We started Terum because AI spending and AI results had come apart. Every company bought the tools. Few can say what changed, and fewer have someone who answers for it.

How an engagement runs.

About three months, with an engineer on site from the first week. Each step ends with something you can check.

Lay the foundation

An engineer joins your team on site and connects Observe to the AI tools you already pay for.

You get
A baseline your finance team can check.
When
Weeks 1 to 2

Find what pays

Observe and Capture show which uses of AI pay, who does them best, and which workflows are missing.

You get
A ranked list of the workflows worth building.
When
Weeks 3 to 4

Build the key workflows

We build the missing workflows that matter most with the teams that own them, and Relay rolls them out.

You get
Those workflows in production, measured against the baseline.
When
Weeks 5 to 12

Keep building

Your people run the platform and build the next workflows on it. We stay on for support and a monthly review.

You get
A foundation your teams keep building on.
When
From week 13

What it takes, and what stays.

Little on your side, and everything we build is yours when we leave.

What we need from you

  • A sponsor with the mandate to change how teams work.
  • Access to the AI tools your teams already use, under your governance.
  • An hour a week from each team we work with.

What you keep

  • The platform, running in your environment.
  • Every workflow we build, with its measurements.
  • People trained to find and build the next ones.
  • Your data. No one reads another person’s chats.
