How we work
Every project follows the same five phases. They are short, each ends with something you can see or use, and you can stop after any of them with everything we produced so far.
Discovery
Usually one to two weeks
We learn how the work is done today. We talk to the people who do it, look at real examples, measure volumes and agree what a good outcome looks like in numbers.
- A written problem statement and success measures
- A map of systems, data and people involved
- A clear recommendation, including when AI is not the answer
Design
Usually one to two weeks
We decide what the system will do, what it will not do, and where people stay in the loop. Security and data access are designed here, not bolted on later.
- Architecture and data-flow diagram
- Permission and escalation rules
- An evaluation plan built from your real cases
Build
Depends on scope, in short iterations
We build in small increments and show working software early, tested against your data rather than invented examples. You see progress every week.
- Working system in a test environment
- Automated evaluation results
- Documentation as we go
Launch
Staged over days or weeks
We release to a small group or in a supervised mode first, watch the results, and widen the scope only when they hold up. Your team is trained to operate and override it.
- Staged rollout plan
- Monitoring, alerts and audit logs
- Runbooks and training for your team
Support
Ongoing, or a clean hand-over
AI systems need care: models change, data changes, and new edge cases appear. We keep improving the system with you, or hand it over completely to your team.
- Regular reviews of logs and failures
- Updates as models and systems change
- Full code and documentation ownership for you
What this looks like per service
- Custom AI Agents
- Discovery collects the real questions the agent will face. Most of the build time goes into knowledge, integrations and escalation rules rather than the conversation itself, and launch usually starts in draft-only mode.
- Workflow Automation
- We measure the manual process first, then run the automated version alongside it on the same inputs. You switch over when the comparison shows it is ready.
- AI Integrations
- Integrations start read-only in a sandbox. Each write action is added separately with its own scope, and your IT team reviews credentials before production access.
- Marketing & Growth
- We begin with a measurement audit against your back-office figures. Fixing tracking comes before reporting, and reporting comes before any AI tooling on top.
What you can expect from us
- Plain answers
- If a simpler tool or a process change solves the problem, we will say so.
- Working software early
- You see the system running on your data within the first weeks, not at the end.
- No lock-in
- You own the code, prompts, evaluation sets and documentation we produce.
- Scoped pricing
- Every engagement is quoted after discovery, against an agreed scope.
Tell us what is taking up your team’s time.
A short message is enough. We reply with an honest view of what AI can and cannot do for that problem.
