As an AI software agency, we find that it depends on scope, but most projects run 8–16 weeks from signed brief to production deployment. We move fast because we've solved most architectural problems before. Complex multi-system integrations can extend to 20+ weeks.

Both, but the engagement model differs. With startups, we often own a larger share of technical decision-making. With enterprise, we integrate into existing governance and work within established security and compliance frameworks.

Every engagement includes a 30-day hypercare period: daily standups, a dedicated Slack channel, and SLA-backed response times. After that, we offer retainer arrangements for ongoing improvements and model re-tuning.

Both. Model selection is driven by your specific requirements: latency, cost, compliance, and output quality. We're model-agnostic and vendor-neutral — your AI SaaS development infrastructure shouldn't be tied to a single provider's roadmap.

Yes. Our 'AI Audit' engagement covers behavioral testing, prompt and retrieval evaluation, latency and cost profiling, and UX friction analysis. Many clients engage us to rescue AI products that underperformed in production.

Fixed-scope projects are quoted upfront with milestone-based payments. Retainer work is invoiced monthly. We don't do hourly billing — it incentivizes the wrong behavior. You pay for outcomes.
