Why the cases matter
Foundry is strongest where sensitive documents, tickets, knowledge or code already exist and the AI job is repeatable, reviewable and auditable.
Evidence first
Five workloads where local AI earns its place.
A serious, review-led collection for teams that need proof before promises.
| Case | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Document processing | 8–13 minutes per document; 24–48 hour lag. | 20–30 second human review; under one minute processing lag. |
| Conveyancing intake | 15–20 admin hours weekly chasing documents. | 4–6 hours weekly; missing items surfaced early. |
| Client support | Routine tickets waited 4–6 hours. | Drafts ready in 12–15 minutes with human approval. |
| Knowledge search | 25–45 minutes to find internal information. | 30 seconds to 3 minutes with citations. |
| Code review | 3–5 hour PR waits; code sent to cloud AI when tested. | 15–25 minute first pass; code stays local. |
What stays human
Legal judgement, client communication approval, account changes, tax advice, architecture decisions and final PR approval remain with people.
