Rather than hand Kit a tool, Casper built capability. The sprint started by mapping where AI could remove real work, then built production automations alongside the team — the headline one collapsing quarterly reporting into a one-click process. They developed internal champions and left behind reusable prompt libraries so the team could extend the work without Casper. Framing mattered: the goal was to make AI feel like leverage, not extra work. The reporting automation alone cut that task's time by 75%, reclaiming 512+ hours of manager time and an estimated $50K+ in annual productivity value.
