Primary starting engagement
AI Production Readiness & Evidence Sprint
Baseline the system, expose failure modes, define human-review and release gates, and leave with a decision-ready technical evidence package.
Services
Choose the engagement that answers the current decision
Five fixed-scope and recurring engagements for AI production readiness, .NET and SQL modernization, evaluation release gates, architecture oversight, and partner discovery.
Engagement selectorChoose the smallest useful engagement
- Purpose
- Select the bounded engagement that answers the current decision with inspectable outputs.
- Boundary
- Recurring oversight and partner discovery are context-dependent follow-ons, not substitutes for facts.
Decision-first selection
Establish facts before committing to open-ended implementation
Recurring oversight and partner discovery are useful only when their required context exists.
- 01Establish the facts
Map the system, decision, evidence, and responsibility boundary.
- 02Address verified gaps
Implement only the remediation or release mechanism supported by the evidence.
- 03Maintain recurring judgment
Add ongoing architecture oversight only after the system context and operating need are clear.
| Service | Best trigger | Decision produced | Duration | Starting investment | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Production Readiness Sprint | An AI feature, RAG system, copilot, reviewer, or agent is approaching production, enterprise review, or a consequential expansion. | Proceed, narrow, remediate, or stop - with a measured baseline and explicit release conditions. | 3 weeks | $20,000 | View scope |
| .NET & SQL Modernization Blueprint | A business-critical .NET or SQL Server system is difficult to change because behavior is hidden across code, stored procedures, reports, integrations, and workarounds. | What must be preserved, where reversible seams can be created, and how modernization should be sequenced. | 3-5 weeks | $30,000 | View scope |
| AI Evaluation & Release Gates | A measured baseline exists, but the team cannot reproduce evaluations, compare changes, calibrate reviewers, or block degraded releases consistently. | How quality, access, cost, latency, human review, and failure thresholds become an inspectable release process. | 6-8 weeks | $60,000 | View scope |
| Architecture & Reliability Office | An initial assessment or implementation has exposed recurring architecture and reliability decisions that cannot be handled as occasional ad hoc advice. | Which risks, releases, vendors, and modernization priorities deserve attention each month and quarter. | 3-6 month initial term | $9,500-$12,500 per month | View scope |
| Joint Discovery Workshop | A partner needs to test technical fit, client interaction, workstream boundaries, and the smallest credible next step without requesting extensive free presales. | Whether a specialist workstream is viable, how it should be bounded, and what proposal-ready next scope is justified. | 2 working days plus preparation and readout | $5,000 | View scope |
AI readiness and release
Measure the behavior and define the release boundary.
Implementation after a measured baseline
AI Evaluation & Release-Gate Implementation
Implement versioned evaluation fixtures, repeatable regression runs, human calibration, failure triage, and release scorecards around an existing AI workload.
Microsoft modernization
Understand the behavior before replacing the technology.
Primary starting engagement
AI-Ready .NET & SQL Modernization Blueprint
Map hidden business behavior, dependencies, data ownership, parity tests, modernization seams, and a reversible delivery sequence before committing to a rewrite.
Recurring oversight
Maintain architecture and reliability judgment after context exists.
Context-dependent follow-on
Architecture & Reliability Office
Maintain architecture decisions, AI system inventory, evaluation standards, vendor review, risk ownership, and executive visibility after context is established.
Partner discovery
Define a named specialist workstream without hidden labor.
Partner-entry engagement
Joint Discovery & Architecture Workshop
A paid trust bridge that produces a high-level system map, gap summary, workstream boundary, and recommendation for the smallest credible next engagement.
FAQ
Service and commercial questions
Which engagement should I start with?
Start with the decision that is blocked. AI Production Readiness is for a production or procurement decision; the Modernization Blueprint is for a critical Microsoft system; Evaluation & Release Gates follows when a baseline exists but repeatable release evidence does not.
Are government prices the same?
The public prices are commercial starting investments. Government and subcontract pricing depends on the solicitation, labor structure, flow-downs, security requirements, period of performance, and negotiated scope.
How are scope changes handled?
Additional systems, use cases, data classifications, implementation work, or delivery requirements require a written change or separate statement of work.
What happens after an initial engagement?
The next step may be remediation, implementation, recurring architecture oversight, a partner-led workstream, or a documented stop decision. No expansion is automatic.
Next action
Bring the system, the trigger, and what cannot fail.
Start with public-safe context. Sensitive evidence moves only after fit, responsibility, scope, and an approved channel are clear.
