→ Agent understands context. → Agent qualifies. → Agent follows up. → Agent schedules. → Human handles the relationship where judgment matters. → System records what happened.

That’s not “AI automation.”

That’s an operating system for the business.

And the smaller business may actually have an advantage here:

fewer layers to unwind.
