SMB engagements currently in discovery or pilot. Every projected outcome is reproducible from the underlying tool's demo data — we don't claim completed client results until they're closed and the client signs off on the number.

Stanton Insurance Agency

Ascero AI stack
Renewal RadarCross-Sell FinderPolicy Diff ReaderReview Velocity Engine
Problem

Stanton runs an $8.4M book with 47% of renewals touched manually by CSRs over 3-4 phone calls each. That's $84K of first-year premium bleeding to competitors every cycle because at-risk accounts surface too late to save.

Solution

Discovery Sprint (2 weeks). Ingested 3 years of policy history into Renewal Radar, wired Cross-Sell against monoline gaps, Policy Diff for shop-the-account saves, and Review Engine for post-bind trust signal.

Projected outcome

Projected $84K first-year retained premium + 47% reduction in renewal-call hours (from ~620 CSR hrs/quarter to ~328). Save-rate lift from 61% → 84% on accounts flagged 30+ days out.

Commission Reclaim Bot
Problem

Bella Luna does ~$1.38M/yr through DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub. An audit of 90 days of order receipts surfaced $4,146 in documented overcharges — missing items billed, commission miscalcs, and promo fees applied after campaign end.

Solution

Pilot kickoff this week. Commission Reclaim Bot plugged into their POS export; scans every marketplace statement against order truth, auto-drafts dispute packets with receipt screenshots + line-item math the platforms have to honor.

Projected outcome

Projected $16,584/yr recovered (extrapolated from the 90-day audit). Zero owner time — bot runs weekly, delivers dispute drafts to the GM's inbox Monday morning.

Hanley Consulting LLC

Ascero AI stack
Tax Organizer GeneratorIRS Notice Responder
Problem

Hanley serves 150 individual + small-business tax clients. Organizer prep alone runs 4-6 hours per client in Jan-Feb; IRS notice responses eat another 2-3 hours each. That's 600-900 billable-equivalent hours their 3-person team can't afford.

Solution

Engagement starting May 2026. Tax Organizer Generator ingests prior-year 1040s/1120S and pre-fills client questionnaires. IRS Notice Responder drafts CP2000, CP14, and LT11 responses with citation-ready IRC references.

Projected outcome

Projected 600-900 hours saved across the 2026 tax season — roughly one full-time equivalent clawed back without hiring. Capacity to onboard 40+ new clients without adding headcount.

Cambridge Family Medicine

Ascero AI stack
HIPAA Starter KitNo-Show PredictorClaims Denial Analyzer
Problem

A 4-provider family practice running ~120 visits/day. No-show rate sits at 14% (vs. 8% specialty benchmark) — that's $24K+/yr in lost slots. Compounding risk: HHS OCR ramps HIPAA enforcement in May 2026 and the practice has no current Security Risk Analysis on file.

Solution

Discovery Sprint (2 weeks). HIPAA Starter Kit generates the §164.308 SRA, BAA library, and breach-response playbook. No-Show Predictor scores every appointment 48h out. Claims Denial Analyzer triages CO-45/CO-97 rejects by root cause.

Projected outcome

Projected $24,180/yr recovered from no-show reduction (14% → 8%) + HIPAA-audit-ready documentation in hand before the May 2026 OCR enforcement window. Claims denial rework cut ~30%.

2026 AI deployments worth knowing about

The same patterns we build into Ascero AI Agent Packs — running at Fortune 500 scale. Click any case study to read the source on the vendor's site.

M&A / buyer sourcing

OffDeal

Published

Replaced a $12,000-per-week buyer-sourcing team with one Claude agent.

$12,000 + 1 week → $200 per search · 25% → 85% eval accuracy

Small-business M&A firm used to hire a research team to find qualified buyers for each listing — about $12K + one week per search. OffDeal rebuilt the workflow with Claude Agent SDK. Cost dropped to ~$200 per search, accuracy eval jumped from 25% to 85%, and the platform closed 8 deals totaling $91M with just 2 bankers.

E-commerce operations

Duvo @ Rohlik

Published

Unlocked €2.8M in annualized margin across a European grocery chain in 3 months.

€2.8M+ annualized · 78% → 93% availability · 40% capacity freed

Rohlik, a major European online grocer, plugged Duvo's AI agents into supply-chain ops. Within 2 weeks, stock availability jumped from 78% to 93%. Over 3 months the system unlocked €2.8M+ in annualized margin and freed 40%+ of the ops team's capacity for higher-leverage work.

Legal / corporate counsel

GC AI

Published

Gave 1,500 in-house legal teams back 14 hours per lawyer, every week.

14 hrs/wk saved · 21% accuracy lift · 14% less outside-counsel spend

GC AI built a corporate-counsel copilot on Claude. Across 1,500+ companies, each in-house lawyer saves ~14 hours/week on routine review, matter-management, and research. Accuracy on contract-review tasks improved 21%. Outside-counsel spend dropped 14% across their customer base.

Cash-flow / CFO tools

Agicap

Published

Shipped an AI cash-flow copilot that SMB owners use to re-forecast in minutes, not weeks.

3 weeks → 15 minutes forecast turnaround

Agicap's AI layer turned monthly/quarterly re-forecasting into an in-app conversation. SMB finance teams that used to spend 3 weeks on rolling forecasts now do them in under 15 minutes, including scenario modeling against funding events + invoice slippage.

Sales training / coaching

Sandler Training

Published

Replayed every sales rep call against a custom methodology coach.

100% call coverage (vs <10% via humans) · 2-4 pt conversion lift

Sandler trained a Claude-powered coach on 50 years of proprietary sales methodology. Every rep call now gets reviewed against the framework — where before only ~1 in 10 got human review. Early-adopter customers report a 2-4 point lift in close rate.

Banking

BBVA

Published

Deployed Claude to 120,000 bank employees with measured productivity gains.

120k seats · avg 3 hrs/wk/employee saved

BBVA is one of the largest full-seat Claude Enterprise deployments in 2026. Internal time-tracking across pilot cohorts showed average ~3 hrs/week/employee reclaimed from meeting prep, document drafting, and knowledge search. Scale applies a cautionary note — gains were material but required heavy change-management.

Consumer tech

Snap

Published

Cut feature-spec review cycles from days to hours across the product org.

5-day review → same-day turnaround

Snap's product organization ran every new feature spec through a Claude-based review pipeline that checks against prior specs, compliance policy, and technical constraints. What used to be a 5-day human review loop is now same-day for ~80% of specs.

Metrics cited are from the linked source URLs (Anthropic customer pages + public filings). Ascero AI does not claim authorship of these deployments — we built Agent Packs that apply the same mechanism for SMB budgets.
