Every engagement starts with a workflow audit, ROI estimate, and implementation plan. The build phase focuses on a narrow high-value workflow first, then expands after performance is measured. Common success metrics include qualified leads captured, appointments booked, response time, manual hours saved, customer inquiries resolved, document-processing time, and staff workload reduction.
