Where an engagement lands inside a band is set by the six factors below, not by how the conversation goes.
Six price movers
Whether labelled examples exist, whether the labels agree with each other, and how much capture has to happen before training can start.
Writing to a controller on a live line costs more than posting to an API. Every system the result has to reach adds interface work and a change window.
A system that advises a supervisor and a system that fires a reject gate carry different fail-safe design, different testing, and different sign-off.
Regulated and safety-critical work needs a documented validation record, held-out sets assembled with your team, and evidence a review board will accept.
Air-gapped sites, controlled technology, hostile environments and multi-site rollouts all add commissioning time that a cloud deployment never sees.
Per-tenant metering, inference budgets and the pricing model of the product being built shape the architecture, and therefore the build.
Start small enough to measure. Scale only when the evidence supports it.
FAQ
Because the alternative wastes everyone's time. You should know inside a minute whether we are in your range, and we would rather lose an unqualified conversation early than a qualified one late.
The Feasibility Check is free. The Feasibility Study and the AI Pilot are fixed once scope is signed. Everything above them is indicative until discovery has happened, then quoted per phase before that phase starts.
Pricing far under the US market is a signal, and not a good one: it means a corner is being cut somewhere, usually in testing, integration or who actually does the work. We sit modestly under boutique rates and say what the money buys.
Third-party costs are billed to your accounts at cost, never marked up through us: cloud, cameras, edge hardware, lighting, enclosures, mounting and any licences the deployment needs.
It includes a site survey, hardware, physical installation, integration with equipment you already run, and a monitored production period before the system is allowed to act. That is engineering time on your floor, not just in a repository.
Thirty minutes on the problem, the site and the constraints. If it looks like a fit, the next step is a four-week AI Pilot at a fixed price, with acceptance criteria signed before any code is written.
