AI ENGINEERING

An expert-only capability, now in every scientist's hands

6–8 hours

returned to each scientist every week.

Industry

Fortune 500 energy-services company, publicly traded.

Scale

45,000+ employees, $22B revenue, 70+ countries. Users: exploration scientists who build specialized data-processing workflows that turn raw field recordings into subsurface images, on terabyte-scale survey data.

Engagement

Implementation: a self-hosted natural-language copilot in front of the client's processing engine.

// THE PROBLEM

Where time went

Buying was a maze of forms, catalogs, contracts, approvers and budget codes, and most requesters could not navigate it. A standard buy took 5 to 7 business days of routing, catalog hunting and serial approvals, and people who could not navigate it bought off contract, eroding the pricing the company had negotiated. Buyers spent much of the week on routing and data entry, and purchases were often miscoded by commodity.

// THE BUILD

What we built with them

With the procurement team, LevelUp built a single plain-language front door for buying, orchestrated as a stateful, auditable graph. Describe the need in plain language; the copilot classifies it, surfaces the on-contract supplier and catalog item first, checks spend thresholds and budget as hard gates the model cannot talk past, resolves the approval chain, and assembles the requisition and purchase order through the ERP APIs. It proposes, a human signs off the spend, and every action is logged and replayable for audit.

// PROOF POINTS

An estimated 15 to 20 percentage points

on-contract spend up, several million dollars a year in recovered negotiated savings on a procurement base this size

on-contract spend up, several million dollars a year in recovered negotiated savings on a procurement base this size

Roughly 30 to 40%

of buyers' week reclaimed from routing and data entry for sourcing strategy and negotiation (estimated)

Above 90%

of requests correctly commodity-coded at intake, up from an estimated 60 to 70%

Roughly 6 to 8 hours a week

returned to each scientist, redirected into exploration and interpretation (estimated with the team)

Under a minute

workflow setup, where hand assembly took up to 15 to 20 minutes

Roughly 90%

of generated workflows ran correctly on the first try; a large share of hand-built ones had needed rework

STACK

Self-Hosted Open-Weight Models

Intent Routing

Grounded Retrieval Over The Client's Manuals

Validation Gate

Delivered as a self-hosted copilot inside their environment; the capability stopped being gated on a handful of experts, so more exploration runs in parallel.
// How we measured

Generation time from system logs against a timed manual baseline; first-run success across a benchmark set; hours estimated with the client's team.
