For winning customers

AI adoption planner

Pick a customer, size the time an agent gives back, prepare for the objections, and copy a pilot proposal.

Who's the customer?

Start with: Draft replies to order and refund tickets from order data; agents edit and send.

Hours given back / month

~94

Net value / month

€2,690

Gross value / month

€3,290

Payback

3.0 mo

Pays back inside six months: an easy yes for most budget holders.

Objections you'll hear

"Our data can't leave the EU."
Run on an EU region or EU-hosted provider, sign a DPA, and keep a record of what data each tool can read. Start with data you already share with your SaaS vendors.
"What if it gets it wrong?"
In the pilot it only drafts; a person approves every action that changes anything. We measure its error rate on your real cases before giving it more room.
"My team will think it's replacing them."
Pick the task they like least, have two of them shape the pilot, and count hours given back, not headcount. The people who use it decide whether it continues.
"We tried a chatbot and it was useless."
This one is wired into your actual systems with a narrow job and a success number agreed up front. If it misses the number after two weeks, we stop.

# Pilot proposal: E-commerce support team

**Use case:** Draft replies to order and refund tickets from order data; agents edit and send.
**Why now:** 6 people spend about 12 hours a week each on answering repeat order and refund tickets.

## Expected value
- Hours given back per month: ~94
- Value per month: €3,290, minus €600 running cost = €2,690
- Payback on €8,000 setup: 3.0 months

## Two-week pilot
- Week 1: sit with the team, connect read-only, agent drafts only.
- Week 2: two people use it daily; every action needs their approval.
- Success metric: Median handling time per ticket, and customer satisfaction. Agreed before we start; if we miss it, we stop.
