Generative AI

Your company paid someone $50,000 to spend three months interviewing your team, mapping your workflows, and producing a 60-page PDF that nobody read. The recommendation? "Automate your reporting." Wow. Revolutionary. We did the same thing with AI. It took 5 minutes. And it was better. Not marginally better. Embarrassingly better. What Happened We described a workflow. Plain English. "Our team spends 3 days every month pulling data from 4 systems, building charts in Excel, and emailing a PDF to management." That's it. No.
