Episode notes
Generate Internal Proof With Small Pilot Benchmarks
- Do run internal pilots and measure time-for-task to demonstrate efficiency gains to skeptical staff.
- Paul advises benchmarking a recurring task (e.g., a monthly report) and comparing hours before and after AI with paid models.
Measure Time Saved By Breaking Workflows Into Tasks
- Do estimate time savings by breaking workflows into tasks and using consistent estimation (e.g., Fibonacci) if you lack tracked time data.
- Paul draws on 16 years of agency time data and recommends structured task-level benchmarking.
Centralize Prompts And Outputs For Portability
- Do keep documented workflows, prompts, and outputs in shared docs so you can port skills between models.
- Mike Kaput stores 'skills' from Claude Code as markdown in Google Drive and Paul journals prompts and outputs as an audit trail.
