A focused pilot group
Staff from the departments with the most to gain.
PILOT PARTNER PROGRAM
Now taking pilot partners.
A focused pilot on one workflow. We map it, build the automation or the software, and measure the time saved. Scope and success criteria are in writing before we start.
PILOT TARGET
35%
Pilot target: 35% less time on selected workflows. A goal we set together, not a measured result. Measured as the change in median staff time per task, including review time, against a baseline we time before go-live.
We'd rather earn references than invent them.
Saddle Tree is new. We don't have client logos or case studies to show you, and we won't fake them. What we have is a complete plan, a working platform design, and the time to give our first partners close, hands-on attention. Our pilot partners get that attention. We get honest feedback and the chance to prove the work.
A fixed scope, written down
Two workflows
Usually document and policy Q&A plus one automation, such as paperwork intake or email drafting.
Written success criteria
Response time, number of users and the workflows themselves, all agreed in writing before any hardware is ordered.
Measured results
We time the chosen workflows before go-live, measure again during the pilot, and report usage and time saved every month.
How a pilot runs
Step 01: Discover
Map the work, time it, and agree the scope.
Step 02: Build
Install on your network, connect the workflow, and train a small group.
Step 03: Measure
Track time, quality and use. Then decide together whether to expand.
A 90-day shape once scope and access are agreed. Hardware and your review set the real dates.
Who's a good fit
Good fit
- An organization that handles sensitive information
- In Central Kentucky, where we can meet in person, or anywhere we can meet on a video call
- At least one workflow that clearly eats hours every week
- A leader who will sponsor the pilot, and an IT contact who can make time
- Willing to share honest feedback, including what didn't work
Probably not yet
- Organizations that need 24/7 support from day one
- Projects that need AI to write directly into core systems or make decisions on its own
A fair exchange
What you get
- Pilot partners receive discounted pricing.
- Our team on site for install and closely involved throughout
- Real input into what we build next
- A system you own, documented so it does not live in one person's head
What we ask
- A 12-month minimum on the support plan after go-live
- Honest, regular feedback
- Permission to mention you by name, only with your written approval
Is the pilot free?Show answerHide answer
No. The consultation is free. Pilot work is paid, at pilot-partner pricing. Paid work keeps both sides serious. You own the hardware and your data, and the workflows we build for you are documented and maintained under your agreement.
What if the pilot doesn't hit the target?Show answerHide answer
Then we tell you so, with the numbers. The 35% figure is a target, not a promise. The review at the end compares results against the success criteria we agreed in writing.
Do we have to buy the full server for a pilot?Show answerHide answer
Not always. Some pilots start with a limited user group, or on our smaller S1 system while the production server is on order, and move to the production tier once the results justify it.
Will you name us publicly?Show answerHide answer
Only with your written approval.
How many pilot partners are you taking?Show answerHide answer
A small number. We'd rather do a few well.
