Common questions

How It Works

Phase 1

Quick Diagnostic (1-2 weeks)

We start from the problem you bring, understand the current workflow and constraints around it, compare possible approaches, and define the best path to prototype. You walk away with a clear diagnostic.

  • Current workflow analysis
  • Approach comparison
  • Impact estimate (time/cost)
Phase 2

Working Prototype (4-8 weeks)

We deliver a working prototype (e.g., support automation, document classification, internal assistant). We share progress as we go, and you see it running, not on slides.

  • 1 tested functional solution
  • Initial performance metrics
  • Live demo with real data
Phase 3

Technical Plan for Decision (1 week)

A complete plan based on what we tested: technologies, real-world costs, and next steps. Everything you need to make the decision.

  • Suggested technical architecture
  • Implementation roadmap
  • Effort and investment estimate

One price, three phases. You walk away with a working prototype and a clear picture of what comes next. If you want to continue from there, we can talk about what a separate implementation phase would look like.

Lab Steps

We go from problem to solution fast. Every step produces a concrete output.

Listen

30-min interview, current process mapping, and identification of the bottlenecks costing you the most time and money.

Research

We evaluate available technologies, compare approaches, and estimate technical feasibility for your specific scenario.

Experiment

Working prototype with real data in 4-8 weeks. We share progress as we go, keep you informed, and validate the direction with you.

Deliver

Working prototype + technical plan with production running costs + executive presentation. All you need to decide if it's worth moving forward.

Our differentiators

  • Working prototype before any long-term decision
  • No lock-in: you keep all code and documentation
  • Projects start in days, not weeks

How we build

  • We use existing APIs and systems before proposing new architecture
  • We prioritize simple solutions before scaling
  • We avoid lock-in to specific tools

Frequently Asked Questions

Technology research. You bring us a business problem or idea, we investigate, test it for real, and deliver a working prototype with a technical plan so you can decide what comes next.

AI is our main thing, but we also work with software, infrastructure, integrations, and automation. If it needs testing, we test it.

Companies that have a technology question but don't have the team or time to figure it out themselves.

Both. Startups want to validate fast, bigger companies want to test without pulling their teams off other work. What matters is having a real problem.

No. We're your lab. We do the research and deliver results any manager can understand.

Every project includes three phases: diagnostic, prototyping, and technical plan. The outcome is a working prototype and a clear recommendation for what to do next.

The diagnostic takes 1 to 2 weeks. The prototype takes 4 to 8 weeks. The technical plan takes 1 week. Most full projects take 6 to 11 weeks total depending on complexity.

A working prototype, a technical plan with technologies and costs, and a presentation so you can make the decision.

Not much. A few meetings to understand the problem, review progress, and align on direction. We keep you updated, but we do the heavy lifting.

Depends on the scope. We talk, understand the challenge, and send a proposal with a fixed price, timeline, and scope.

Payment is split into two parts: 50% upfront to start the project and 50% before final delivery. One price for the whole three-phase project.

The engagement is one fixed-scope project with three phases: diagnostic, prototype, and technical plan. We define the price, timeline, and scope upfront. After that, you decide only whether a separate implementation project makes sense.

Then you found out in weeks, not months. That's the whole point: test before you spend.

The main engagement is research, prototype, and technical plan. If the result looks right, we can scope a separate project to build the final product.

Yes. We sign NDAs when needed and treat everything confidentially.
