Fix the process, then add the AI.
SolvStream starts with the work as it runs today: where it breaks, what needs judgement and what AI can carry under clear rules. We make the process clear first, so the fix is built around the work rather than the tool.
No AI on chaos. Fix the mechanism, then add intelligence.
Estimate the Fragmentation Tax.
Before we redesign anything, we put a rough value on the time being lost in the current process. The estimate does not need to be exact to show where the drag sits.
The Fragmentation Tax is the cost of information and processes being scattered across email, drives, messages and other tools. It shows up in time spent searching, switching and rebuilding work that should already exist.
A simple way to frame it:
Fragmentation Tax = Hours lost × Hourly rate × Staff count
Use the hours lost per person and a loaded hourly rate, including salary, employer costs and overhead. Choose the period, then keep every input consistent. The result is an estimate, not a measured cost. Its job is to make the economics visible before any redesign begins.
The work decides where AI belongs.
We work on one meaningful process at a time. First we make the work visible, then we decide what needs a person, what AI can carry and how the starting point will be recorded.
Scattered
We lay out the work as it happens now, including repeated steps, unclear handovers, missing information and decisions held in one person's head.
Structured
We turn that reality into clear stages, inputs, outputs and rules. The process must make sense to a person before AI is added.
Human decision
We mark every point that needs judgement, approval or an exception. Those decisions stay with a named person and become explicit gates.
AI placed
AI takes the repeatable work it can carry reliably inside those boundaries. If it does not reduce load without weakening control, it stays out.
Measured
We record the starting point across five practical measures. The client can use that baseline to compare what changes later, if they choose.
The trigger, the review and the handover show whether AI is helping with a task or built into the operation.
How operator and orchestrator modes differ in practiceAI can do the heavy lifting. A person still decides when the work is ready.
The processes we design include a human checkpoint wherever AI output needs judgement. The client owns that gate and decides what passes through it.
AI carries the repeatable work
Gathering, comparing, sorting and drafting, where the rules are clear enough for AI to follow.
A person checks the result
Accuracy, context, tone and exceptions. The named owner verifies the output before approving it.
The gate controls the handover
The work is approved, sent back or passed to the right person before it moves on. That checkpoint is part of the process the client receives.
