What we do

Three engagements, each with a shape you can price before you talk to us.

All three sit under the heading AI consulting services, which is a budget line rather than a description. Below is the description: what each engagement is, how it is priced, and how it ends.

Review — fixed fee, about two weeks

One fee, agreed before we start, and a document at the end: where your systems are, what an agent could reach from inside them, what running it would cost, and what would break first. You keep the document whether or not you hire us for anything after it.

It is the cheapest thing we sell, and it is the one that most often ends with us saying the work is not worth doing. That is a useful answer to have bought.

More about the readiness review

Build — scoped, fixed price per phase

A defined piece of work with a defined end. It is broken into phases and each phase is priced on its own, so the commitment renews on evidence rather than on optimism.

Most of it is web applications — Ruby on Rails over PostgreSQL, with whatever the front end honestly requires — and the agent infrastructure that now sits beside them.

Operate — monthly

Patching, monitoring, upgrades that do not lose state, and someone awake when it stops at three in the morning. Anyone can stand an agent up. This is the part that decides whether standing it up was worth doing.

More about operating

Taking over something already built

If what you need is a rescue rather than a build — a migration nobody scheduled, a pilot that never reached production, a codebase whose author has left — that has its own page and its own way of starting.

An AI agent development company that runs what it builds

The building is the advertised half and the short half. The second year is where the money goes: the model that gets deprecated, the credential nobody wrote down, the permissions granted for a pilot and never revisited. Everything on the work page is something we shipped and then had to live with, which is where the opinions on this site came from.

Sectors

Agentic AI and AI operations, e-commerce, and the SaaS and internal tools underneath both. We are a small team, so the list is short on purpose.

Where these AI consulting services stop

No strategy decks. No staff augmentation. Nobody billing you while they learn your industry. We build the thing, we run the thing, or we read it and tell you not to.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes, and AI consulting for small businesses is most of what the review exists for — a fixed fee and a straight answer is worth more to a ten-person company than an open-ended retainer. What we cannot do is a project with nobody to own it on your side.
