Pilot program · Q2 2026

Two clients.
One quarter.
Real case studies.

Doi clienți.
Un trimestru.
Case studies reale.

We're picking two pilot clients for Q2 2026. Reduced rates in exchange for the right to publish what we built — with real numbers, real names, and real lessons.

01 — Who's a fit

Three signs you're the right kind of client.

01

You have a real, measurable problem

Not "we want to use AI." More like "our team spends 30 hours/week processing invoices manually." We need numbers we can move.

02

You have data we can work with

Even messy data is fine. Spreadsheets, emails, PDFs, an existing CRM. What we need: enough volume to train and test against. A handful of examples isn't enough.

03

You're ok with publicity

The pilot trade is: we charge less, you let us write a public case study. Real name, real numbers, real lessons. If your industry requires anonymity, we can adapt — but transparency is the default.

02 — The 6-week process

From kickoff to production system in six weeks.

Week 1

Discovery

We embed with your team. Map workflows. Identify the highest-leverage automation. Define success metrics.

Deliverable: Discovery doc + project scope
Week 2

Design

System architecture. Eval suite. Security model. Rollout plan. Reviewed and signed off by your team before any code is written.

Deliverable: Technical spec + eval criteria
Week 3-4

Build

We build the system. Daily updates. Weekly demos. You see progress in real time, not at the end.

Deliverable: Working system in staging
Week 5

Test & polish

Real-world testing with your team. Edge cases. Performance tuning. Documentation. Training your operators.

Deliverable: Test report + runbook
Week 6

Deploy & handover

Production rollout. Source code transferred. Observability set up. Your team trained. Full IP transfer.

Deliverable: Live system + full ownership
After

Case study

30 days post-launch, we sit down together and write the case study. Real numbers, real lessons. You approve before publication.

Both win: you have a system, we have proof
03 — Pricing

What it costs — and what it would cost next quarter.

04 — FAQ

Things people actually ask.

What if the pilot fails?

It's a real risk and we treat it seriously. Our process catches most issues by Week 2 (the design phase). If we discover the project isn't viable, we tell you immediately and refund any unspent budget. We'd rather lose a small fee than ship something that doesn't work.

Who owns the code?

You do. 100%. After handover, you have the source code, the architecture diagrams, the eval suite, and the right to modify, sell, or open-source it. We don't keep a backdoor.

What about confidential data?

We sign an NDA before discovery starts. We can use private LLM deployments (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) if your data can't leave EU/your servers. The case study at the end can omit any sensitive specifics.

Can the case study be anonymous?

Yes, but with caveats. We can write 'a regional logistics company in Romania' instead of the real name. However, an anonymous case study has less proof value, so for fully anonymous projects we charge slightly more (closer to standard rate).

What if we want ongoing support after the 6 weeks?

We offer optional retainers (€500-1,500/month) for monitoring, model upgrades, and small adjustments. Most pilot clients don't need it — we ship systems that run themselves. But the option is there.

How do I know you can actually deliver?

You don't, with certainty. That's why the rate is reduced. The pilot program is built on this exact assumption — you're betting on us before we have proof. If that's not comfortable, wait until Q3 and pay standard rates after our first 2-3 case studies are public.
