AI Tooling Drives Measurable Efficiency Gains for Client Production Support Team with Cursor

Challenges

  • Import failures taking ~1 hr each, several per week
  • Task refinement: 3–4 dev hrs/week
  • Log investigation: ~2 hrs per incident
  • Limited AI adoption across teams

Solutions

  • Cursor adoption for repeated tasks
  • Cursor skills shared to client repo
  • Cursor training for devs, team leads, BSAs & QA
  • Time allotted to rebuild workflows with Cursor
  • CM presentation at client offsite

Benefits

  • Import failures: ~1 hr → ~15 mins
  • Log investigation: ~2 hrs → ~20 mins
  • Refinement: 3–4 hrs → 1–2 hrs/week
  • Issue investigation: ~3 hrs saved/task
  • Same-day prod issue resolution
  • Growing AI adoption org-wide

A production support team at a digital-first insurance company was spending significant time on repetitive manual tasks like resolving import failures, investigating logs, and refining tasks. These issues occurred multiple times per week, with import failures taking about an hour each, log investigations around two hours per incident, and task refinement requiring several developer hours weekly. This limited their ability to focus on higher-value work, and AI adoption across teams was initially limited.

Clear Measure helped address these challenges by introducing Cursor for repeated tasks, sharing skills and workflows with the team, and providing training for developers, team leads, BSAs, and QA. Time was also allocated to rebuild workflows using Cursor. As a result, the team saw major efficiency gains: import failures dropped to about 15 minutes, log investigations to around 20 minutes, and task refinement to 1–2 hours per week. Issue investigation time decreased, several production issues were resolved the same day, and AI adoption continued to grow across the organization.
