SERVICES · DESIGN → BUILD → OPERATE

One workflow, built and then run.

Fixed price agreed before work starts, written targets in the contract, and full refund on Design and Build until you accept. Each step credits toward the next.

VERSUS THE ALTERNATIVES

Three ways to get this built.

ML LABSA 40-engineer agencyAn in-house hire
Cash in year oneOne fixed price, quoted in Design and committed in the statement of work before any build starts.Discovery, staffing and ramp are billed before code is. Six figures is the floor at this scope.A senior engineer and a product lead land near $340–430K a year fully loaded, before either ships anything.
Who does the workThe person who scoped it, start to finish.Whoever is on the bench that month, under a partner you met once.The person you hired, once they have ramped.
Coordination taxNone. One context, one decision-maker.Paid on every ticket — standups, handoffs, specs written for the next person.Low inside the team, high across it.
Context retentionTotal, and it does not reset between engagements.Resets with staffing. Your domain is relearned on your budget.Total, and it walks out with them.
AccountabilityOne name, on the plan and on the failure.Distributed until something breaks, then contested.Clear, until they are reassigned.
Time to first working softwareShort. There is nobody to bring up to speed.Long. Discovery, staffing, and ramp happen before code does.Longest. A search, a notice period and a ramp — three to four months before day one.
After launchIncluded by default — every Build carries its Operate period, run by the person who built it.A new statement of work, a new team, a new discovery phase.Yours, alongside everything else on their plate.
Bus factorOne. Hedged by the continuity commitment above — your repository, your credentials, and an unavailability clause that stops the fees.Genuinely better. This is the row an agency wins.One, and without a contract behind it.

No throughput figures here, because we have not measured any we would be willing to defend. The alternative costs are market ranges you can check against your own last quote and your own loaded salary numbers — they are not quotes from us. Everything else above is a structural claim you can check against the contract.

One Program, One Owner

Several workflows built together as one program — one plan, one owner accountable for all of it.

Why every Build includes Operate. AI without an owner quietly gets worse — it drifts off the mark, costs creep, failures go silent. Every Build includes its Operate period, 30–90 days by tier, run by the person who built it — and it continues past that only if you say yes.

→WHAT THE $750 BUYSWHAT YOU OWN

You leave owning the plan — whether or not you hire us.

  • ·The written plan
  • ·A budget range, with its assumptions
  • ·A go / no-go, in writing
  • ·The risks that would sink it
  • ·The next step, and its price
  • ·Sixty minutes with the person who would build it

The $750 comes back off the next step — The full $750 is credited against Design or against any Build tier. It expires 90 days after your plan is delivered. And if the plan gives you nothing you can use, tell us within 14 days and the $750 comes back.
