human gate — the engine prepares, a person passes it · the employee that works this step
Three questions come up in the first ten minutes of any serious conversation: where does the data live, who can make it send something, and what is the trail. Here are the answers as they are built, not as they are promised.
BDC's own report says financing-plus-advisory clients grow revenue at up to twice the Canadian average. This is what the advisory half looks like when it is delivered as working software to a company BDC already carries.
The entry tier reads what arrives and drafts what leaves. The specialists work across systems and across time — they analyse, plan and forecast, and they still never act without a person.
Quote & Proposal, Order Status, Document Request, Vendor Comms, AR & Collections, Inbox Triage, Follow-Up, Voice Reception. Proven, fast to deploy, the $1,500/month product.
Reconcile a job against its quote while it's still on the floor. Read a 400-page tender and score it. Catch the tolerance problem before the factory does. Trace a complaint to a lot and a shift.
Draft the PO five days before the shelf is empty. Re-sequence crews when a supplier slips and cost every option. Run three rounds of supplier bids inside bounds the owner set.
A 13-week cash view from the books, using each customer's real pay behaviour. A tariff notice priced against every SKU it touches. A brief before every sales call.
An RFQ at 11pm becomes a DFM check, supplier bids, a margin analysis and a finished quote draft by 7am — with a one-paragraph brief and every decision left to the owner.
Connectors into the ERP, the books, the mailbox and the document store. It reads what is true and writes what a human approved. Nothing leaves without a named person's approval, of any kind.
The same path for every business. The client sees value in week one and never gives up control.
Their workflow, their hard rules, the number everything keys to, and the way they write. This becomes the brain.
Agents watch real traffic and physically cannot send. Every gap against what the human did becomes a rule.
Sending switches on. Every action still waits for a named human — trust is earned by being watched being right.
Full deployment, monitored, with a weekly report their owner reads. Scope grows one employee at a time.
