Tier 01 · Build

Bespoke AI agents engineered into the way your team already works.

For 10–200 person teams, founders, and creative groups that need speed, integration, and ownership of the system. No retainers. No black boxes. The team that runs the agent is the team that owns it.

Engagement models

Four ways into Build.

Engagement 01

Build Discovery

Workflow audit and AI opportunity map. Two weeks to a 1-page recommendation and a scoped first agent.

  • Workshop with the team that owns the workflow
  • Capability scoring against the AI Readiness Framework
  • Top-3 opportunities ranked by leverage and feasibility
  • Recommendation memo and indicative scope for the first agent
From R45k
1–2 weeks · fixed scope

Engagement 03

Agent Suite

Up to three coordinated agents serving one team, orchestrated under a shared governance layer.

  • Suite design: agent boundaries, hand-offs, shared context
  • Built and shipped in one engagement, not three sequential projects
  • Shared observability and policy layer across all three
  • Capability transfer to the team operating the suite
From R250k
6–10 weeks · fixed scope

Engagement 04

Continuous

Ongoing iteration once a Build engagement has shipped. Capability extension, model migration, new agents.

  • Monthly cadence, quarterly capability targets
  • Model migrations as the frontier evolves
  • New agent additions to the suite
  • Optional handover into your internal AI CoE
From R35k/month

What Build is not

The boundary matters.

Build does not produce open-ended retainers, generic AI workshops, "we'll just use ChatGPT for you" engagements, or vendor implementations dressed up as agency services. The deliverable is always a working system the client team can operate.

If you want labour, we will refer you. If you want a system, this is the right tier.

FAQ

Common questions before a Build engagement.

Can we keep the agent if we stop working with you?

Yes. That is the point. Every Build engagement ends with capability transfer: source code, runbooks, training, and ownership of the operational accounts. The day you can run it without us is the day the engagement worked.

What if a better model comes out three months in?

The architecture is vendor-agnostic. Models are swappable behind the orchestration layer. We build expecting the frontier to move. A Continuous engagement covers the migration if you want us to handle it; if not, it's documented for your team to handle.

How is this different from buying ChatGPT Enterprise?

ChatGPT Enterprise gives every user a chat window. Build gives you a system: an agent with your data, your tools, your guardrails, your audit trail, integrated into the workflow that pays you. They solve different problems.

What if our data is sensitive?

Then we deploy under a Local Inference, Hybrid, or Private Enterprise pattern. Sovereignty, residency, and access governance are designed in from the architecture stage: not bolted on later.

How much will this cost on the high end?

Build engagements range from R45k for Discovery to about R550k for an Agent Suite. Continuous starts at R35k/month. Anything above that is Transform territory and we'll route you accordingly.

Recommended next step

Scope your first Build engagement.

The default entry is Build Discovery: fixed scope, fixed fee, and ends with a one-page recommendation. From there, the choice between Single Agent, Agent Suite, or no engagement at all is yours.
