What is the typical engagement timeline?
Discovery Sprint: 2-3 weeks, $30K fixed fee, credits 100% toward any build. Custom Build: 6-8 weeks to a working MVP. Strategic Advisory: ongoing quarterly sessions for firms that want AI guidance without a build commitment. Ongoing Retainer: rolling 2-4 week development sprints for continuous iteration.
Most firms start with a Discovery Sprint to map their highest-ROI AI opportunities, then move into a Custom Build for the top-priority use case. The Sprint fee applies in full toward the build, so you are not paying twice for the same work. From first call to working AI system, the typical path is 10-12 weeks total.
We do not do multi-year contracts. Every engagement has a defined scope, a fixed price, and clear deliverables.
