Praxis / Public work challenges / v01
Can AI help finish the work, with the source, authority, and outcome still intact?
Praxis is what our research looks like once it has to survive a real operation. Start with the job in front of you, not a platform tour.
Choose a work challengeThe shared pipeline
We compare the eight challenges by conversion and verified work, not by raw attention.
The eight doors
Each page shows a fictional worked example and an ungated operating resource. Neither is a product result or customer proof.
Sales engineering, customer trust, security, and RevOps leaders at US B2B software companies
A prospect questionnaire, DDQ, or RFP is due within five business days.
Founders, business development leads, and capture managers at US federal contractors
A live solicitation or recompete is due within 7 to 21 days.
Owners, general managers, and service managers at 5 to 50 technician HVAC, plumbing, or electrical companies
Calls are being missed after hours or during demand peaks.
Client-services, implementation, customer-success, and project-delivery leaders
A client call or email from the last 72 hours contains commitments, an unresolved decision, or a deliverable due within 14 days.
Implementation, professional-services, and customer-success leaders
A customer milestone due within 14 days is stalled by ownership, input, scope, or dependency.
Heads of support or customer experience and operations leaders
A repeated support topic has a documented policy and known back-office action, but still creates manual work or poor handoffs.
Resolution readiness audit
Inspect the workflow Get the free evaluation plan and scorecardControllers, AR leaders, finance leaders, and founders at US B2B companies
An invoice is overdue, a promised-payment date was missed, or a new dispute appeared.
Procurement, finance operations, IT, security, and legal-operations leaders
A software, service, equipment, vendor, or renewal request needs an authorized decision.
New offers, first round
Each page states one buyer, one job, one price basis, and one next step. Examples use invented data. Every request is reviewed by a person and does not start a service.
Owner or operations manager at a 10 to 200 person US services business (home services, dental or med spa, property management, auto service, small law or accounting firm) that switched on an AI receptionist or AI voice agent in the past twelve months and has nobody reading its calls
A customer complains about the robot, an emergency or a booking is mishandled, or the answering vendor's renewal arrives and nobody in the building can say whether the agent is doing the job.
A scored ledger of 50 calls with a citation for every finding, the missed escalations named, and five changes written as edits to the buyer's own agent settings $750 per review, 50 calls.
See the offerOwner or head of operations at a US direct-to-consumer or Shopify Plus brand with 5 to 150 employees, the person who personally assembles dispute evidence today. Above roughly 60 people this is the customer experience lead or the controller.
A dispute notification lands with a response deadline on the platform clock, in a week the team is already short-handed.
A submission-ready evidence packet as one printable black-and-white document, the field-by-field text for the platform evidence form, and a one-page note naming every record that was missing. $185 per dispute, after a free record check.
See the offerOwner or purchasing lead at a US contract machine shop, sheet metal fabricator or commercial printer with 10 to 100 people, where one person prices outside processes inside every customer quote and also does five other jobs
A quote went out with a guessed plating or heat treat number that ate the margin, or a quote was missed because two of three suppliers never replied before the customer deadline.
One comparison sheet per job: each approved supplier's price, lead time, minimum and conditions quoted verbatim, with non-responders named $150 per sourcing request.
See the offerOwners and operations leads of US owner-operated businesses under 100 people who want a defensible hours number for one back-office task
An argument about whether one back-office task is worth fixing, or a quote nobody can evaluate, and no one in the room has the number.
Owner or general manager of a US residential and light commercial HVAC contractor with 10 to 80 employees, installing and servicing one or two brands under dealer agreements
The one office person who knew the manufacturer portals left, and nobody has filed a warranty parts claim since.
A claim register of every warranty-flagged job in the last 180 days, flagged live or time-barred, with up to twelve drafted claim packets $600 per Warranty Credit Audit.
See the offerHow it works
Run the fictional sample, examine its boundary, and download the ungated operating resource. No confidential input is needed.
If the case is live, tell us the company, work email, team size, and first workflow. Applications are reviewed. Applying does not guarantee access.
Before any live work, we agree on authority, exclusions, a benchmark, and the observable outcome. A generated artifact does not count by itself.
One initiative, two views
Aligned investigates when an AI-generated artifact becomes accountable organizational work. These challenge pages make the same question commercially falsifiable: did the buyer get a verified outcome, safely, with less burden?
