Works. Proposal
Prepared for
Alex Gransbury & the Dreamfarm team
28 September 2026

Works. × Dreamfarm

AI that helps everyone at Dreamfarm do their job. A plan built from our conversation on 28 September.

What we heard
"Figure out how we're going to make the boat go faster."
Alex Gransbury, 28 September

30 people across Brisbane and the US. One design team, 13 sales channels and NetSuite running the UK, US, Australian and international business. A lot of work crosses departments. That is where AI helps most.

Sales comes first. Anything that gets Dreamfarm into more stores, or brings stockists back to reorder, goes to the top of the list.

Our promise to your team

"Our job is to help you in your job."

Zachary King, Works

We start with each person's day: what they repeat, what they chase, what they re-enter by hand. Then we take that work off their plate.

→

Built around people, not instead of them

We do not build processes that run without a person. Every workflow is designed around someone doing their job better.

→

A person approves everything that goes out

AI drafts. Your team reads it, changes it and sends it. That includes every customer email.

→

Inside the systems you already run

NetSuite, your email and your files, on logins you grant. It only sees what it is connected to. You decide what stays out, including unreleased designs.

→

Everyone gets a lift, not only the keen few

Each person gets their own assistant: a daily brief, email drafts in their own voice and a live view of their work.

Sales first

More stores. More reorders.

"I'm going to send out 300 catalogs to French independent retailers that are most likely to stock Dreamfarm. Who are the best 300 and why?"
Alex Gransbury, 28 September
Find

The stores you should be in

Find retailers that stock the brands you sit beside, check they are still trading and rank them for each market.

Return

Stockists due to reorder

Use your NetSuite sales history to flag accounts that are late to reorder, so sales calls the right store at the right time.

Resonate

What is working on social

A regular read on what is getting traction in your category, turned into briefs for Dreamfarm products.

Our starting read, which the Audit tests against your real data. The AI doesn't get paid on commission. Your sales team does.

The process

From 22 October to a system that runs.

Step 01

Kickoff

Thu 22 October

One day in Brisbane, run by Zachary King and a Works operator. A session with the whole team, then short interviews.

Step 02

Audit

2–3 weeks

Map the work and rank the opportunities, sales first. You get a 90-day plan.

Step 03 Suggested

Embed

90 days, if you go ahead

Ops, finance and manufacturing first. Most of the time kept for sales from early December.

A suggested timeline. We confirm it with you once you have seen the plan.

Audit

We start with the work. Not the tools.

Duration2–3 weeks from kickoff
Investment$5K fixed
OutputWork map + 90-day plan

What we do

  • Sit with one person from each team, 45 minutes each. No need to see all 30
  • Follow how work moves: from design and factory to NetSuite, stores and customers
  • Note what each person repeats, re-enters or chases by hand
  • Check what your systems can connect to, starting with NetSuite

What you get

  • A clear map of how work flows through Dreamfarm today
  • Opportunities ranked by return, with sales and revenue first
  • What AI should do, what it should not, and what needs cleaner data first
  • A 90-day plan with each workflow, its owner and the expected outcome

We check the findings with you before they are final. Dreamfarm keeps the map and the plan whether or not Works delivers the next phase.

Embed

90 days, planned around your peak.

Our suggestion: ops, finance and manufacturing first, with most of the 90 days kept for sales once your peak is over in early December.

What gets installed

  • One company-approved AI tool, connected to your systems
  • A company brain: your products, voice, pricing and how you work
  • Typically 4–6 workflows delivered and running
  • A six-week training programme, tailored to Dreamfarm
  • An internal owner trained to run it after we leave
A typical week
01Your Works lead in the business
02Team training sessions
03Office hours for questions

Support in between. The test is what still runs when we are not in the room.

Blind case study · Boutique homebuilder

$10.5M additional revenue capacity unlocked.

A boutique homebuilder wanted to grow without adding headcount. The Audit unlocked the capacity already sitting inside the business.

Overview

Boutique homebuilder

A growing, design-led business with strong demand and a lean team.

Situation

Growth was trapped in admin

Repeatable work across proposals, design administration and quality assurance was constraining capacity.

Result

105–120 days saved each year

Nine workflows mapped. The client approved the 90-day sprint and moved into implementation.
