The brief

Triage was eating the morning.

Every message arrived in one queue, and a clinician read all of them before anything could be routed. The backlog set the tone for the rest of the day.

  • One undifferentiated inbound queue
  • Clinical time spent on routing, not care
  • No way to see what was waiting
The approach

Read first, route second.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Two weeks inside the workflow: what it costs today, where it breaks, and which parts a model can genuinely carry.

  2. 02

    Shape

    A costed plan with the model chosen, the interface sketched and the success measure agreed before anything is built.

  3. 03

    Build

    Weekly releases against real traffic, with evaluation sets that grow as the edge cases surface.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Your team ships the next change. We leave the runbook, the evaluations and a month of support behind us.

The outcome

A third of inbound never reaches a clinician.

Not because it was hidden, but because it was answered — with the source attached and the confidence on show, so the team could tell at a glance which answers to check.

Client voice

They shipped a working assistant in six weeks, then spent the seventh teaching our team to run it without them.
