We've worked with enough operators in New York to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI efficiency audit project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.
For New York operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Our goal is to give New York businesses a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)
What AI efficiency audit actually does
A two-week audit that maps your team's actual time spend, finds the 5 highest-leverage AI plays, and ships the first one. No vapourware, no 80-slide decks - just one working thing.
- 01 Time-and-motion review of your top 5 workflows
- 02 Ranked AI opportunity list - ROI, effort, risk
- 03 One pilot shipped in week two, not a six-month roadmap
- 04 Fixed price, fixed scope, kept honest

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of AI efficiency audit runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for New York businesses first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How AI efficiency audit compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
What's different about doing this work in New York.
- New York runs on finance, law, media and a professional services machine that bills by the hour - AI here earns its place by giving that time back, not by being impressive in a demo.
- Wall Street firms, Big Law, and a media and advertising industry that never fully stops, all sitting on top of the highest labour costs in the country. New York teams want AI that survives contact with a real client deadline.
We work with teams across New York: Manhattan · Brooklyn · Queens · Midtown · Financial District · Long Island City.

How we build AI efficiency audit for a New York team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your New York business, so value lands before the build is finished. Find AI wins fast.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing New York businesses the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.
The outcome for New York teams
Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch. For New York teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.

FAQ
How long does AI efficiency audit take to ship for New York businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real New York 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.
How do you price AI efficiency audit engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most New York businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
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. Average pilot saves 8 hours/week within 30 days of launch.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI efficiency audit 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.
