Services

Productized AI engagement ladder

Move from opportunity assessment to production operations with a clear scope, fixed timelines, and defined success metrics at every rung.

Clear scope

Timeline, deliverables, and definition of done are explicit for every service.

Production-first

Every engagement ships with quality gates, monitoring, and operational readiness.

ROI visibility

Baselines, targets, and executive readouts keep outcomes measurable and aligned.

The engagement ladder

Start with a Sprint or jump directly into a Pilot. Each phase builds toward reliable, production-grade AI.
