Clear steps,priced before they start

Four ways to work together. The first two have a fixed scope and a fixed price agreed before work starts, and every engagement ends with a decision about whether to continue.

Four engagements

01

Readiness Assessment

A fixed-scope look at where AI could help, for leaders who want a plan before a build.

  • A ranked shortlist of use cases
  • A check of your data and systems
  • The risks of each option
  • A plan for the first pilot
Price
Fixed, agreed before we start
Length
Usually 2 to 3 weeks
Ends withYour decision on whether to run a pilot.
02

Pilot

One job, built on your data and tested against your own examples.

  • A working system for one job, in a test setup
  • An evaluation sheet, case by case
  • Running cost estimates
  • A written recommendation
Price
Fixed, agreed before we start
Length
Usually 4 to 8 weeks
Ends withA go or no-go decision.
03

Production

Rollout, integration and monitoring for a pilot that earned a go.

  • Connection to your live systems
  • Monitoring, logs and alerts
  • Training for the first teams
  • Documentation and handover
Price
Scoped and quoted after the pilot
Length
Agreed in the quote
Ends withA live system for the first teams.
04

Support

A monthly plan that keeps your AI working and improving in daily use.

  • Monitoring of quality, cost and usage
  • Tested model updates and fixes
  • A monthly report and review
Price
Monthly, quoted per system
Commitment
Reviewed with you each quarter
Ends withYour choice, each month, of what to improve next.

What drives cost

Production and support are quoted once the pilot shows what the work involves. Four things make the biggest difference.

Systems connected

Each system the work reads from or writes to adds connection, testing and access work.

Data readiness

Clean, current data costs less to work with than scattered or duplicated files.

Risk

Work that changes records, spends money or reaches customers needs more testing and review.

Usage

Running costs grow with how much the system is used, and we estimate them before you decide.

Included every time

  • A written scope before any work starts
  • A fixed price for assessments and pilots
  • A decision point at the end of each engagement
  • The code, prompts, configuration and documentation, yours to keep
  • An NDA before you share anything sensitive, if you'd like one

Questions

Do we have to start with an assessment?

No. If you already know the job and the data is ready, you can start with a pilot.

What if the pilot is a no-go?

You get a written explanation of why, and what would need to change. There's no obligation to continue.

Can you work with our own engineers?

Yes. Many projects pair our team with yours, so your engineers can own the system after launch.

Is there a minimum commitment?

No. Each engagement stands on its own, and the next one starts only if you choose it.
