An expert on tap for a small firm
Sector Boutique professional services firm, around twenty five fee earners.
The situation
Knowledge lived in a few senior heads and a decade of scattered documents. Junior staff interrupted seniors constantly, and new hires took months before they could answer a client without help.
What CAPIO did
We built an internal knowledge assistant over the firm's own document store, so any staff member could ask a question in plain English and get a sourced answer in seconds. Retrieval built with Ragie over their shared drive, answers generated with a governed model, access controlled so the assistant only ever sees what a given role should see.
The outcome
- Answer lookup down from around twenty minutes of searching to seconds *representative*
- New hire ramp cut from roughly twelve weeks to about five *representative*
- Senior time protected for client work rather than internal questions *representative*
It is like having our most experienced partner available to everyone at once.
