Your Business
Isn't Broken.
It's Running Heavy.
We help small businesses fix operational problems using practical AI solutions — cutting the manual work, removing the bottlenecks, and building systems that let you run leaner without working harder.
THE MANUAL TAX
One Day Per Week.
Lost to Work That Doesn't Need You.
Most New Zealand businesses aren't failing for lack of effort. They're losing capacity to the Manual Tax — the accumulated weight of repetitive tasks, manual data entry, and approval chains that exist out of habit rather than necessity.
That's the recoverable capacity sitting inside the average SME operation. We help you find it, map it, and reclaim it — without overhauling your entire business.
About Richard HarveyThe 70/30 Principle
-
70% — AI Delegation
The machine handles the draft, the data entry, the research, and the scheduling. Consistently, without complaint, around the clock.
-
30% — Human Control
You handle the decision, the relationship, and the strategy. AI never executes a critical action without your sign-off. You stay the operator.
-
100% — You Own It
Every system we build comes with full documentation and source code. No lock-in, no black boxes, no dependency on us to keep it running.
How It Works
Three Steps. One Outcome.
We Audit
We open the hood of your operation and map every high-friction point where human time is being spent on work that doesn't require a human.
We Build
We construct precise, single-purpose tools that handle the grind — integrated directly into how your team already works.
You Operate Faster
Your team reclaims capacity. You spend less time in the business and more time on it. The engine runs cleaner.
