Kim holds an enormous amount in her head — from immigration bills to condensing a training manual to CRA logins in a single day. An assistant doesn't replace any of that judgment; it lifts the repetitive load so her expertise goes where only a person can.
The same logged work, sorted into what stays a human decision and what an assistant can carry.
Drawn directly from Kim's logged activity — and exactly how the assistant would take each one on.
| Task (from her log) | Time | The assistant's move |
|---|---|---|
| ST PPM manual — reformat, rebuild ToC, page numbers, cut dead pages AI | ~4h30 | Rebuilds the table of contents, renumbers and reformats to house standard automatically — she reviews, doesn't retype. |
| Email across the .ca and .com inboxes AI | ~3h30 | Triages, drafts and routes — including auto-forwarding invoices to Siba, which she does by hand today. She approves; it never sends blind. |
| WA DOR penalty-relief forms AI | 45m | Pre-filled from a memory of Tarka's entities and numbers; Kim checks and submits. |
| GDOTS ACH onboarding · HSA receipts · Trowbridge form AI | 45m | Recurring gov/vendor forms and receipt capture, walked step-by-step from a stored playbook. |
| Vendor & subscription admin — GoDaddy, Dropbox, Oroville AI | 45m | A tracked register with renewal reminders, so it stops living only in Kim's head. |
| Tax-portal logins & checks — Alberta, CRA AI | 30m | Scheduled checks with change alerts, instead of manual login-and-look. |
| Cross-border tax meeting & strategy Human | 30m+ | Stays Kim's — the assistant only preps the notes and the reference docs. |
| Meetings & Siba AR/AP review Human | ~3h | Stays human — the assistant handles the prep and the write-up around them. |
Read across the two days, roughly two-thirds of Kim's logged time is repeatable, low-judgment work — and it never stops arriving. That's the load the assistant carries.
Rebuilds tables of contents, page numbers and formatting on long manuals to house standard — in a fraction of the time.
Sorts, drafts and routes across the .ca and .com accounts, including forwarding invoices to Siba — Kim just approves.
Penalty-relief, onboarding, HSA and cross-border forms filled from a memory of Tarka's entities and numbers.
The same finisher that cleans Kim's manuals is the one that builds curriculum to standard — the back office and the product, served at once.
