Beyond the Numbers

◆

Consistent quality — AI output scored against measurable standards (voice patterns, structure, scoring rubrics) every run

◆

Speed to market — publish while customer conversations are warm; respond to competitive moments in days, not weeks

◆

Compounding platform — each new Claude skill or MCP tool adds capability at near-zero marginal cost on top of the initial investment
