Available now
Volume 1 is written for commercial teams in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC).
Twelve AI workflows – with the complete prompt toolkit – to quote in hours, cut proposal effort and win more tenders.
Every workflow in Volume 1 pairs automation with the process discipline that makes it pay.

Free

Next volumes
Five volumes are in development: AI for key account management, strategy development, the delivery side – inspection, laboratory and reporting workflows – global market access, and marketing a trust business. The order they arrive in depends partly on what readers ask for.
