For Consultancies

Prove 3x value. Price your engagements accordingly.

Consultancies face two problems at once: AI delivers real client work you can't bill for, and leadership can't prove the AI investment is paying off. WhoWorked gives you the data layer to solve both.

Two problems. One data layer.

Problem 1: The billing gap

AI delivers real client work — analysis, reports, recommendations. But you can't bill for work that's invisible.

Problem 2: The mandate gap

Leadership invested in AI tools across the practice. Nobody can show leverage ratios, adoption rates, or ROI.

The problem

AI agents do real billable work. This isn't a Figma license you absorb as overhead. When Claude writes a client's test suite, that's delivery. But you can't bill for work that's invisible. Every invoice understates the value your team actually delivered.

Full attribution per engagement

Every consultant, every AI session, every equivalent hour — with leverage ratios that prove value to clients.

Sound familiar?

Your team used AI to complete a market analysis in 30 consultant-hours. The deliverable quality is exceptional — the kind of work that used to take 80 hours. But you face two conversations: the client asks what they're paying for, and the managing partner asks for proof the firm's AI investment is driving results.

WhoWorked gives you data for both. For the client: you delivered 80 hours of work product. The invoice reflects the value, not the method. For leadership: practice-wide adoption at 61% with leverage ratios proving the AI investment is paying off. Same data, two audiences. You control what each one sees.

Key benefits

Full-value billing

When AI delivers real work for a client engagement, that is billable output. Show clients what was delivered and bill for the amplified value.

Internal ROI proof

Show leadership the leverage ratio, AI adoption rate, and cost per equivalent hour across the practice. Prove the AI investment is paying off.

Margin visibility

See your real cost per engagement when AI is in the mix. Understand how AI changes your margins and price accordingly.

How it works

1

Track every engagement

Consultants log hours as usual. When they delegate to AI, they select 'Human with AI' mode and assess the output value in equivalent hours.

2

Two views, same data

Client-facing: full value delivered. Internal: leverage ratios, AI adoption, cost per equivalent hour. One data layer.

3

Bill and prove ROI

Invoice based on total value delivered. Report to leadership with practice-wide AI metrics. Same data, two audiences.

Not AI-powered time tracking. AI as a tracked contributor.

Others use AI to help you fill timesheets faster. We track what the AI actually delivered — and compute the leverage.
