Proof before scale

We show the work.
Not a catalogue of unnamed AI wins.

DAO Solutions does not publish mass-generated industry pages or invented client results. Until live implementations are documented with the businesses involved, this page shows the evaluation method we actually use — including what we would not automate.

Illustration, not a client claim

Example: enquiry-to-project handoff

Incoming enquiry → quote → acceptance → invoice → project setup

Potential value

High — daily volume, sales delay when slow

Effort

Medium — CRM, email and quoting tool already exist

Complexity

Low–medium if quote templates are standardised

AI requirement

Only if the enquiry is unstructured email

Risk

Human approval before the quote is sent

Priority

First project — frequent, visible, measurable

What we would automate

  • ✓Create or update the CRM contact from the enquiry
  • ✓Notify the owner and create the follow-up task
  • ✓Populate a quote template from CRM fields
  • ✓After acceptance: create invoice draft and project checklist

What we would not automate

  • –Fully autonomous pricing decisions
  • –Sending customer-facing quotes with no review
  • –Replacing the CRM or quoting tool unless it cannot connect

When we have permission to publish measured results — hours recovered, error reduction, payback — they will appear here with the actual process, systems used, and the boundary between workflow automation and AI. Until then, the fastest way to see this method applied to your company is the audit.
