Case Study: JSVHQ - 92% Workload Reduction

10 min read

Disclosure: JSVHQ is owned by Leverwork's founder, Jonas Sørensen. It is not an independent client. These are results from our own internal test, not a prediction of what your business will achieve.

92%
Workload Reduction
12 months
Transformation

JSVHQ was our first internal test: an advisory firm that cut 92% of its workload through AI, with the work now running through monitored AI workflows.

The Challenge

JSVHQ provides investment advisory and consulting services. Like most professional services work, it spans several specialized functions, and output was capped by available hours.

Here's the work the firm runs on:

Research
Market research, competitor analysis, deal sourcing
Compliance
Regulatory filings, KYC/AML, documentation
Finance
Financial modeling, valuation, due diligence
Client relations
Email management, scheduling, coordination
Administration
Document management, operations
Coordination
Firm-wide coordination, vendor management

The Hypothesis

The founder questioned the "more people = more results" assumption. Professional services are knowledge work — and knowledge work is increasingly suited for intelligent systems. The question wasn't whether AI could help, but: how far could we go?

We decided to test how much repeatable knowledge work could move into monitored AI workflows.

The Solution

Over 12 months, we deployed AI agents to handle the most time-consuming, repetitive functions that didn't require human judgment or relationship skills:

01
Research

Market Research Aggregation

Before 20+ hours weekly manual scanning across sources
After AI checks at the levels set in your SOW, compiles daily briefings with insights
02
Compliance

Compliance Document Drafting

Before Manual drafting of regulatory filings from templates
After AI generates documents, populates templates, maintains audit trails
03
Finance

Financial Reporting & Modeling

Before Building models from scratch for each client
After AI accesses APIs directly, generates models and visualizations
04
Operations

Email Triage & Meeting Prep

Before 2-3 hours per meeting gathering materials
After AI prepares briefing packages 24 hours in advance
05
Knowledge

Document Management

Before Manual filing, version control, shared drive searches
After AI organizes automatically, natural language search, compliance protocols

The Results

JSVHQ now runs repeatable research, compliance, finance, and administrative work through monitored AI workflows, with the founder retaining strategic and relationship decisions.

The professional services model is fundamentally broken. We've been selling hours when we should be selling outcomes. With AI, I can deliver better outcomes faster while cutting 92% of the workload. This isn't about cutting costs — it's about proving what's actually possible.
