Not accuracy metrics. Business results measured in revenue, margin, and valuation.
ClaimAngel's CEO had a scaling problem: to grow underwriting capacity, they'd need to hire 20+ underwriters. That's expensive, slow, and hard to manage.
The real question: "How do we scale without 10x-ing headcount?"
A data science consultant could have built the models. But who would explain to investors why this made the company scalable — not just more accurate? A management consultant could have made the strategic case. But who would actually build the AI?
Luther assessed the underwriting workflow, identified the bottleneck (manual vehicle damage assessment), and built computer vision models to automate it. Then he translated the technical capability into a business narrative investors immediately understood:
"You can now scale 3x without hiring."
Not "we built a model with 94% accuracy." But: "You'll process 3x more claims with the same team, and here's what that means for your unit economics."
"Luther didn't just build models. He translated our technical capabilities into something our investors understood: scalable growth."
The models were good. But the $2M valuation increase came from the translation — framing the technical work in terms investors care about:
A data science consultant would have delivered the models. A management consultant would have framed the story. Luther did both.
PaveAmerica had a bidding problem: manual cost estimation was slow, inconsistent, and prone to human error. They were leaving money on the table every day.
They were also sitting on thousands of parking lot images. Valuable data — but without someone who could see both the technical opportunity and the business impact, it was just photos on a server.
No data science consultant would have looked at parking lot photos and said "that's $5M in bidding intelligence." They'd have asked about your data format. No management consultant would have known that computer vision could detect pavement damage at scale. They'd have recommended hiring a team.
Luther saw the opportunity immediately: "These images contain predictable patterns. We can train models to detect damage, estimate costs, and automate bids."
He built the models. Then he positioned it strategically: this isn't just automation — it's a competitive moat. Nobody else in paving has this.
"Luther took a technical capability and turned it into a business weapon. We bid faster and smarter than anyone in our industry."
The breakthrough wasn't just the models — it was seeing the strategic opportunity inside technical data:
PaveAmerica now has a moat, not just a model. That's the difference a Chief AI Officer makes.
Horatius Real AI (Luther's company) had a common problem: small team, high operational complexity across finance, HR, sales, and development.
Luther was spending 50% of his time on admin tasks that didn't require human creativity or judgment. That's not scalable — and it's the same problem he sees in every client.
Luther built the same AI decision systems he now deploys for clients: a complete operational automation layer powered by AI.
The principle: "Automate everything that doesn't require human creativity or judgment. Free up leadership for the work that actually moves the business forward."
"I automated my own business first. Now I help CEOs do the same — because I know exactly what works and what doesn't."
This isn't a theoretical case study. This is Luther's actual business. Every day, he uses the same systems he builds for clients. When he tells you "this works," he means it — he lives it.
That's the difference between a consultant who advises and a Chief AI Officer who executes. Luther has skin in the game.
