RSFRB works inside companies of 50 to 500 people. We come on site, find where work stalls between your teams, and build what it takes to make the whole company AI-ready, then AI-enabled.
The 2026 readiness gap
70%
of employees say they're personally ready for AI.
27%
of leaders say their organization is ready.
AI made each person faster, and the work still waits at the handoff. A job changes desks without its notes. A step has no clear owner. A decision sits until the weekly meeting. That's the organization's share of AI readiness, and it gets fixed by deciding who owns what.
Data: McKinsey AI Individual & Organizational Readiness Assessment panel survey, February to April 2026 (750 employees; 608 leaders), in “AI is changing work. Now it has to change the organization,” McKinsey Quarterly, October 2026. Chart: RSFRB.
What the research says
We read McKinsey's and Deloitte's 2026 research and kept what applies to a company your size.
Finding 1
From 2025 to 2026, companies over $1 billion in revenue went from 27% to 40% scaling AI agents. Companies under $1 billion went from 21% to 22%.
Data: McKinsey Global Surveys on the state of AI, 2025 and 2026 (2026: n = 1,719). Share of organizations at least scaling AI agents. Chart: RSFRB.
Finding 2
How many companies redesigned the way work moves between their people:
Nearly 3 in 4
AI leaders. Companies where AI drives 5% or more of operating profit
1 in 4
Everyone else. All other companies surveyed
Data: McKinsey Global Survey on the state of AI, May 4 to June 8, 2026 (n = 1,719). “AI leaders” are respondents who attribute at least 5% of EBIT (operating profit) to AI. Chart: RSFRB.
Finding 3
Data: Deloitte 2026 Global Human Capital Trends, with Oxford Economics (3,000+ business and HR leaders, 15 countries). Chart: RSFRB.
At full scale
McKinsey & Company reports that LATAM Airlines rewired its organization around digital and AI. LATAM had cross-functional squads and McKinsey's AI unit beside it. Most companies under $1 billion have neither.
The method still works at 200 people: find where the work stalls, give every step an owner, then let software carry the routine. RSFRB brings it to companies of 50 to 500 and stays after the build.

AI-ready is readiness and preparedness. AI-enabled is adaptation and implementation.

Questions
Mostly. McKinsey's and Deloitte's samples lean large, and "under $1 billion" covers firms far bigger than yours. We use their numbers for direction, then measure your operation with its own data.
RSFRB is an independent firm. We read their published research, credit it wherever we use it, and apply it to companies their engagements are built for less often.
Your team gets a note on day one explaining the check-in. Leadership sees totals by team and role, never names. You decide where every freed hour goes.
Your systems of record stay. The fix list marks every fix your current tools can make, and we build only what they can't.
Writing the rules is part of getting ready: which steps AI can propose, who approves, and which steps stay with a person.
We quote the diagnostic on a 30-minute call, once we understand your operation. If you go on to build with us, the diagnostic fee is credited to the build.
Email us and we'll send you the quiz. Once you've taken it, we send your score with what it means for your company.
On site anywhere in Texas, with travel included. Outside Texas, ask us on the call.
