Question 1

What makes your AI-augmented approach different from traditional development agencies?

Accepted Answer

We combine AI with human expertise to deliver solutions 40-60% faster and 30-50% more cost-effectively than traditional agencies. AI handles repetitive tasks and optimization while our developers focus on strategy and quality. This results in better products delivered faster at lower costs.

Question 2

How quickly can you start a project after initial consultation?

Accepted Answer

Most projects begin within 5-7 business days after consultation and agreement signing. Our AI-augmented workflow enables faster preliminary assessments and planning. For urgent needs, we can accommodate expedited starts within 2-3 business days depending on complexity and current workload.

Question 3

Do you work with companies outside your primary industry focus?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While we have deep experience in fintech, e-commerce, and technology, our AI-augmented approach works across industries. We've delivered solutions for healthcare, manufacturing, professional services, and retail. During consultation, we'll be transparent about fit for your specific needs and industry requirements.

Question 4

What's included in your AI adoption consultation service?

Accepted Answer

Our consultation includes technology assessment, identification of high-impact AI opportunities, ROI projections, phased implementation strategy with timelines, vendor recommendations, and risk assessment. Most consultations complete within 2-3 weeks, resulting in a detailed action plan you can implement with us or independently.

Question 5

How do you handle data security and confidentiality for client projects?

Accepted Answer

All client data is protected by enterprise-grade encryption. We sign NDAs before discussions begin and comply with GDPR, CCPA, and industry-specific regulations. We never train AI models on your proprietary data without permission and can implement on-premise solutions when needed for maximum security.

Question 6

What is your typical engagement model - project-based or retainer?

Accepted Answer

We offer both. Project-based works for defined deliverables with fixed scope and cost. Retainers provide ongoing development, continuous optimization, and priority access with predictable monthly costs. Many clients start project-based and transition to retainers after seeing value in having dedicated technical support.

Question 7

Can you integrate AI solutions with our existing technology stack?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work with virtually any modern technology stack including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments. Before starting, we assess your infrastructure to identify integration points and optimization opportunities. Our solutions enhance existing systems rather than requiring complete rebuilds.

Question 8

What level of involvement do you need from our internal team?

Accepted Answer

We need a primary contact who understands business objectives and can make decisions. Most clients spend 2-5 hours weekly in meetings and reviews during active development. We handle the heavy lifting while you provide strategic direction. Limited internal resources aren't a problem—we adapt.

Question 9

Do you provide ongoing support after project completion?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every project includes a 30-90 day warranty period for bug fixes at no cost. Beyond that, we offer on-demand hourly support, monthly retainers, or full managed services. We provide documentation and training for independent management, though most clients choose ongoing support.

Question 10

What size companies do you typically work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with startups to enterprises, particularly effective for companies with $1M-$50M annual revenue. However, size matters less than project fit. What's important is having a clear business challenge, realistic expectations, and commitment to innovation. We've successfully served pre-revenue startups and large corporations alike.
