The Korbai Method: how we put AI to work.
Find where AI pays first, prove it, and build from there.
One thing at a time, until it’s simply how your business works. No giant overhaul, and nothing that ends up gathering dust.
Your path with AI: Audit. Build. Train. Partner.
Not now Low-return tools and unproven ideas
- One proven step at a time
- Your clients’ data stays safe
- Where AI won’t pay, I’ll tell you
Audit: Find where AI pays first
Fixed fee, fixed window
Generally the best first step. Fixed fee, fixed window. We go through the business properly, find the workflow where AI pays first, and prove the number on it.
The Audit stands on its own; nothing else is assumed until it’s done. If you’ve been using AI and know exactly what you want, in some cases we’ll just scope that one build and start at Build. We list the questions to ask any firm, us included, in how to choose an AI consulting agency.
What you get You walk away with a clear report and a decision, not a slide deck of possibilities.
“If you know AI should be helping your business but can’t find the time to work out where, I’d start with an audit like this.”
Build: Prove one workflow
First workflow live in weeks
We implement the workflow that won the Audit, or the one you came to us to build, on your systems, with your people. One thing at a time, proven before we move to the next.
And the gains stick: data set up deliberately, each workflow making the next one easier.
What you get One workflow, running live.
On most builds, one of our technical partners, Nofil Khan or Lindsey Crowe, leads the engineering. Meet the team
Train: Your team runs it
Checked again after 30 days
Your people learn to run it on their own work, in the tools they already have open.
Thirty days later we check which jobs are still running, and what’s in the way of the ones that aren’t. Training also runs on its own, for teams that have the tools but not the habits: AI training and enablement.
What you get Everyone leaves owning one job that now runs with AI.
Partner: Keep it on track
Ongoing, with regular check-ins
Ongoing advisory. The AI landscape moves monthly, and most firms don’t need a head of AI on payroll. They need one on call.
What you get Regular check-ins, shared accountability, and a name on the outcome.
“We had a Claude subscription and we were using a fraction of it. A report that used to take a week now takes hours. A pre-meeting brief that was half a day of research is ready in minutes, with every fact sourced.”
The technology is the easy part
Making AI work is roughly 70% people and change, 30% technology (BCG, 2024). Habits, confidence and process are the work, which is why the Method moves one proven step at a time instead of promising everything at once.
70% people, 30% tech
The technology is the easy part; habits, confidence and process are the work. So we work with your people from day one.
Prove it first
We lead with return, and prove it on one workflow before claiming anything bigger. No headline numbers we can’t stand behind.
Straight talk
If something isn’t worth doing, we’ll tell you.
Built carefully, handed over properly
Senior hands on the work
The person you meet is the person who does the work.
Built to best practice
We build to current best practice and proper governance, and hand it over documented so your team can run and change it. You’re never locked in by accident.
Your access stays yours
We work through proper, auditable access, never shared logins, so your systems and credentials stay under your control.
The jobs that eat your week.
We find the repetitive, time-eating jobs and take them off your team, so the hours go back into the work that pays.
A quote drafted from your past jobs and price rules, ready to check.
An inbox that sorts itself, files the attachments, and drafts the reply.
Invoices read, matched and reconciled automatically.
The monthly report that writes its own first draft.
Every enquiry answered while it’s still warm, no lead left sitting.
Meetings that end with the actions already captured.
Yours might look different. The test never changes: does it hand back hours every week? If yes, it makes the list. There’s one specialist line alongside it: getting found by AI, being the business AI assistants recommend.
