HOW WE ENGAGE · FIXED FEES, NAMED MILESTONES

Two doors in. One accountable team.

No open-ended retainers, no discovery that never ends. Every engagement has a fixed fee, a named deliverable, and a gate where you can stop. Here is exactly what happens after you say yes.

Most clients start at one of two doors.

Workflow Discovery
Two to three weeks. We shadow your teams, map the workflows, and rank them by AI payback, with honest "don't bother"s. A deliberately small, fixed price to learn what the real project would cost — before anyone asks you to commit to one. You leave with a ranked opportunity map and one architecture-and-cost sketch, whether or not we ever work together again.
For you if: you want proof of thinking before proof of concept
FIXED FEE · QUOTED UPFRONT

The 90-Day AI Foundation
One accountable team runs assessment through deployment: knowledge systems, agentic harness, and your first AI employee live in a real channel, supervised. Scoped around one measurable workflow result, with go/no-go gates at weeks 2, 4, and 10.
For you if: you're done piloting and want something real

Learn the work. Prove the value. Then build.

  1. 01
    WEEKS 1-2 · LEARN THE WORK
    We shadow the people who do the job today. Workflows mapped, knowledge sources inventoried, key-person risks named. No technology decisions yet, on purpose.
    WORKFLOW MAP + OPPORTUNITY RANKING
    GO/NO-GO · END OF WEEK 2
  2. 02
    WEEKS 3-4 · PROVE THE VALUE
    A working proof on your real data, not a demo on ours. We test retrieval quality against questions your own team wrote, measure a baseline, and hold the first go/no-go gate: if the numbers don't clear the bar, we stop, and you keep the map.
    PROOF OF VALUE + GO/NO-GO
    GO/NO-GO · END OF WEEK 4
  3. 03
    WEEKS 5-10 · BUILD THE FOUNDATION
    Knowledge systems first (vector DB, knowledge graph, freshness pipelines), then the harness (skills, tools, approvals, audit trail), then your first AI employee, live in one channel, supervised on every consequential action.
    PRODUCTION FOUNDATION + FIRST AI EMPLOYEE
    GO/NO-GO · END OF WEEK 10
  4. 04
    WEEKS 11-12 · HAND OVER THE KEYS
    Your team learns to direct, correct, and audit the system. Playbooks written, dashboards live, and a decision point: your IT runs it, or we do under a managed operations agreement until they're ready.
    TRAINING + PLAYBOOKS + OPS DECISION
WHAT YOU GET

A single accountable team led by the founder. Weekly written status you can forward to your board. Every artifact (code, pipelines, skills, docs) in your repositories from day one, not handed over at the end.

WHAT WE ASK

A workflow owner for about two hours a week. A decision-maker at the three milestone gates. Read access to the systems the workflow touches, scoped and revocable. That's the whole list.

Priced before we start. Gated so you can stop.

01
Fixed fee, in writing.
Workflow Discovery, the 90-Day Foundation (scoped to one measurable workflow result), and managed operations. Quoted before we start. No surprise invoices, ever.
02
Go/no-go gates.
Weeks 2, 4, and 10. If the value isn't proving out, either of us can stop, and you keep everything produced to that point.
03
The walk-away clause.
If we conclude AI won't pay in your workflow, we say so in writing and recommend you spend your money elsewhere. It has happened. It will happen again.

We take a maximum of two Foundation engagements at a time. Currently: TAKING TWO NEW ENGAGEMENTS FOR Q4 2026.
