Four shapes an engagement can take.
Engagements aren't custom snowflakes; they take one of four shapes. Find yours here, then bring it to the diagnostic and we'll pressure-test the fit.
The single-layer build.
One layer, all four moves, scoped tight. Fits teams with a clear bottleneck: a site that agents can't read, a kernel three systems disagree with, a pilot that needs governance to ship.
Typical transition: one level on the maturity ladder, often L1 to L2 or L2 to L3 within the layer. It's also the shape that de-risks us as a vendor: one layer done well is its own reference check.
The multi-layer transformation.
The full stack, sequenced: kernel first in most cases, then surface and voice in parallel, agents last. Fits companies that have decided the intelligence-platform argument is right and want the whole build.
Typical transition: L1 or L2 to L3 in the first 90 days, L4 as agents ship against the clean kernel. The sequencing is the value; every layer lands on one that's ready for it.
The ongoing partnership.
Operate, as a standing engagement: governance reviews, new automations, agent iteration, and reporting that keeps reading from one truth. Fits teams that finished a build and want the compounding to continue with us in the loop.
Typical transition: holding L3 or L4 while the company changes around it, which is harder than reaching it once. This is the only shape without an end date, and it's exitable with notice by design.
The vertical package.
A pre-shaped stack for industries we've already mapped: the objects, integrations, and paths that industry always needs, adapted rather than invented. Fits professional services firms and contractors today.
Typical transition: L1 to L3 faster than a bespoke build, because the patterns arrive proven. The by-industry pages show what's in each package.
Which shape do most companies pick?
Most start single-layer, and most of those convert to partnership after the 90-day pass, because the first layer's results make the case for the next. Starting small isn't a lesser engagement; it's the standard on-ramp.
