Send the workflow

Email a paragraph on the workflow as it runs today. We reply with the two or three questions that decide whether it is worth building.

45 minutes with your engineers in the room, no deck. Architecture on the whiteboard and a verdict at the end.

What the 45 minutes covers
0–10
The workflow as it runs today

Who touches it, how often, and where the time and money actually go.

10–25
Architecture on the whiteboard

How we would build it inside your cloud, which parts stay deterministic, and where a model is genuinely required.

25–35
A deployment on screen

We share whichever of the seven deployments is closest to your problem and walk through the cost profile and what broke the first time.

35–45
Scope, timeline, and a verdict

A rough shape and figure, or the reason we think you should not build it. Both happen.

Useful in a first email
The workflow

What happens today, who does it, and how often.

The constraint

Compliance, cloud, data residency, or a deadline.

The stack

Where your data lives and which cloud you are on.

The trigger

Why now, and what happens if nothing changes.

Who should be there

The person who owns the problem, and one engineer who knows where the data lives. Four people maximum; it stops being a working session after that.

What it costs

Nothing, and there is no follow-up sequence. If there is no system worth building we say so in the call and leave you the architecture notes.

Where we work

On your cloud and in your repository. On site for discovery and handover weeks where it earns the travel.
