Included · $399
// Worked example · Workflow 01

Step-by-step build · AI document & comms drafting

One representative workflow shown in full — the biggest capacity lever for a professional-services team. All 12 workflows have build guides like this.

Week 1
Provision + set up
  • Set up Claude Teams (3 seats) and connect your document store / past work (2 hrs)
  • Build a prompt + template library for proposals, client emails, reports, file notes (4 hrs)
  • Define the house style, tone and formatting rules the AI must follow
  • Set the guardrail: AI drafts only — nothing reaches a client without human sign-off
Week 2
Shadow run · one type
  • AI drafts proposals in parallel with the manual process (don't send yet)
  • Owner compares AI vs manual · logs every edit + why
  • Baseline current drafting time + turnaround
  • Tune the prompts and templates against real edits
Week 3
Go live · 2–3 types
  • AI first-drafts become the default start for proposals, emails, reports
  • Every draft reviewed and approved before it leaves — never auto-sent
  • Measure drafting time saved, turnaround, consistency
  • Capture the best prompts into the shared library
Week 4
All types + handoff
  • Extend to file notes, memos and recurring reports
  • Set the success metric: drafting time down 40–60%
  • Lock the human-review step as a standing rule
  • Train the team on prompting · move to monitoring mode
// Role redesigns

// Change-management playbook

Five tactics that make rollout stick

Most AI rollouts stall at the people layer, not the tech. These five move adoption from “interesting pilot” to “this is how we work now.”

01
Lead with the “freed for” narrative
Frame AI as freeing people for higher-value work, not replacing them. “AI handles [X] so you focus on [Y].” Repeat until it lands.
02
Pilot with believers, not skeptics
Start with 2–3 enthusiastic early adopters per workflow. Their results become the social proof. Skeptics adopt from peer success.
03
Measure before AND after
Baseline each pilot (hrs/wk, quality). Re-measure at week 2, 4, 8. Visible wins drive adoption faster than memos.
04
Make AI the default, not optional
After pilot success, AI becomes “how we work now.” Going back to manual = explained exception. Soft mandate, hard direction.
05
30-60-90 review cadence
At each milestone: surface wins, fix what's not working, expand to the next workflow. Visibility prevents drift.
// Compliance checklist · Professional Services

Compliance considerations for your industry

Each item is a hard gate — verify it before the relevant AI workflow goes live. Updated for the May 2026 regulatory environment.

Human approval on all payments (WF3)
AI never auto-pays. Every invoice captured and coded, then queued for a human to approve.
Trust / operating account separation (WF3)
AP automation connects to the OPERATING account only — never a client trust account.
Client confidentiality routing (WF2)
Sensitive matters route to a human, never auto-answered. No privileged content in general-purpose prompts.
Automated-response disclaimer (WF2)
Every AI client reply carries “This is an automated response.”
“Subject to confirmation” on quotes (WF5)
Every AI quote or proposal states “Subject to confirmation.” AI never commits the firm.
No regulated advice without sign-off
AI never issues legal, financial or tax advice directly — a qualified human reviews and owns it.
Privacy Act 1988 + client data
No personal client data in general-purpose prompts. Confirm each tool meets the Australian Privacy Principles.
Document version control + audit trail
Every AI document carries a draft marker + version history until a human signs off.
Semi-annual tool compliance re-audit
Re-verify every tool's compliance posture every 6 months — terms change without notice.

HOW WE CALCULATED THISEvery assumption visible and checkable
How we calculated this
Every assumption is visible and adjustable

Automation potential is assessed at the activity level. Each role is broken into its constituent tasks, and each task is benchmarked against current AI-tool capability and Australian adoption data for comparable SME roles. We're deliberately conservative — automation is only counted where a specific tool exists and is already deployed in Australia. Activity-level rates roll up to the role-level figure you see.

The hourly rate isn't just base pay. Fully loaded = base salary + 11.5% superannuation + leave provisions (annual, personal, public holidays) + WorkCover + an overhead allocation. That's the true cost of an hour of capacity — and the true value of freeing one.

Each workflow lists the specific tools required and their published Australian subscription pricing, scaled to your headcount. Setup is shown as a range, not a single number, because it depends on your current systems. Tool costs are netted against released value — the figures you see are after tools, not before.

Yes — every input is visible and editable. Use Edit roles & headcount to change the org, and the Full Stack and Complete Roadmap tiers ask a short set of questions that replace industry defaults with your actual numbers, tightening the estimate.

This free snapshot is built from headcount and structure — about 60% accurate, deliberately conservative. A few quick questions lift it to ~80%, and a full review to ~90%+. Every figure is a range, not a point estimate, and is verified against your real data before anything is implemented. It's a decision tool, not an invoice.

The confidentiality gates5 hard gates checked before anything goes live — privilege, conflicts and payments stay human
5 gates
// The hard gates · what must pass before anything goes live

Client confidentiality isn’t a setting. It’s a gate.

Every workflow we recommend is built behind hard compliance gates. A failed gate means it doesn’t go live — no exceptions. For a professional firm, these are the ones that matter:

No client-identifying data in AI prompts
Client names, matters and files are anonymised or excluded by design — consistent with the Privacy Act 1988 and your professional confidentiality duties (Law Society rules, APES 110, TPB Code).
By design
Privileged & sensitive material routes to a human
Anything touching legal professional privilege or commercially sensitive client material is flagged and escalated — never auto-processed, never auto-replied.
Human control
Conflicts & engagement acceptance stay human
AI drafts and prepares; it never opens, accepts or scopes an engagement. Conflict checks remain a partner-level control.
Human control
Payments approval stays human
AI prepares and codes invoices; a person approves every payment. AI never auto-pays, and connects to the operating account only — never trust or client accounts.
Always on
People decisions follow Fair Work
Augmentation by default — capacity freed, not roles cut. Any role change remains your decision, made through the proper consultation obligations.
Your call
These gates are checked per workflow before go-live and re-checked by Care as rules and tools change. They’re not fine print — they’re why sceptical firms can say yes.
