300 finance experts mobilized in 72 hours for a Fortune 100 company

The call

A Fortune 100 company reached out with an urgent request: they needed nearly 1,000 hours of expert work completed in 72 hours. The task required qualified accounting and finance professionals to review and validate AI-generated outputs tied to real-world finance scenarios, work that demanded genuine domain knowledge and couldn't be faked.

The clock started immediately.

Activating the panel

Within hours, Terac began mobilizing finance and accounting professionals from its panel across the US, UK, and Canada. The geographic spread was intentional. By pulling from three countries and multiple time zones, the team ensured continuous throughput around the clock, with experts in one region picking up where another left off.

By the end of the 72-hour window, roughly 300 qualified professionals had completed work on the project.

Keeping out the noise

Speed without quality is just chaos. Every applicant went through a structured screening process designed to filter aggressively. The questionnaires included "red herring" answers, fake accounting tools and fabricated software names planted to catch anyone trying to bluff their way through. If you hadn't actually worked in FP&A, accounting, or bookkeeping at a senior level, the screener caught you.

Manual review added a second layer. The team flagged and removed fraudulent applications in real time, even as hundreds of new applicants were flowing in.

The AI agent that ran the operation

Here's where things got interesting. Managing communications with 300+ experts across three countries and multiple time zones would normally require a dedicated ops team. Instead, Terac deployed its AI agent to fully manage the research project lifecycle.

The agent handled onboarding automatically, adding approved experts to the client's task platform without any manual steps. It sent each participant personalized messages explaining the workflow, task structure, and compensation. It answered questions from participants around the clock. And it orchestrated the entire pipeline from screening through task assignment to progress tracking, keeping the pool moving without bottlenecks.

Over the course of the engagement, the agent sent and managed over 20,000 messages.

This wasn't a one-off build. It's the same agent Terac offers to every client: a fully autonomous research operations layer that sources, screens, onboards, communicates with, and manages hundreds of experts, no dedicated ops team required.

$170K+ paid out

Over $170,000 in contractor payouts were processed through Terac's platform across the engagement. Experts were compensated promptly, which kept them engaged and working through the final hours of the window.

The results

By the time the 72-hour window closed, Terac had delivered roughly 1,000 hours of qualified expert work. Around 300 finance and accounting professionals across the US, UK, and Canada had completed tasks. The AI agent had managed over 20,000 messages autonomously. And $170,000+ had been paid out through the platform.

What made it possible

The engagement worked because the pieces were already in place. Terac's panel had the verified experts ready to go. The AI agent eliminated the operational bottleneck that would have made a 72-hour turnaround impossible with a human-only team. And the screening process ensured that speed didn't come at the cost of quality, only professionals with real domain experience made it through to the client's tasks.

The result: a Fortune 100 company got the expert workforce it needed, at the scale it needed, in the time it needed. No compromises.
