01Scoped engagement
Find the failure modes before users do.
Agent Safety & Evaluation Audit
A bounded review of the use case, tool boundaries, adversarial behavior, and recovery paths—delivered with repeatable tests and prioritized findings.
Best for: Teams with an LLM or agent feature that works in demos but lacks repeatable evidence about risk and reliability.
Starting at: From $3,500, fixed scope
- Threat and tool-boundary map
- Normal, ambiguous, adversarial, and unsafe test scenarios
- Repeatable evaluation harness or test suite
- Prioritized guardrail, logging, and human-review recommendations
02Scoped engagement
Give the agent useful tools—and clear limits.
MCP & Tool Integration Sprint
Design and implement a maintainable MCP or API tool layer with schemas, permissions, error handling, tests, and a clean handoff.
Best for: Teams connecting an agent to an API, database, internal tool, or operational workflow.
Starting at: From $6,000, fixed scope
- Tool, schema, and permission design
- MCP server/client or API integration
- Failure-path and tool-selection tests
- Setup documentation and handoff walkthrough
03Scoped engagement
One real workflow, end to end.
Applied-AI Working Slice
Turn one concrete workflow into a working slice with tool use, retrieval or routing, observability, human review, and defined acceptance scenarios.
Best for: Teams that need a production-shaped implementation before funding a broader AI initiative.
Starting at: From $8,000, fixed scope
- Workflow map and acceptance scenarios
- One bounded end-to-end implementation
- Logging, evaluation, review, and recovery behavior
- Client-controlled deployment or documented handoff
04Scoped engagement
Make the workflow survive contact with the team.
AI Adoption & Enablement Sprint
Map the real work, configure the bounded workflow, train with actual scenarios, and define escalation and outcome measures.
Best for: Operators who selected an AI tool but still need the workflow, controls, training, and reinforcement required for actual use.
Starting at: From $4,500, fixed scope
- Current-state and future-state workflow map
- Role-specific operating guidance and training
- Human-review and escalation rules
- Go-live support and adoption measures
05Scoped engagement
Experienced delivery support without a full-time hire.
Fractional Applied-AI Engineering
A project or monthly SOW with priorities, clear boundaries, a review cadence, and concise delivery reporting.
Best for: Product teams and consultancies that need recurring, client-facing applied-AI support for a defined backlog.
Starting at: From $4,000 per month, cancel monthly
- Prioritized delivery backlog
- Hands-on Python and TypeScript implementation
- Weekly written status, risks, and decisions
- Documentation and maintainable client handoff
Starting prices are published so you can decide before a call. The written statement of work fixes the final price, scope, access, acceptance criteria, third-party costs and schedule; anything outside it is quoted in advance at $150 per hour. All work is remote.
