/ 03 — Lead engagement

AI Pilot Rescue.

We ship the second attempt.

Four weeks Diagnose, rebuild, re-pilot Fixed scope

Thirty percent of generative AI pilots get abandoned, according to Gartner. The other seventy percent mostly ship late, over budget, or as a fraction of what was promised. Four weeks to diagnose what failed, rebuild it correctly, and re-pilot — or to recommend killing it cleanly with most of the engagement refunded.

/ How it runs

Week 1 — DiagnoseMap your pilot against our seven failure modes. Written Rescue Report.
Weeks 2–3 — RebuildReuse what works. Rebuild what doesn't. Wire evals from day one.
Week 4 — Re-pilotShadow-mode deployment, end-user training, cutover only when the data supports it.
Kill optionIf Week 1 says kill it, the report is the deliverable and most of the engagement is refunded.

/ 02

AI Workflow Sprint.

Three weeks. One workflow. Built, evaluated, monitored.

Three weeks One workflow Fixed scope

Most AI "pilots" are demos with no measurement and no integration. A Sprint is the opposite. We pick one workflow, build it against your real data, evaluate it against a gold dataset, and deploy it in shadow mode — so you trust it before it goes live.

/ What you get

Working workflowIntegrated with your actual systems. Not a demo.
Eval suite + gold datasetQuality is measured, not asserted. Built from your real data.
Monitoring dashboardCost per transaction, quality scores, adoption — visible from day one.
Runbook + trainingWritten runbook plus two training sessions for end users and managers.

Operations Diagnostic.

Two weeks. Where AI fits — and where it doesn't.

Two weeks Written recommendation Fixed scope

A paid discovery engagement. We map your current operations, identify which workflows are ready to automate, and deliver a prioritized 90-day AI roadmap — including the workflows we recommend you don't take on yet, and why.

/ What's included

Kickoff90-minute working session with operations leadership.
Stakeholder interviews3–5 interviews with the people running the work.
Written recommendationAn 8–15 page document with the workflow we'd take on first.
Readout60-minute walkthrough of the recommendation and next steps.

/ 04 — Retainer

Fractional AI Engineering.

Strategic AI advisory, with implementation included.

Monthly retainer 3-month minimum Advisory + development

Most AI work falls between two stools — strategic guidance from people who don't ship code, and developers who don't know what to ship. We are the firm that's both. Senior AI advisors, backed by an engineering team that does the work. Same engagement, same accountability.

/ What's included

Direct advisory accessAsync via email and Slack. Monthly scheduled working session.
Strategic roadmap inputArchitecture, model selection, build-vs-buy, technical risk.
Vendor & tooling guidanceWe evaluate options with you when your team needs to choose.
Implementation capacityDevelopment hours included each month, scoped jointly.

Talk about a retainer

Four ways to engage.

AI Pilot Rescue.

AI Workflow Sprint.

Operations Diagnostic.

Fractional AI Engineering.

A roadmap, then a workflow, then a retainer. Most clients walk this path.

What every engagement includes.

Evals before prompts

Integration is the work

Monitoring from day one

Pricing depends on scope. We share it on the first call.
