SmartOps Increment

Reliable, production-ready AI, delivered in fixed-price four-week releases.

4-week releasesPricing tailored to your scope

Fund AI development in predictable four-week releases. Scope flexes inside each increment; the price agreed for it does not. You're buying releases, not hours. Predictable cost, predictable progress.

Who it's for

  • Companies with a validated AI opportunity ready to build.
  • Teams that need steady delivery without open-ended budgets.
  • Leaders who want to reprioritize every four weeks based on results.

What we build

  • AI-native applications
  • Workflow automation and agents
  • The data pipelines and integrations those AI systems depend on

What you get

  • Working software every release

    Production software every four weeks.

  • Evaluation suite

    Tests that check the system against known-correct cases.

  • Documentation

    Documentation for what we build.

  • Handover

    A clean handover to your team.

How it works

A fixed-price release in production every four weeks. Then you decide what comes next.

4-week releases

  1. Step 1: Plan the release

    Agree what this release will deliver, and what it costs, before work starts.

    • A prioritized scope for the next four weeks, tied to the results you want
    • A fixed price for the release, agreed up front
    • A written scope boundary, so everyone knows what's in and what's out
  2. Step 2: Build

    Build the release, adjusting as we learn.

    • AI, workflow automation, and the data pipelines and integrations they depend on
    • Scope can flex inside the release. The price doesn't.
    • Any change outside the boundary is priced before work begins, never after
  3. Step 3: Test

    Prove it works before it ships.

    • An evaluation suite that tests the system against known-correct cases
    • Tests carried forward, so earlier work is re-checked with every release
    • Documentation for everything built
  4. Step 4: Release and review

    Put it into production, review the results, and set the next release.

    • Working software in production at the end of every four weeks
    • A review of results against what the release set out to do
    • You choose the next release, or decide there isn't one

Then the cycle repeats. Once a release is live, AI Run & Optimize keeps it accurate and cost-controlled.

The outcome

Escape manual tasks and spreadsheet reliance with production AI that improves release after release.

What comes next

Keep released systems tuned with AI Run & Optimize.

Frequently asked questions

How does fixed-price, four-week delivery work?

We agree the price for each four-week release before it starts. Scope can flex inside the release as we learn; the price does not. At the end of each cycle you review results and reprioritize the next release.

What does a SmartOps Increment cost?

Each increment is priced to your scope in a fixed proposal before work starts. You're buying releases, not hours.

Can we stop after one increment?

You reprioritize every four weeks based on results, so you decide what the next release should be, and whether there is one.
