Speed-To-Lead Is The Cleanest Signal Your AI Rollout Actually Shipped.

Strategy decks are easy to fake. Response time is not. The average legacy law firm takes 38 hours. The same firm with a Sloane-shape voice agent and a Claude Code workflow ships a qualified intake in under two seconds. Same partners, different implementation layer.

The Research Behind Speed to Lead

Harvard Business Review found that firms responding within 5 minutes are 100x more likely to connect with a lead than those responding within 30 minutes.

InsideSales.com research shows that lead response time is the #1 predictor of conversion, above lead quality, firm reputation, or marketing spend.

Our own audit of 63 PI firms confirmed: not a single firm responded within 5 minutes. The average was 38 hours. With A Team, the response time is under 2 seconds.
