SSO Tear-Down: the autonomous M&A due-diligence agent
The strongest engineering piece of the rollout: an autonomous agent that scores 13 technical dimensions of an acquisition target in a single run. What used to take six weeks to six months of manual due diligence now runs in 33 minutes.

Legal research, outside Lexis
When a legal stakeholder tested Perplexity against Lexis and concluded it was broken, the useful move wasn't defending the tool — it was asking what research work lives outside of Lexis and eats a week. That question produced a workflow returning 1,976 hours a year.
1,976 hours: 38 hrs/week × 52 weeks
