AI automation, priced honestly

Your agent will not clear everything. We price what it misses.

Handoff builds AI agents for operations teams. Before you sign anything, we show you the exception cost that turns a great-looking payback into a real one.

The number every other calculator hides

Hours saved times hourly rate is the easy arithmetic, and it is what your prospect has already been quoted three times. Price the tasks the agent does not clear and the conversation changes.

3.5 months

$1,290 saved per month, after exceptions

What the other calculators leave outAt 92% accuracy, 40 tasks a month still reach a human, and they take longer than the original job because someone is checking the agent. That is $280 a month, and $3,360 off the first-year headline.

How we scope an agent that survives production

Most pilots pass their demo and die in month three. The difference is almost always whether anyone agreed in advance what the agent is allowed to get wrong.

Map the exception path first

Before a line is built we agree what the agent cannot handle and where that work goes instead. The escalation route exists on day one, not month three.

Ship with an accuracy budget

Every agent runs against a confidence floor. Anything below it goes to a person automatically and gets logged as an exception rather than guessed at.

Report the number that survives

You get hours returned, exceptions handled and real payback every month. Not the demo-day figure that nobody revisits once the invoice clears.

All case studies

Wholesale

Invoice processing for a 40-branch wholesaler

Three-way matching ran on a shared inbox and took two people most of a week. The agent clears the clean 92 percent; the exceptions still reach a human, and we costed them before the pilot started.

Insurance

Claims triage at a regional insurer

First-notice-of-loss triage was the bottleneck, not the assessment. Routing and severity scoring moved to an agent, with a hard rule that anything below the confidence floor goes straight to a person.

Inbound lead routing for a B2B platform

Leads sat unrouted overnight and the best ones went cold. Enrichment and routing now run in under a minute, and the sales team sees the agent's reasoning next to every assignment.

What operations teams say afterwards

They were the only agency that told us what the agent would fail at. Everyone else showed us a number with no exceptions in it.

The confidence floor was the whole thing. Claims below it never touch the agent, so nobody on my team had to trust a black box.

Our payback slipped from 2.9 months to 3.4 once exceptions were priced. I would rather have had that number in the proposal, and I did.
