What you are left with
Every engagement leaves an operating system behind.
A register of what AI is doing and who owns it. A policy in plain words. A rollback for each live workflow. And a number that was measured before and after. It lives in your tools, not ours.
Sample, synthetic data. Client work is confidential. What follows is a sanitised, synthetic representation of a typical four-week engagement, showing the standard deliverables. No client is named until they agree to be.
For IT partners
Your clients are asking you for AI. Sell it next month without hiring for it.
We deliver AI readiness, guardrails and Copilot activation under your brand to your clients, at a wholesale rate. You own the client relationship, with a written no-poach clause. You get a co-branded one-pager, a sample report and a 30-minute sales briefing to start.
How we work - Four rules you can check us against.
Scope before speed
We write down what is in and out before we quote, and we quote once.
Evidence before claims
We measure before and after, and we say when a result is small.
Governance before scale
Nothing goes live without an owner, a register entry and a rollback.
Plain words
If a sentence needs a glossary, it is rewritten.
Guarantee on every engagement
Delivered on the scoped date or 20 % refunded. Fixed price. No lock-in. You own the work.

Fixed scope is not a pricing trick. It is the only way one person can promise a date, keep it, and still say no to work you do not need.
