Most budget analysts we talk to aren't short of software – they're short of an hour back in the day. That's the lens we put on AI for this role: not a tech showcase, but a careful look at the one workflow where budget analysts are paying for the same problem to be solved twice.

How we build AI for budget analysts.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your team, so value lands before the build is finished. The durable wins augment a person rather than replace them — a human approves anything that matters.

Questions
FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Budget Analysts that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. 0.03% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026)
What tools do you build AI on?
For AI we usually reach for Draft reports, proposals and commentary, Analyse spreadsheets and statements, Answer policy questions with sources, Automate onboarding and reminders. We're tool-agnostic at heart – we pick what your budget analysts team team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
