An engineer inside your process,
from first interview to production
For 2–6 weeks our engineer works with the people who do the work: learns the process and its exceptions, builds a tool on your real data and stays until it runs every day.
Four phases, one owner
The same engineer does the discovery, writes the code and answers for the result. You see working software every week, not a status report.
Discovery
Interviews with the team, a walk through real documents, spreadsheets and systems, and a written map of the process with the exceptions that break automation.
Prototype on real data
A working tool on a sample of your records within days. People click it, point out what is wrong, and the scope is set by evidence instead of guesses.
Production
Access control, error handling, logs, monitoring, a test set that runs on every change and a review step where a person approves uncertain results.
Handover and support
Documentation, a short training for the team and an agreed way to report problems. Support continues monthly if you need it.
Discovery and prototype at a fixed price
The price is agreed before we start. After two weeks you have a process map, a prototype on your data and an estimate for production, including what should not be automated. Then you decide whether to continue.
When this format works and when it does not
Good fit
A repetitive process takes hours every week, data sits in several systems and files, a chatbot demo already exists but fails on real cases, and nobody in-house knows both the business and the code.
Poor fit
The process changes every month, nobody on your side can spend a few hours a week answering questions, or an off-the-shelf tool already does the job. In that case we will say so.
