Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI really replace an FTE?
For routine, structured tasks (basic copywriting, lead qualification, support tier-1, basic coding): yes 60-80% of throughput at 5-10% cost. For complex/judgment work: AI augments humans, not replaces.
How do I count "agent runs"?
Per task/decision. A junior marketer writes ~10 emails/day. AI can do 100 if quality acceptable. Counter: human reviews 100 outputs in 1h vs writing 10 from scratch in 4h. Net 4x productivity.
What about quality?
Today: AI matches junior-level for structured tasks; falls short on senior judgment/context. Plan: AI for first draft, human for review/decision. Hybrid is winning pattern, not full replacement.
