Key statistics
20 minutes vs 3 hours
Time difference between expert estimator and 24 other team members to produce roofing estimates
75% accuracy
Accuracy rate achieved by non-expert estimators compared to the experienced specialist
3x faster
Speed increase for employees who effectively use AI compared to peers without AI proficiency
20 questions
Structured limit for AI interviews to maintain focus and cover essential expertise comprehensively
Supporting context
The methodology uses three sequential phases requiring no coding or technical configuration. Users copy prompts directly into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, answer AI-generated questions, and receive structured outputs. The first phase conducts a 20-question AI interview to extract expert knowledge into documentation. Phase two identifies automation opportunities and recommends specific tools. Phase three converts the process into reusable prompt templates for organizational deployment, addressing both tribal knowledge and the AI capability gap.
