Spreadsheets served consultants well for decades. But AI discovery demands more than rows and columns can deliver. When you're capturing dozens of interviews, identifying patterns across pain points, and calculating ROI for multiple automation opportunities, spreadsheets become the bottleneck—not the solution.
The hidden cost of spreadsheets: Consultants report spending 40% of discovery time on data organisation rather than analysis. That's time not spent with clients, not spent on strategy, and not spent growing your practice.
When Auditic makes sense: If you're running more than 3 discovery engagements per quarter, the time savings alone justify the switch. Add in the quality improvement of structured analysis, and the decision becomes clear.
When spreadsheets still work: For occasional, simple data tracking where you don't need analysis or client deliverables, spreadsheets remain cost-effective. But for professional AI discovery, purpose-built tools deliver measurably better outcomes.
