The Slocat Method

The Value Loop™

Slocat Group puts AI agents to work running the real work of your business — installed on infrastructure you control. The Value Loop is how we choose that work, stand the agent up, and keep it earning its keep.

The Value Loop — Plan, Do, Check, Adjust Patrick Kieffaber on the method behind every install · 12 min
What you're actually getting

Agents that do the work — not more software to babysit.

★

An agent that runs the process

Not another dashboard. A working AI agent that actually does the job — answering, drafting, scheduling, reconciling, following up — day in, day out.

★

On infrastructure you control

It runs on systems you own, wired into the tools you already use. You stop renting software you don't fully control — and your data stays yours.

★

Your team in the driver's seat

We install it, integrate it, and teach your people to run it. The point isn't to make you need us forever — it's to hand you the keys.

Why most AI rollouts stall

The tools work. The rollouts don't.

5%

BCG · 1,250+ companies studied
~1%
rate their own AI rollout as mature.
McKinsey · State of AI
40%+
of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027.

Those projects aren't failing because the AI is weak. They're failing because there's no method — no baseline, no number, no way to tell a win from a vibe. The Value Loop is that method.

The method

Plan. Do. Check. Adjust — pointed at one process at a time.

A simple, disciplined loop borrowed from Toyota's playbook and aimed at your operations. Each pass stands up an agent, proves it, and makes it better.

01
Plan

Scope the work

Understand the business, pick the process worth agentizing, and define what "good" looks like from the customer's side. Set the target we'll measure against.

You get

A one-page plan: the process, the target, and where an agent fits.

02
Do

Put the agent to work

★Install★Integrate★Teach

Stand up an AI agent on the process, wire it into your existing tools, and teach your team to run it. Start with one process that matters — not ten.

You get

A working agent, live and owned by your team.

03
Check

Prove it earns its keep

Measure the agent against the target. Is it doing the work, saving the time, holding the quality? A number, not a hunch — and an honest read on what's still rough.

You get

A clear before-and-after on the metric that matters.

04
Adjust

Tune it, then go again

Improve the agent, trim the waste you can now see, and standardize what works — then point the loop at the next process. Better every pass.

You get

A sharper agent, a set standard, and the next target teed up.

↻

It's a loop, not a project. Every pass makes the agent better and the business leaner — the improvement never stops.

Our bias

We lean toward cutting what doesn't serve the customer. That's the Toyota discipline running underneath the loop — a bias for removing steps, hand-offs, and cost a customer would never knowingly pay for.

But we're straight with you about it: a working agent comes first. Plenty of agents go live running processes that are still messy — and that's fine. The waste comes out over time, inside the loop, as we tune and standardize — not as a promise to perfect everything before we start.
