100%+ development output: practical AI, no hype.
A California government technology and compliance consultancy with two bottlenecks: a development team behind on delivery, and a compliance team burning hours on document work.
// the situation
Limited headcount, growing backlog, and no appetite for a splashy "AI transformation" that doesn't ship anything.
// what we did
Matched specific tools to actual workflows. The development team got Claude Code for code generation, refactoring, testing, and debugging inside their existing environment. The compliance team — already on Microsoft 365 — got Copilot configured for document drafting, spreadsheet work, and meeting prep. No new platforms; strategy and training only.
// results
> Development output up more than 100% — double the work, same team.
> Compliance hours recovered from administrative overhead.
> Built on subscriptions they already owned.
