Case Study

AI-assisted grant writing: from weeks to hours

A DC-based lobbying firm's grants team was spending weeks on each proposal. We built an AI-assisted workflow that cut draft time by 95% while improving compliance coverage.

WorkflowNOFO Proposal Drafting
Time to Impact~3 weeks
Before

The grants team handled everything manually: interpreting NOFO requirements, drafting narratives and budgets, running compliance checks, and formatting. A single proposal consumed weeks of senior and junior staff time. Compliance checks were tedious. Formatting ate valuable hours.

After

A multi-step AI workflow now surfaces relevant grants, produces client-ready drafts, and audits NOFO compliance before human review. Staff iterate confidently with custom GPTs and prompt libraries. The team is now pursuing more grants and focusing energy on strategy instead of writing.

What surprised me most was how it surfaced answers to questions we didn't think to ask. It sped up the busywork so much that we're pursuing more grants and focusing our energy on strategy rather than writing proposals.

Client outreach: from ad-hoc to reliable

A professional services firm's client engagement team was spending 2+ hours per update, pushing them toward reactive communication. We built a system that doubled output while reclaiming 5+ hours per week.

Time to Impact~2 weeks
Before

Each client update took ~2 hours of manual research, writing, and review. Teams defaulted to reactive, ad-hoc notes. Niche legislative changes were at risk of being missed or lightly covered. Cadence and consistency suffered.

After

Three custom GPTs form a reusable system: research, draft, and review. An AI-powered checklist plus mandatory human sign-off ensure quality. Teams are now proactive, delivering useful updates in a timely manner instead of playing catch-up.

Event recruiting: from email blasts to targeted comms

A talent and leadership development company's sales team was spending nearly a week filling each event, with a 3% response rate. We built a workflow that tripled responses and cut effort by 80%.

Time to Impact~2 weeks
Before

Reps exported contacts from Salesforce to spreadsheets, sent one-off emails to clients, and blasted generic messages to prospects. Opens hovered around ~3%, events under-performed, and a full recruiting push consumed ~5 days.

After

A three-part GPT workflow surfaces likely prospects from online activity, drafts tailored emails, and shapes LinkedIn outreach using best practices. What took nearly a week now takes a day, and even the "no's" often turn into follow-up meetings.

Filling events isn't a scramble anymore. What took nearly a week now takes a day, and even the "no's" often turn into follow-up meetings.
