Case studies
Agentic statement spreading for commercial lending
Lenders receive large document packages: financial statements, tax returns, and supporting files. Analysts historically re-keyed figures into spreading tools by hand. Statement periods had to balance; when they did not, teams traced line items to the right chart-of-accounts entries through slow, manual research. The work consumed skilled analyst time and invited transcription and mapping errors.
- Document packages that once drove hours of manual spreading and reconciliation now load in minutes.
- Statements arrive balanced with math already verified.
- Analyst role shifts from building the spread from scratch to brief verification: confirming results, refining a few line names or placements.
Agent-ready engineering standards at scale
As Baker Hill scaled Angular and C# delivery, with engineers adopting AI-assisted coding along the way, teams felt the same friction from several directions at once: review churn, inconsistent patterns across repos, slow onboarding to “how we build here,” and rework when agent-generated changes did not match architecture or product conventions.
- Stronger pattern consistency and higher-quality AI-assisted pull requests.
- Less review churn before code reaches “good enough.”
- Teams reach acceptable quality faster, cutting wasted agent iteration and token use.
- Same corpus laid groundwork for an agentic SDLC pipeline that reasons about Baker Hill’s frameworks, processes, and environments, not just isolated snippets.
Gamified retention with Ball State Achievements
Ball State needed to improve persistence and four-year completion for Pell Grant students, not only in the classroom, but in the “college experience” activities that correlate with success: student orgs, career programs, recreation, and campus resources students already had but under-used.
- Roughly 400 Pell recipients engaged in the first full year.
- Early reporting cited higher credit loads and GPAs among active users versus non-users.
- Campus Technology Innovator Award (2015, student systems and services).
- National press coverage, including a featured team profile naming the Emerging Technologies builders.
- Product later left the app stores, but remains a reference example of student-affairs-driven, technically ambitious mobile work.
