What we take off your plate

Strategy decks don't move freight or close books. Every engagement ends in working systems — and starts with evidence.

01

Implementation

AI deployed into production — from model and vendor selection to systems integration. Wired into your stack, not bolted on beside it.

Automation & workflows

Intricate, multi-step flows that handle the work between the work — intake, routing, follow-ups, reconciliation — reliably, at volume.

fig. 02 — where the hours actually go

A consultancy that ships.

Four stages, one owner, no handoff to a mystery offshore team. The people who audit your operation are the people who build.

The operational overview

We embed with your team, map every workflow end to end, and quantify where hours and margin actually go.

The blueprint

A prioritized plan: which bottlenecks to remove, which workflows to automate, what to leave alone — ranked by return.

The build

Our engineers build automations and integrations into the tools you already use. No rip-and-replace, no new logins.

LEAK

Quotes re-typed into three systems by two different employees.

≈ 14 hrs/week recoverable through one intake workflow

BOTTLENECK

Every approval in the company waits on one person's inbox.

Cycle time −60% with rules-based routing and escalation

BLIND SPOT

Nobody can say which jobs are profitable until quarter end.

Weekly margin visibility from data you already collect

Illustrative examples — your audit reports your numbers.

9–15 hrs

recoverable per employee, per week, in a typical back office

THE FIRM

Built by operators.
Wired by engineers.

Chinou Group keeps a deliberately small bench: people who have run operations and people who build production systems, working as one team. We take on a limited number of engagements at a time, we're independent of every vendor we recommend, and we measure ourselves the way you do — hours returned, cycle times cut, leaks closed.
