Hephaestus Sprint
The fixed-price build: one RAG system or agent, with a golden eval set and a go or no-go to scale.
We take over operations, support and further development of your app, portal or connected product. You get a technical partner and skip building your own development team.
Got a platform nobody owns?
Two weeks at a fixed price. Afterwards you know what you have, what is risky and what is worth doing next.
It doesn't matter whether the platform already exists. We start where you are.
A small first step. Then you decide whether to go further.
We go through what you have: the platform, how it is run today and where AI can remove manual work. Fixed price. You get a clear picture of the risks and a prioritised list of what should be done.
We take responsibility for operations, support and further development on a monthly agreement. Small changes happen as we go. Larger requests get a fixed price before we start.
Once care is in place, a new AI system on the platform is a change order at a fixed price. One system, with a golden eval set. The monthly agreement stays about keeping the platform healthy.
See the Hephaestus SprintThe path is the platform check, then monthly care, then a fixed-price AI build. These are the kinds of builds. We price them after the check.
You shouldn't have to buy hours and run the work yourself. We take responsibility for keeping the platform working and making it better.
Takeover and monthly care stay here. The AI work has its own fixed shapes.

Short answers on how it works.
Yes, that is the most common situation. You need someone who knows the business and makes the decisions. We handle the technology and explain it so you can make decisions based on it.
We build on it. First we learn how it works and document it. Then we take over operations and support and suggest what should be improved. What works stays.
The platform check has a fixed price that you get before we start. If you continue, we set up a monthly agreement for operations, support and ongoing changes. Larger requests are priced one by one, at a fixed price.
Companies where technology matters to the business but isn't what you do yourselves. You have, or need, an app, a customer portal, a connected product or an online shop, but no development team of your own with time to look after it. If the platform is the product itself and you already have your own development team, our consulting is often a better fit.
Yes. That is the upgrade path: the two-week platform check, then the monthly agreement, then fixed-price AI builds. Care of the AI itself can sit on Managed AI Ops. Same split: the retainer keeps it healthy, new features are change orders.
