

  3. A 5-page report and a 60-minute readout

    Short enough to be read, with a priced next step. You’re under no obligation to take it.

02 / VERDICTS, ILLUSTRATED

What a verdict looks like

A made-up workflow, so you can see the format before you book.

ROUTINE CLIENT EMAILS · A SMALL ACCOUNTING PRACTICEFictional method demonstration
  1. Sort incoming emails by topic GO Low risk, and someone still reads every email.
  2. Draft replies to routine questions GO From your approved wording. A person approves every reply before it’s sent.
  3. Quote figures from the client’s records NOT YET Unlock: the figures come from a report your system produces, never typed or worked out by AI.
  4. Advise on the client’s tax position NO-GO That’s professional judgement, and it stays with the accountant.
Every verdict carries its reasons, NO-GOs included.

03 / HOW IT RUNS

About 3–4 weeks, start to finish

You approve the scope and the price before we start. Your team gives two hours, plus the readout.

  1. Book

    A 20-minute call, then a written scope and a fixed price for your workflow.

  2. Walkthrough

    Two hours with the people who do the work, using the workflow’s real templates, with live client data hidden or de-identified.

  3. Verdicts

    We assess every step and write up the verdicts, with the reasons and what would unlock each NOT YET.

  4. Readout

    A 5-page report and a 60-minute readout with a priced next step.

04 / THE COMMERCIAL SHAPE

Credited in full if you go further

A$4,500–7,500 + GST, depending on the workflow, agreed in writing before we start. Credited in full against any follow-on work you commission within 60 days.

There’s no obligation to build anything. In our first engagement, a third of the use cases we scored moved to the ‘Don’t Build’ side.

Need more than one workflow looked at? The multi-workflow version is available on request. Team using AI without agreed rules? Start with the AI Safe-Use Setup.

05 / QUESTIONS

Before you book

Will you see our client data?

No. The walkthrough uses your real workflow and templates, with live client data hidden or de-identified. We never handle client, patient or matter files.

What if every step comes back NO-GO?

Then the report says why, and you’ve found out before paying to build anything. There’s no obligation to go further.

Should we do the AI Safe-Use Setup first?

If your team already uses AI without agreed rules, yes. Reality Check Lite is for when one workflow looks worth testing.

What does it ask of us?

The 2-hour walkthrough with the people who do the work, and an hour for the readout.
