Two firms compared after the OxygenIT 90 Day AI Challenge: Firm A with no AI plan versus Firm B with AI in production, team trained, governance built in, owner home at five

Firm A

Twelve staff. Eight years in the market. Solid reputation. The owner is the bottleneck. Every paraplanning-style task, every client report, every proposal draft, every internal doc still runs through the owner on a Sunday night. The team is competent. The clients are loyal. The fees are reasonable. The owner is tired.

Eighteen months from now, Firm A is still the bottleneck. The owner is still tired. The market has moved. The fees are under pressure. The competitors are using AI to undercut. The firm is on the wrong side of the divide.

Firm B

Same twelve staff. Same starting point. The owner took a discovery call in early 2026 and started the 90 Day AI programme. They built the workflows. They put the AI policy in place. They trained the team. They automated the work that should never have needed the owner. They did not lose the client relationship. They got the weeks back.

Firm B is shipping the next round of client work. The owner is in the room for the hard calls. The team is faster. The fees are higher. The clients are still there, and they are bringing their friends. The firm is on the right side of the divide.

Same starting point. Different futures. The window is open now. It will not stay open.

Why most AI rollouts fail, and why this one does not

Most AI rollouts fail for the same three reasons: a tool gets bought but never governed, no one owns adoption, and the whole thing runs on enthusiasm instead of a system. The 90 Day AI Challenge is built the other way round. It is a governed workflow build, with staged adoption using the 20/60/20 model (20% of your team adopt early, 60% follow once they see the wins, the last 20% once it is normal), run 1:1 by the person who did it inside his own firm first. Every part is there for a reason.

The Oxygen AI Framework – 90-day challenge

Three months. Three phases. One working system your team uses every day.

MONTH 1 – AUDIT

Assess readiness. Map processes. Score use cases. Build the business case.

MONTH 2 – ACTIVATE

Build templates. Train the team. Get the first use case live in production.

MONTH 3 – ACCELERATE

Expand adoption. Track results. Handover a working, transferable system.

What you walk away with

At the end of 90 days, your business has:

Custom AI Playbook

CRIT templates (Context, Role, Interview, Task) – reusable prompt templates built for your specific business processes. Not generic. Yours.

A Trained Team

Not just shown how. Supported through actual adoption using the 20/60/20 model.

Governance Framework

A practical AI governance policy and risk register for your business. Not a certification, but the foundation for one.

Measured ROI

Hours saved, output quality, and adoption rates tracked. Proof for your board or your buyers.

This is not a report that sits on a shelf. It is a working system your team uses every day.

Who this is for

This is for you if

  • You are an owner, director, or partner of an NZ or AU service business with 10 to 200 staff.
  • Your sector is agencies, consultancies, law, accounting, IT, design, architecture, or engineering.
  • You are the bottleneck in your own business, and you know it.
  • Your leadership team wants AI in production, not in a browser tab.
  • You need governance and adoption, not another tool.

This is not for you if

  • Your business has under 10 staff. The engagement is built for firms with enough workflow complexity to benefit.
  • You are looking for a software demo. This is not a tool sale, it is a workflow build.
  • You want a report on a shelf. The 90 days is hands-on and your team has to be in the room.
  • You are a sole trader or solo founder. The 20/60/20 model needs a team to land.

15 minutes. Tim runs the call himself. If it is not a fit, he will tell you.

Built by the only NZ MSP dual certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001

OxygenIT has been running AI in production inside our own firm for over two years. We did not buy a course and repackage it. We built the workflows, ran them on our own client files, and broke things until we got them right.

The dual ISO certification is not a marketing badge. It is the governance structure that lets us deploy AI in a regulated environment without exposing the business. The same structure we use to put AI in production for NZ and AU service businesses like yours.

Why this matters: the rebuild

Three years ago, OxygenIT was running a $4M-revenue client base that nearly broke the firm. The acquisition that took us there left us with the revenue but none of the margin, a stretched team, and the owner on every escalation.

So we did the thing most NZ MSPs will not do. We cut the client base by about 80%, kept the clients we could actually serve well, and rebuilt the firm around the work that mattered. Today OxygenIT runs lean, profitable, and aligned. Retention is 98%, and the phone is answered in under 11 seconds.

This is not a course we bought and repackaged. It is what we did, written down, so your firm can do it too.

20+ years in the NZ market
100+ NZ businesses served
450+ employees and endpoints under management
Sub-11-second phone response
98% customer retention (2022 to 2025)
ISO/IEC 27001 + ISO/IEC 42001 dual certified

Tim is taking a limited number of firms at the founding-client rate of $2,997 per month while the first case-study cohort is being built. He runs this 1:1, one firm at a time, so places are genuinely capped. Whether a place is still open is confirmed on the discovery call.

A fit-based guarantee

If within the first 30 days you do not have a business case worth acting on, you can stop there and pay for only that first month. No obligation to continue.

15 minutes. Tim runs the call himself. If it is not a fit, he will tell you.

WEEKS 5 TO 8

FAQ

How much is the 90 Day AI Challenge?

Standard rate is $4,997 per month ($14,991 total). The founding-client rate is $2,997 per month ($8,991 total) for a limited number of places while the first case-study cohort is being built, confirmed on the discovery call. The standalone value of the included work is $39,000+.

Is the founding-client rate genuine or a fake discount?

Genuine. The standard rate is $4,997 per month and returns once the founding cohort is full. Founding firms trade a lower rate for being early and for providing a case study once they have results. It is a real trade, not a permanent markdown dressed up as a deal.

What happens on the discovery call?

Fifteen minutes, run by Tim himself. It is a fit check: your situation, whether the engagement suits your firm, and whether a founding-rate place is still open. No sales team, no follow-up sequence, no chasing. If it is not a fit, Tim will tell you on the call.

Is this a 1:1 engagement or a group programme?

1:1. Tim works directly with your leadership team. The engagement is built for one firm at a time, and we take a maximum of 5 firms per month.

What is the time commitment from our team?

Expect 3 to 5 hours per week from the owner or MD, plus 1 to 2 hours per week from the implementation lead. The team training (20/60/20 model) is sequenced across the 90 days.

Do I need a tech team to do this?

No. The engagement is built for service business leaders, not IT teams. The governance, the workflows, and the training are designed to be run by the leadership team with OxygenIT’s hands-on support.

What if we are already using AI?

Good. The Audit phase (Month 1) maps what you have, what works, and what is missing. The 90 days is about putting AI in production, not starting from zero.

What is the GEO Audit and AI Visibility Report?

A report on how your business shows up in AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), plus a 30-day action plan with the specific changes that will move the needle on your AI visibility. Included in the 90 Day AI Challenge, no extra fee.

What happens after the 90 days?

A working system. A trained team. A handover package. Plus a quarterly AI Health Check at 90 days post-completion. The ongoing engagement model, including the retainer, is scoped and priced at the end of the 90 days based on what your firm needs and the complexity of the next stage. We will not pre-sell you something we have not yet designed with you.

Is the AI Governance Policy a certification?

No. The policy and risk framework are non-certified, meaning they are the foundation for a future certification (such as ISO 42001) but do not carry a third-party seal on their own. The policy is built to the same standard OxygenIT used to earn its own ISO 42001.

Can I bring more than 5 leaders to the AI Digital Course?

5 leaders is the included cohort. If your firm wants more than 5 seats, discuss it with Tim on the discovery call. The exact number is workable based on the engagement.

What is the 20/60/20 Adoption Programme?

20% of your team adopt AI early, 60% follow once they see the early wins, the last 20% adopt once it is the new normal. A staged adoption model that avoids the “all or nothing” failure mode of most AI rollouts.

What is the AI Advantage Community?

A private Skool community for the 90 Day AI Challenge cohort. Free access for 90 days from your engagement start date. Ask questions, share wins, swap prompts, see what other NZ and AU service businesses are building.

How do I get started?
