Important context: AI doesn't replace Michelle's 25 years of domain expertise, vendor relationships, or on-site presence. What it does is eliminate the grunt work — research, document generation, tracking, communications — so Michelle can spend 100% of her time on the high-value work that only a human expert can do. It's not "AI instead of you." It's "AI so there are 8 of you."
