How does an engagement work?
Three phases, from a first call to a system your team runs. Strategy and Roadmap maps the work and returns a fixed-price plan with a payback line. Deployment and Activation builds it on your own stack with a human in the loop. Continuous Partnership keeps it healthy as you grow. Production in about 90 days, fixed price, money back if the proof of concept fails.
What are the three phases?
One model for every engagement, whether you adopt Claude company-wide or automate a single process.
Strategy and Roadmap
A short, paid engagement. We map the use-cases or the process, pick the wins, and come back with a fixed-price plan and the payback line, so you see the number before you commit.
- Use-case or process map
- Prioritised, ROI-ranked plan
- Fixed-price quote with a payback line
Deployment and Activation
We build on your stack and connect your systems, with a human in the loop where judgement matters. Evals before launch, monitoring after, and training so your team owns it.
- A working system on your own stack
- Scoped integrations and guardrails
- Evals before launch, then team training
Continuous Partnership
Once it is live we keep it healthy: evals, monitoring and an SLA, plus new use-cases and custom agents as you grow into an AI-native company.
- Monitoring and an SLA
- Regular evals and improvements
- New use-cases and custom agents
What principles guide the work?
The same discipline on every project, whether for an established enterprise or a fast-moving team.
Security from the first step
Data boundaries, access controls and compliance are set before any code is written, not bolted on at the end.
Start scoped, prove it, then scale
We begin with one focused build and a payback line, prove the value, then expand on real results.
A human stays in the loop
AI does the repetitive work; people keep the decisions that need judgement. Every build has verification where a mistake is costly.
Transparent partnership
Weekly updates, shared documentation and direct access to the team. You see exactly what we build and why.
What do you need from us to start?
Three things help us move fast in the first phase.
A clear objective
A well-defined problem to solve or process to automate. The more specific, the faster we deliver value. We help refine this in Strategy and Roadmap.
A project champion
One person who knows the workflow or product vision, to give feedback, validate the build and champion adoption inside your organisation.
Access and resources
The relevant data, systems access and stakeholder time for feedback sessions. We only ask for what the scope needs, nothing more.
How an engagement works: at a glance
- Phases
- Strategy and Roadmap, then Deployment and Activation, then Continuous Partnership.
- First step
- A short, paid Strategy and Roadmap (2 to 3 weeks) with a fixed-price plan and a payback line.
- Build
- Deployment and Activation in 6 to 10 weeks, on your own stack, with a human in the loop.
- Delivery
- Production in about 90 days, fixed price, money back if the proof of concept fails.
- After launch
- Continuous Partnership: evals, monitoring and an SLA, plus new use-cases as you grow.
- Security
- Role-based access, audit logging and data handling built around ISO 27001 principles. Not ISO certified.
Common questions about how we work
How does an engagement work?
Three phases. Strategy and Roadmap maps the use-cases or process and returns a fixed-price plan with a payback line. Deployment and Activation builds it on your stack with a human in the loop. Continuous Partnership keeps it healthy with evals, monitoring and an SLA.
How long until something is in production?
Production in about 90 days is the standard. Strategy and Roadmap is usually 2 to 3 weeks; Deployment and Activation is typically 6 to 10 weeks. The exact timeline is fixed in the plan before you commit.
What does it cost?
Every engagement is fixed price, scoped on a call, with a payback line. We start with a paid first step so the build price is grounded in your real process. GBP, quoted up front.
What do you need from us to start?
A clear objective, one project champion who knows the workflow, and access to the relevant data and systems. We help refine the objective during Strategy and Roadmap.
Do we have to move off our current tools?
No. We build on the platform you already trust, whether that is Anthropic, Google Cloud or Microsoft, and connect to the systems you already run.
What happens if the proof of concept fails?
You get your money back. We stand behind the build with a money-back proof of concept, so the risk of the first step sits with us, not you.
Ready to scope the first step?
Book a discovery call and we will map where to start, then come back with a fixed-price plan and the payback line. We respond within 24 hours.
