How AI consulting works

I help you remove paperwork first and bring AI in last. It costs less that way, and less can go wrong.

15 to 20 minutes, one person. You get a one-page map of which task to fix first.

Why AI comes in last

Having worked as a clinical pharmacist and operational manager, I actively remove unnecessary medicines. I do the same with paperwork. First we find where the hours go. Then we remove the steps nobody needs and simplify what is left. AI comes in last, on one narrow task, after the work is clean. And less goes into the AI, so less can go wrong. That is why the benefits of AI will last in your team, and why it is safer.

I call the whole method UPSWING. The part that does the cutting is called SWIFT, and you will see it in step 2 below.

Three steps. The first two are free.

  1. 15 to 20 minutes Free

    Step 1. Free scan.

    One person on your team fills in the AI Quick-Scan. It takes 15 to 20 minutes and works on a phone. It asks about your business, which admin tasks eat the most time, and how your top three are done now. Within two working days you get a one-page Opportunity Map: your three tasks scored on payoff and risk, in your own words.

  2. 30 minutes Free

    Step 2. SWIFT.

    30 minutes of free mapping. We go through your map together and start cutting your top task live with SWIFT, the method I named above. You keep the map and the cutting advice whether or not you hire me.

  3. 14 days Low-risk task: $3,950 plus GST

    Step 3. First Win.

    14 days, one task. A low-risk task is $3,950 plus GST. We remove and simplify first, then put AI on what is left. Hours are counted before and after, and the hours you save come back every week the tool runs. Your team works through it with me, so the AI skills stay with you when I leave.

Some tasks are high risk: patient or student records, legal records, child-safety or vetting records, or a decision about a person. They need extra safeguards and testing, so I quote them separately after a risk check. I will tell you which side of the line your task sits on in the 30-minute mapping.

What you get

The steps nobody needs are gone, and AI handles most of the copying and pasting that remains.

Time back inside the working day.

At one occupational health provider, a report that took 113 minutes took 18 after we cut first and then brought in AI.

Lower AI costs.

You only pay for AI on work worth keeping. The tools you already pay for, like Microsoft 365, are often enough.

A number you can trust.

We count how long the task takes before anything changes. Then we change one thing and count again. For each process you keep a one-page record: the new steps, the hours saved, and what the AI is and is not allowed to do.

Your team stays.

Before we start, we promise that the time saved goes back to your team and clients. I train your team and build the automation, both the tools and skills stay with your team.

Is patient, student and client data safe?

Names and identifying details of your patients, students and clients come out before any text goes into an AI tool. Your staff are trained on what is safe to enter and what is not. A person on your team checks every report before it leaves. We write down which tools are used and where the data is stored, and you keep that page. A patient, student or client can say no to AI and still be looked after the usual way. This is in line with the Privacy Act 2020 and, for health and disability providers, the Health Information Privacy Code.

I was a cancer pharmacist who also worked on clinical trials, and I treat your records the way we treated trial records: coded, and never in a place they do not need to be.

Who checks what the AI writes?

A dedicated owner of this particular process, before anything is sent out or submitted.

What does it cost?

The scan is free. The 30-minute mapping is free. A First Win on a low-risk task is $3,950 plus GST. You pay half to start and the other half when the AI tool is built and handed over. I only automate a task when the numbers show it is clearly worth it.

Sometimes cutting the paperwork fixes the problem on its own. Every First Win still ends with a live AI tool, so if the cutting removes the whole task, the AI goes onto the next task on your map, in the same 14 days, for the same fee.

After the First Win, you pick the next task on the map, with me or without me. Some teams keep me on a monthly plan. We price that per team.
