Every project follows the same proven path. At the end of each stage you decide whether to continue, so you never commit to more than you can see.

1. Project Initiation · free

A 60-minute session to understand your challenge, your goals and the key features a solution needs. Beforehand we send a short questionnaire, and we sign a non-disclosure agreement if you wish. At the end you'll know whether, and how, we can help.

2. Discovery & Prototype Sprint · billing starts here

Using AI-assisted methods, we turn your requirements into a working prototype, real code your team can test, not a clickable mock-up. We agree an initial block of days to suit your project, and add time only with your approval.

3. Production Readiness · fixed price

Senior developers review, harden and complete the prototype for real-world use: security, performance, data integrity and documentation.

4. Simulation Run · fixed price

The new system runs alongside your current process with real data until your team is confident and signs it off.

5. Software Introduction

Go-live, training and support, governed by a service level agreement.

Every year: Annual Value Review · free

Once a year we sit down with you, review what the system delivers, and plan the improvements that raise your return on investment.

Our principles

  • Speed from AI. Quality from people.
  • No surprises on cost: a decision point at the end of every stage.
  • You own your intellectual property. Always.
  • We stay at your side: looking after a system takes far longer than building it.

The first step costs nothing.
