Industries we serve

Nine sectors, each with a dedicated practice page covering the systems it runs, the workflows worth automating first, and a sector-specific assessment.

Nine sectors

Where we deploy

Not listed?

These nine are where we have deployed most, not the limit of where the work applies. The general assessment covers anything else, and if your sector turns out to be a poor fit we will say so on the call rather than after the scoping.

What is the same everywhere

One method, nine vocabularies

Sector pages exist because the vocabulary, the systems and the constraints differ. The method does not.

Start from the mundane workflow

The impressive-sounding candidate is rarely the one worth doing first. The queue nobody enjoys is where the recoverable hours are, and it is also the one where being wrong costs least while trust is being built.

Sit with the people doing it

The documented process and the practised process differ in every sector, and the difference is the finding. Automating the documented one produces a system people work around.

Design the escalation before the happy path

Where the cost of being wrong is asymmetric, a person decides. Which cases those are is a sector question, a symptom, a determination, a safeguarding concern, a detention clock, and it is settled before anything is built.

Measure before, not after

A baseline taken from your own data in the first week is what makes the result arguable rather than asserted. It is also frequently the thing that reorders the priorities.

What actually differs

Where the sector matters

Four things change by sector, and they change the design rather than the language. This is why the pages are separate.

What may not move
Protected health information, student records, material non-public information, plant-floor control traffic. The constraint on data movement decides the architecture before any performance consideration does, and it is different in every sector on this page.
Where the human has to be
A clinical judgement, a credit determination, a benefit decision, a record release, a machine motion. The asymmetry is sector-specific and so is the interface that makes a person genuinely able to disagree.
What the calendar is
A term date, a commissioning window, a reporting cycle, an appropriations year, a close. Sequencing is set by the sector’s calendar rather than by a delivery plan, and a supplier who has not asked about yours has not worked in it.
Which systems hold the truth
Epic, MercuryGate, Encompass, Yardi, Ellucian, SAP. Naming them is cheap; knowing why each one shapes the integration, the permission model, the work-order model, the milestone model, is the part that takes having done it.

Each sector page carries the automation candidates in that sector’s own language, with a column stating what goes wrong when that specific workflow is automated badly. That column is the one worth reading if you are trying to work out whether a supplier understands your operation or has been told about it.
