A four-phase process built for speed without skipping the boring parts that keep production stable. Same playbook every time.
Duration: 1–2 weeks · Deliverable: opportunity roadmap
We map your current workflows, integrations, data sources, and team. We ride along with the people who'll actually use the software — not just the executives who'll buy it. The output is a written assessment with a ranked list of where AI moves the needle and where it's a waste of money.
Duration: 1–2 weeks · Deliverable: technical spec + UI prototype
We design the system, data model, integrations, and UI. You see the actual screens — not wireframes — before we write production code. Everything we propose is grounded in the audit findings, so there are no surprises about scope or stack.
Duration: 4–10 weeks · Deliverable: working software, every Friday
Weekly sprints with a working demo every Friday. You and the operators who'll use the product see the real thing on real data — not a slide. We adjust based on what they say, not what we guessed in the design phase.
Duration: ongoing · Deliverable: live product + retention retainer
We deploy, monitor, and tune. Post-launch, the AI components keep learning from your data — and we keep tuning the prompts, models, and workflows so they don't drift. Most clients move to a small monthly retainer for ongoing model care.
No 47-slide decks. Our discovery output is a written one-pager and a working prototype. If you need a deck for your board, we'll make a clean two-pager — but it's not how we communicate progress.
No junior bench. Every line of code is written or reviewed by a senior engineer. We don't have a "delivery team" you've never met.
No vendor lock-in. Code, models, prompts, infrastructure — everything we build is yours. We hand over keys, repos, and runbooks.
No "AI for AI's sake." If a rules engine or a SQL query solves the problem better, we'll tell you and bill you less.
No mystery pricing. Fixed-price engagements when scope is clear, T&M when it's not. You'll never get a surprise change order.
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. Best for teams with a clear problem and a defined budget. Most engagements land here.
A small senior team embedded with yours, sprinting weekly. Best for ongoing AI/automation roadmaps and post-launch model care.
You have an in-house team but need senior AI engineering help on a specific project. We pair-program, mentor, and review.
Tell us what you're trying to solve. We'll tell you exactly how we'd build it — and what it'll cost. No fluff, no 47-slide decks.
