The Palmerston context, plainly.
- Palmerston is Darwin's fast-growing satellite city, with defence, construction and home services driving most of the local work.
- Residential growth, defence households, trades and retail serving one of the youngest populations in the country. Volume and after-hours demand are the recurring pinch points.
We work with teams across Palmerston: Palmerston CBD · Rosebery · Zuccoli · Durack · Humpty Doo.

FAQ
How long does AI HR assistant take to ship for Palmerston businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Palmerston businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
What's the realistic outcome for Palmerston businesses?
HR enquiries drop 65% in the first month - leaders get their week back. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI HR assistant into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too - we don't operate it from ours.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
