A fixed-scope engagement that ends with a defensible business decision: a scored use case, a working prototype against your own data, and a costed plan to production — typically in four to six weeks.

What it is

A defensible answer, not another slide deck.

We turn AI intent into a scored use case, a prototype that proves the approach against your own data, and a written roadmap a non-technical leadership audience can approve funding against. It is the lowest-friction entry to the ladder, and it points to whichever build fits.

What we deliver

Scope, stated up front.

A scored use case

A written scoring framework, applied with your stakeholders, across feasibility, business value, data readiness and risk.

A working prototype

A narrow prototype that proves the core technical approach against your own or realistically sampled data — feasibility, not production.

A costed plan to production

An architecture note, a phased roadmap and a cost model covering infrastructure and effort — a real number for the next budget conversation.

Deployment & operating model

In your environment, for a fixed outcome.

Discovery workshops with your business and technical stakeholders; the prototype and plan targeted at AWS, Azure or on-prem to match your environment. No lock-in — the roadmap and prototype are yours to use with any team.

Your environment

AWS, Azure or on-prem — your account, your data, your access controls

Senior review

Senior technical review before delivery and before acceptance

Milestone payments

Fixed scope, fixed outcome, milestone payments — no lock-in

Next step

Start with a discovery call.

Thirty minutes with engineering — your use case, our experience, a scoped proposal.

Common questions

Direct answers, before you commit.

How long does it take?

Typically four to six weeks: a four-week track for a single, well-scoped use case; a six-week track where more stakeholders or candidate use cases are involved. Duration and deliverable are confirmed in the discovery call.

Who needs to be involved?

A real business stakeholder plus a technical contact. The scoring depends on business input, not just IT, so the recommendation is owned jointly.

We tried a pilot before and it went nowhere — why is this different?

This starts with a written scoring framework and ends with a costed production roadmap, not just another prototype. The goal is a business decision you can fund, not a demo.

What if we don't build production with Applivity?

The roadmap, architecture note and prototype are yours to use with any team. There is no lock-in to continue with us.
