Friction hits your people first
Six signs the work moves through people instead of systems.
Your software does not share data, so duplicate entry is common.
Your COO reconciles invoices. Your senior engineer retypes specs out of a PDF.
The monthly report gets rebuilt by hand from data that already lives in your systems.
One person is the only one who knows how something gets done.
You are paying for AI seats that nobody built into the work.
You turned down a project last quarter because nobody had the bandwidth.
Nobody has put a number on the manual work yet
At a 20 person engineering firm, we documented every recurring task and priced each one.
141
recurring tasks eating time
236
hours for one pass through all of them
$31,700
in staff time, each pass
That is a little over one full-time employee, spent on work nobody was hired to do.
How it works
Identify the Bottleneck
We interview the people doing the work. You get a spreadsheet of every recurring task eating time, what each one costs in hours and dollars, and how each one would be solved. Then we rank them by ROI.
Build in waves
One outcome per wave, fixed price, agreed before anything starts. Your processes stay. Your software stays. The work keeps moving while we build.
Maintain the systems
Every system moves to a monthly agreement. Weekly monitoring, fixes, and adjustments as your business changes. A dashboard shows what got done.
Three ways to work together
Discovery and Roadmap
Find out where the time is going and what the time costs you, with a fixed price to fix the problem.
Education
Workshops, training, and speaking for teams and associations who want their people using AI well.
AI implementation and training for public agencies
Agencies lose hours to retyped data and rebuilt reports. Staff get AI tools with no guidance on safe use. Inkyma, a woman-owned small business, builds the systems and trains the people.
Contracting details
I ran this on my own company first
I’m passionate about helping business owners cut through the noise and actually understand what AI can do for them. I love seeing teams realize they don’t have to struggle with overwhelm or outdated processes. When people experience that shift, from uncertainty to clarity and confidence, that’s the work that energizes me and keeps me committed to this field.
I did all of this with my company first and saw some amazing results. I reduced Inkyma’s expenses by 40% and grew by 25% in a year without adding headcount, which USA Today covered in an article they wrote about us.
Share your bottleneck
Takes about three minutes. Tell me what is wearing your team down.
If the problem is one Inkyma can solve, you get a booking link within a day. If not, I point you somewhere better. Discovery engagements start at $2,500.
