## Sectors

Cadent works with organisations in complex, high-stakes environments:

- Public sector - government, health, aged and disability care, and education; built for sovereignty, privacy and duty of care.
- Peak bodies and membership organisations - AI that serves members and the sector responsibly.
- Large not-for-profits - AI that stretches limited budgets and protects vulnerable people.
- Regulated professional services - confidentiality, regulatory exposure and accuracy near privileged work.
- Heavy industry and manufacturing - practical AI that improves reliability and safety on the floor.
- Food and agriculture - grounded, practical AI built for the field, not the boardroom.

## Case studies

De-identified accounts of real engagements. Client names and confidential
figures are withheld; where a figure is a modelled projection rather than a
measured result, it is labelled as such.

- [The workflow we run: clearing a compliance backlog by design](https://cadent.au/case-studies/clearing-a-compliance-backlog) - how we clear standing compliance backlogs in regulated, mission-driven organisations by designing the workflow around what the regulator actually needs.
- [Accountable AI for high-volume technical support](https://cadent.au/case-studies/ai-augmented-technical-support) - an AI-augmented support system grounded in verified knowledge with a person in the loop; figures are business-case projections.
- [Turning scattered safety records into briefings people actually use](https://cadent.au/case-studies/safety-records-into-briefings) - accountable AI for safety-critical operations; client figures withheld under confidentiality.

## How we work

- Discovery, then a low-risk Pilot against your real data, then Deploy, then Run as a managed service. If the Pilot does not earn its place, we both walk away.
