OPERATE-01 · OPERATE

Managed AI Operations

A senior owner for your production AI, on a defined scope — models watched, costs held, failures caught.

$12,000/monthOngoing

The written plan comes first — and the $750 credits toward Design or any Build for 90 days.

Operate is not refundable — it is cancel-anytime with 30 days' notice, prorated to your end date. Guarantee on the work, no lock-in on the relationship.

BWHAT THIS ISTHE BRIEF

A production AI system without an owner degrades: models drift, costs creep, failures go silent, and the context walks out the door. Operate I puts a senior owner on a defined scope of live systems — monitoring, cost control, incident response, and a monthly written operating brief. Cancel any time with 30 days' notice. Every Build includes its Operate period — 30, 60, or 90 days by tier.

BUILT FOR CTO or VP Engineering with AI in production and nobody whose job it is when it drifts, leaks, or breaks quietly.

CIS THIS FOR YOUFIT CHECK

WHEN YOU NEED THIS

  • The AI works but nobody owns it
  • Costs climb and no one can say why
  • Failures surface from users, not from monitoring
  • The engineer who built it is leaving or gone
  • A Build's included Operate period is ending

NOT FOR YOU IF

  • Nothing is in production yet — start with Design or a Build
  • You need a one-time deliverable, not ongoing ownership
  • No counterpart to make decisions with
DWHAT IT'S WORTHTHE RETURN

Compare it to the alternatives: a full-time AI hire runs $200K–$350K a year plus a months-long search, and no-owner costs you in silent failures and drift. One senior owner, month to month, cancel with 30 days' notice.

EVERSUS THE ALTERNATIVESTRADE-OFFS
No owner — drift, cost creep, and silent failures accumulate
A full-time AI lead ($200K–$350K/yr, months to hire)
Rotating consultants — the context resets every engagement
