Process

Evidence first. Then scale.

Five phases, each with clear deliverables and a decision point — so you never pay for a build before the numbers justify it.

Timeline

The five phases.

Phase 01 · 1–2 weeks

Discover

We audit workflows, data and systems, then rank AI opportunities by ROI and feasibility.

What happens

  • Stakeholder interviews
  • Data audit
  • ROI model

You get

  • Opportunity map
  • Technical brief
  • Fixed-scope proposal
Phase 02 · 2 weeks

Prototype

A working prototype on your real data, with evals that prove quality before we commit to a build.

What happens

  • Model benchmarking
  • UX prototype
  • Eval harness

You get

  • Clickable prototype
  • Eval report
  • Architecture plan
Phase 03 · 6–12 weeks

Build

Weekly sprints shipping production code to your repos, with demos every Friday.

What happens

  • Sprint demos
  • CI/CD
  • Security review

You get

  • Production app / agent
  • Test & eval suites
  • Documentation
Phase 04 · 1–2 weeks

Deploy

Staged rollout with monitoring, guardrails, cost controls and team training.

What happens

  • Canary rollout
  • Observability
  • Training

You get

  • Live system
  • Dashboards & alerts
  • Runbooks
Phase 05 · Ongoing

Optimize

We measure outcomes, tune prompts and models, cut cost and expand to the next use case.

What happens

  • Monthly reviews
  • Cost tuning
  • New features

You get

  • KPI reports
  • Model upgrades
  • Roadmap
Principles

How we work.

Security first

Least-privilege access, private deployments and zero-retention endpoints by default.

Evals before opinions

Every model and prompt change is measured against a test suite on your data.

Humans in the loop

Clear approval points wherever an AI action is costly or irreversible.

Tied to ROI

We agree the success metric before writing code — and report on it after launch.
