Fix and automate what you find.
Custom AI agents, built where they pay off, with people in the loop. We start from what Candoor found and what Storm measured, so the agent goes where it saves the most. Before it goes live, it sits the same test we hold a person to.
Talk to us See how it worksEvery agent has a person who signs off. Nothing goes live until it passes its test.
Built from what you already know
- Candoor findings
- Storm results
- Your systems
- Your people
- One metric you choose
Most agents get pointed at whatever is loudest.
The loudest process gets the agent. The bottleneck keeps running. Nobody can say where the work actually breaks, so the money goes where it is most visible, which is almost never where it is most expensive.
Then the agent goes live without a bar to clear. A person who is not ready underperforms. An agent that is not ready acts.
So we do it the other way round: find the problem first, measure the people around it, and only then build the agent, held to a bar you can see.
You automate what is visible
The process everyone complains about is rarely the one that costs the most. Without evidence, the agent goes to the wrong place.
Nobody sets the bar
A person is interviewed before they start. Most agents are switched on after a demo. Nobody writes down what good looks like.
Nobody checks it worked
Without a metric chosen on day one, an agent cannot be judged. It just becomes another tool nobody is sure about.
Find it. Measure it. Build it. Prove it.
Four steps, the last of which is yours.
- 1
Find where the work breaks
Candoor talks to every team, anonymously, and ranks what is slowing you down by what it costs. Or you bring a problem you already know. Either way, the agent starts from evidence, not a guess.
- 2
Measure the people around it
Storm puts the people closest to the problem in a live simulation of it. You see what they can already do, where the gap really is, and which part of the job is worth handing to an agent.
- 3
Build the agent, scoped and governed
We build a custom agent for that part of the job, in the systems you already run. It does only what it is scoped to do, and anything that matters goes to a person first.

It passes the test, then you sign off
The agent sits the same Storm simulation your people did, against the same rubric. If it clears the bar, you approve it for live work, and it is measured against the metric you picked on day one.
"Supplier invoices wait 9 days for approval. Six teams raised it. Nobody knows who owns the chase."
- Agent Chase stuck invoices and route each to its budget owner
- Person Approve anything over the limit, or anything unusual
Illustrative. One finding, one job, split in two. What the agent may do, and what stays with a person, is decided before it is built.
- Needs you
- Person Invoice over limit · Northwind Supply
- Done by the agent
- Agent Routed 41 invoices to their owners
- Agent Chased 12 approvals past 3 days
- The metric
- Metric Days to approve · 9 at the start
Illustrative. An example company with made-up numbers.
The metric is chosen before the work starts, so the agent can be judged.
It sits the same test as a person.
Before an agent goes near live work, it is put in the same Storm simulation your people took, against the same rubric. Every score points to the moment it came from. If it does not clear the bar, it does not go live.
Scope
One job, written down, with what the agent may and may not do.
Test
The same live simulation a person sits, scored the same way.
Sign off
A person approves it for live work, and stays in the loop.
Measure
Judged against the metric you chose on day one.
Approval agent
Finance · scored 88 · bar is 60
Found the budget owner from the purchase order and escalated on the first reply. Kept the supplier informed without promising a date it could not keep. Handed the over-limit invoice to a person instead of approving it.
Same rubric as the 6 people on the team. Three of them are now in training for escalation.
Illustrative. The bar is written down before anyone, person or agent, sits the test.
People stay in the loop. Here is how.
An agent that acts on your business is a real decision. These are the rules every one of ours follows.
A person signs off
Every agent has a named owner on your side. Anything over a limit, or outside the normal pattern, goes to them before it happens.
It does one job
The scope is written down before it is built. The agent can only reach the systems and actions that job needs.
It passes before it acts
No agent goes live without clearing the same simulation and rubric we hold a person to.
Measured, not assumed
You choose the metric on day one. The agent is judged on that number, not on how good the demo looked.
Built where it pays off
We only build an agent where the evidence says it saves real time or money. If it does not, we will tell you.
Starts small
One area of the business, one job, one metric. It grows only once it has earned it.
What people ask before they hand work to an agent.
Do I need Candoor and Storm first?
No. They make it faster to find where an agent will pay off and to set the bar it has to clear. If you already know the problem, we can start there.
Will it replace my people?
It takes the repetitive part of a job. A person stays in the loop for anything that matters, and Storm shows where your people need training rather than replacing.
What does an agent work with?
The systems you already run. We scope access to what the one job needs and nothing more.
How do I know it worked?
You choose one metric before we start. The agent is judged against it, and you see the number week by week.
Tell us what you want to automate.
A sentence is enough to start. A person reads every message and replies.
- Who it is for
Companies with a process that eats people's time, or a problem Candoor has already found.
- What it needs
One area of the business, someone who owns it, and a metric you want to move.
- What happens next
We talk it through, and tell you honestly whether an agent will pay off there.
