The problem
Much of the consultants' time goes to questions the manual already answers. Each answer means finding the right section and checking it against later bulletins that changed it.
Why it ranks first
AI Fit: the answers come from documents the brand already approved.Need to Solve: new owners ask the most questions.
What AI could do
AI drafts each answer from the manual and later bulletins, citing its source. The consultant checks and sends. Staffing and HR questions always go to a person.
What could come back
- Korravo's estimate
- About 1,400 hours a year could come back, roughly the extra question load of 120 new locations.How we got there: About 72 hours a week of manual questions across 900 locations, with AI drafting each answer for a consultant to check.
- From the team
- 14 of 18 consultants named manual questions a daily burden.
- Next step
- Try AI-drafted answers for one region's owners.
