Every phase earns the next.
The complete arc of an AI-services engagement: what each phase delivers, what each gate decides, and how outcome-based pricing works.
- 4 phases, each with a gate
- 6 wks to working software
- 0 hours billed. Outcomes only
The four phases.
-
Diagnose
Outcome first, technology second. We map the workflow, the data it runs on, and the decisions it feeds.
- Deliverable: a written value case with priorities and costs
- Gate: you fund the prototype only if the numbers convince you
- Team: one principal, one architect, your operators
-
Prove
A working slice against your real data and constraints, real enough to trust.
- Deliverable: working software on live data, measured
- Gate: results against the value case, judged by you
- Team: pod of 3, embedded with your workflow owners
-
Build
Production engineering: hardened, secured, wired into your platforms and workflows.
- Deliverable: a system that passes your security review
- Gate: go-live criteria agreed in phase 1, verified
- Team: pod scales with scope, never with billable hours
-
Scale
Rollout, monitoring, evaluation, and the enablement that hands your team ownership.
- Deliverable: runbooks, dashboards, trained operators
- Gate: your team ships an improvement without us
- Team: tapers to advisory as ownership transfers
How the pricing works.
Outcome-based, in practice.
-
Priced per gate
Each phase has a fixed price attached to its deliverable. You approve the result before the next phase is funded.
-
No hourly billing
We never sell time. If a phase takes us longer than planned, that is our cost, not yours.
-
Walk-away friendly
Every gate is a clean exit point. You keep every deliverable produced to date, including the code.
