Getting Your Team On Board

⚠️
Fear

Analysts think automation will eliminate their jobs

💡
Response

Show career progression: 'You'll move from data janitor to strategic advisor. We're hiring 2 more analysts to handle growth.'

Result

Frame as skill upgrade. Analysts become interpreters, not collectors.

⚠️
Fear

Portfolio managers don't trust AI-generated insights

💡
Response

Run parallel for 30 days: manual + automated. Show AI caught 3 risk signals humans missed.

Result

Trust builds through data. PMs start asking 'what did the agent see?' first.

⚠️
Fear

Quants worried about losing control of models

💡
Response

Agent handles data plumbing, not model logic. Quants own strategy, agent owns execution.

Result

Quants test 3x more strategies because infrastructure is automated.

⚠️
Fear

Ops concerned about regulatory compliance and audit trails

💡
Response

Show auto-generated audit logs with 100% coverage vs 75% manual. Compliance loves it.

Result

Ops becomes compliance hero. Audits go from stressful to smooth.

⚠️
Fear

Leadership worried about upfront cost and ROI timeline

💡
Response

Calculate savings: 38.4 hours/day saved × $150/hour = $5,760/day. 45-day payback.
