- What does an AI consulting engagement cost?
- A single verified workflow is $5,000, delivered in two to three weeks. A production build across several workflows starts at $10,000 and runs four to eight weeks. Both are fixed price — the number does not move after we agree the scope.
- How is this different from hiring an AI developer on a freelance marketplace?
- Price, mostly, and what you get for it. A freelancer will build the automation for a few hundred dollars and hand you a working demo. What you will not get is a written definition of correct, or an engine that checks it. If your automation touching real customers or real money is a problem when it silently breaks, that gap is what you are paying to close.
- What does verified actually mean here?
- Before any code is written we agree the criteria in writing — specific, measurable statements about what the system must do. Those become rows in a review engine that returns PASS or FAIL with the measured value. It is a script, not a judgement call, so it gives the same answer every time and it runs after we are gone.
- What happens if the gate fails?
- We fix it, or you do not pay the balance. Payment is half up front and half on delivery, and the second half is contingent on the criteria passing. You keep whatever has been built either way.
- Do you work with n8n, Zapier, Make and our existing tools?
- Yes, and often the right answer is to use them. Those platforms are good at connecting things. They are weak at proving a multi-step process did the right thing when nobody was watching, which is the part we add.
- Will you sign an NDA before we share anything?
- Yes. Send yours and we will sign it before you share systems, data or credentials, or use our short mutual NDA — happy to email it on request. Either way your material stays confidential and is never used as a portfolio piece without your written sign-off.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. It goes into your repository, under your account, including the review engine. There is no platform to stay subscribed to and nothing stops working if you stop working with us.
- Can I see client references?
- Not yet — this offer is new and we would rather say so than invent them. What we can show you is three multi-agent systems we built and run for our own work, each with a review engine that can fail it, and the source of the gates. On a call we will walk through one in detail, including what it caught.
