About this service
Summary
FAQs
What types of AI systems do you build?
I design and build both agentic AI systems and deterministic automations, depending on the use case, risk profile, and business requirements. This includes internal tools, workflow automations, data-connected LLM systems, and production-grade AI agents.
Do I need clean data or an existing AI stack to start?
No. I assess your current data, systems, and constraints first, then design solutions that work within your reality. If remediation is needed, I clearly outline what to fix and why before building.
How long do engagements typically take?
Engagements usually run 3 to 6 weeks, while builds and implementations vary based on scope. I focus on fast, well-scoped execution rather than open-ended timelines.
Is this suitable for regulated or risk-sensitive environments?
Yes. I design AI systems with security, privacy, and operational risk in mind, and I intentionally choose deterministic or agentic approaches based on compliance and reliability needs.
What happens after the initial engagement?
Clients typically continue with system buildout, scaling, or ongoing architecture support. The initial work is designed to stand alone while naturally supporting a longer-term partnership.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is fixed and scoped per engagement, not hourly. This ensures clear deliverables, predictable costs, and aligned incentives around outcomes rather than time spent.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept ACH, wire transfer, and major credit cards. Invoicing is handled digitally and payment details are provided upon agreement.
Are there long-term contracts or minimum commitments?
No. Initial engagements are standalone and require no long-term commitment. Ongoing work or retainers are optional and agreed only if there is clear mutual value.
Can the initial engagement be credited toward a larger project?
Yes. In many cases, the cost of an initial engagement can be applied toward a larger build or longer-term partnership if we continue working together.
What's included
AI Opportunity & Leverage Map
I identify where AI will actually move the needle in your business. I analyze your workflows, data, and constraints to surface high-impact AI opportunities, then prioritize them by ROI, speed to value, and implementation risk so you know exactly what to build, what to plan, and what to ignore.
AI Systems Architecture Blueprint
I design a production-ready architecture for your AI systems, covering models, data flows, orchestration, security, scalability, and cost. You receive an implementation-ready blueprint that aligns leadership and engineering before development begins and remains valuable even if you build internally.
Working Agentic or Deterministic AI System
I build a real, working AI agent or automation that proves value quickly. The system's connect to your actual data or workflows and is designed to either autonomously reason and act or execute predefined logic reliably, based on your risk tolerance and business needs.
AI Risk, Cost & Readiness Audit
I assess whether your organization is ready to deploy and scale AI safely. I evaluate data readiness, security and privacy risks, operational constraints, and long-term cost exposure, then clearly outline what must be addressed before moving forward.
