9 AI tools — 4 doing the exact same thing

A regional law firm had accumulated Clio, Harvey AI, Lexis+ AI, CoCounsel, and five more subscriptions approved by different partners. Legal ops couldn't tell you which tool was authoritative for which task. Billing, intake, and research were split across platforms with no handoffs between them.

We cataloged the full stack in week one, identified four direct redundancies, and built an intake-to-billing automation that replaced three manual handoff steps with zero-touch data flow.

"They were quick to notify us when scope shifted and made every adjustment without friction. I've never had a vendor feel this much like part of our own team." — Director of Legal Operations

22 shadow AI subscriptions — zero connected

A mid-market distribution company discovered 22 unsanctioned AI subscriptions purchased on corporate cards by individual managers. None were approved by IT, none were connected to each other, and several duplicated tools the company already paid for at the enterprise level.

Our Depth agent pre-mapped the likely stack before the first call. The Catalog audit confirmed it. We consolidated, built a governance policy, and delivered a shadow stack prevention framework their IT team now uses for every new tool request.

"We had 22 islands. None of them were talking. The Clear Stack made sense of the chaos and had us organized in 30 days." — VP of Operations

Three CRMs running simultaneously — zero data shared

A registered investment advisory firm had Salesforce, Wealthbox, and Redtail all active, with client data spread across all three. Onboarding a new client required manual entry into two systems. Reporting pulled from three sources that never agreed with each other.

We identified the migration path to a single platform, automated the onboarding workflow, and built client data reconciliation logic that eliminated the duplicate-entry problem permanently.

"Brian's team found $140K in waste on day one. By week eight we had one source of truth for every client. The clarity alone was worth the fee." — Managing Partner

11 AI pilots in 18 months — none reached production

A 15-location medical group had run eleven AI pilot programs across clinical documentation, scheduling, billing, and patient communication. Each was evaluated in isolation with no defined deployment path. They were paying pilot pricing on tools they'd already decided to keep — but the decision had never been operationalized.

We evaluated all eleven against actual workflow needs, identified two with clear ROI, built deployment workflows for both, and created an evaluation framework so future pilots come with a deployment plan from day one.

"We had been paying for potential for 18 months. Now we're paying for results." — Chief Operating Officer

$220K freed · 2 tools company-wide · 9 pilots retired cleanly
