Case study · From the Pluris libraryReceipt no. 5693
What sucked
A venture studio's portfolio companies shared one small HR function.
That team fielded policy questions from employees across every company, each with its own handbook and policies. Answering a ticket took about three days, and the queue grew with every new portfolio company the studio added.
What they built
Portfolio Leverage built AIHRPilot for a venture studio: a retrieval-based HR policy engine on Claude that answers employee questions from each portfolio company's handbook, cites the source, and routes uncertain or sensitive tickets to HR.
What changed

HR ticket resolution time across the studio's portfolio companies.
30 days

Commercialized
