Chapter 05
Ongoing: AI systems drift. This is the part that keeps them honest.
Rates, quote validity and availability keep moving. Every applied figure needs a source, date, validity window and named owner.
Illustrative
A composite company, not a client. We model the inputs and the queue examples, then derive every total from the assumptions shown. A real audit measures each workflow in your operation.

What the build changes
What the build changes
Before
After
Internal draft cycle for a tender
Before: 6-day internal cycle
After: 2-day internal draft target
Tender capacity
Before: 12 tenders a month
After: capacity for 17 a month
Chasing supplier prices
Before: calls and inbox chasing
After: requests and reminders automated; non-responses surfaced
Writing the daily report
Before: 40 min a day
After: 5 min capture + 5 min review
One row above models more output instead of less effort. The first process frees capacity of about 7 tenders a month, and the modelled increase uses part of it. Nothing else on this page assumes more work arrives.
What we keep doing
Better models, on your say-so
We test candidate models against approved cases. We show you the model, version, region and error changes. We switch only after a named person approves, and there is a rollback path.
When the work changes
Rates, quote validity, drawings, specifications, site forms and subcontractor requirements change. We version sources and test the affected tender and record workflows.
The next process
Once the first workflow holds, we agree and price the next process in the audited roadmap before work starts.
- Monthly
- A summary of weekly checks: stale rates, measurement overrides, diary corrections, unsubmitted changes and document expiries. One page, with commercial and access decisions called out.
- Quarterly
- Sit down with the numbers, decide what is worth building next, and price it before anything starts.
Your own version of this
Two weeks, and the arithmetic is about your company.
The audit is where these composite numbers become yours: your processes, your hours, your build order. The first call is free. If it finds nothing worth building, you don't pay.
