We build the foundation your AI roadmap assumes you already have
Your operating partners set the value creation plan. When it says “adopt AI” or “automate operations,” Reflex is who makes it real: we document how the portfolio company actually runs, connect the systems, and build the fixes that pay — measured, in production, inside the first 100 days.
Where Reflex fits
Your value creation plan has an AI line item. We’re the execution under it.
You bought the platform at 8x. The value creation plan targets revenue and financial structure, and somewhere on it is a line about AI or automation. That line assumes the company's operations are documented and its systems talk to each other. They usually aren't, and they usually don't.
So the AI initiative stalls, or it automates the wrong thing. We remove that risk. Reflex documents how the company actually runs, connects the systems, and builds the automations that pay — measured, in production, inside the first 100 days.
Actual savings depend on company size, industry, and operational maturity. Average finding across diagnostics: $287K a year in operating savings.

Process Layer
What We Find That You Don’t
You've seen this at Month 6 of a hold period. The question nobody asked during the 100-day plan. We find it at Day 30.
“The AP team manually reconciles vendor invoices across two systems every week because nobody ever built the integration. Cost: 0.5 FTE, ~$35K/year.”
“Customer onboarding requires 14 handoffs across 3 departments with data re-entry at each step. Average cycle time: 3x what it should be.”
“The ops team built a workaround in Excel that routes around a broken workflow in the ERP. It works. It also absorbs 6 hours/week from two people.”
Representative patterns from typical diagnostics. Not case studies. Every company's waste profile is different.
