Most agency AI dies the day the contract ends. Ours is yours to keep.

AI development · built for FinTech & HealthTech

The agents belong to the vendor, so the build dies with the invoice. We do it the opposite way: governed AI agents and document intelligence developed inside the software you already run, live in 21 days, and you own the code at handover. No six-month discovery. No lock-in.

Most governed use cases: $15–40K · 50/50 · live in 21 days or you don’t pay the second half.

In 21 days you become the team that shipped AI that actually works, while everyone else is still explaining stalled pilots to the board.

The honest version

What most AI development
companies won't tell you.

Search "AI development company" and page one is generalist shops listing fifty services across nine industries, showing client logos, and hiding the five things that actually decide whether your project ships. We lead with all five, in the open.

Pricing
No number anywhere. You book a call to hear a range, then a bigger one after discovery.
Published up front: $15,000 to $40,000 for one production use case, scoped to what it actually touches.
Process
No how-it-works, no timeline. You sign first and find out how they work afterwards.
The full 21-day governed build, shown step by step, so you know exactly what happens and when.
Governance
"AI security" listed as one service line among fifty, added late if at all.
Governed by design: permission limits, human checks on risk, and a full audit trail, built in from day one.
Focus
Do-everything menus and generalist teams spread thin across every AI buzzword.
One high-value use case, shipped to production, then expanded. Depth over breadth, every time.
Ownership
Implied lock-in: their platform, their license, ongoing dependency on them to keep it running.
You own the code, models, docs and governance framework, inside your own stack. Zero lock-in.
What we build

Focused AI systems,
built into your stack.

Not a fifty-item menu. Four things we do deeply, each framed as an outcome, each governed, each running inside the software you already own.

AI agents

Goal-driven systems that decide and act across your tools, from lead qualification to back-office workflows, with a human check on anything risky.

Explore AI agents →

Document intelligence

AI that reads, extracts, classifies and routes documents at scale, turning contracts, forms and reports into structured, actionable data.

Talk to us about document AI →

Workflow automation

Multi-step processes that used to eat afternoons, run start to finish across your systems, adapting when reality does not match the script.

Knowledge and retrieval

Systems that answer from your own data reliably, so your team gets accurate, sourced answers instead of a model guessing.

How it works

Concept to production
in 21 days.

The process no competitor shows you. One focused use case, governed from day one, in your hands in three weeks.

Step 01

Scope

We pick one high-value use case where the inputs are consistent enough to act on. No data warehouse required first.

Days 1–5
Step 02

Build

We build the system into your existing stack, with permission limits and human checks designed in from the start.

Days 6–12
Step 03

Govern

We wire the audit trail and guardrails so every action is logged and anything risky escalates to a person.

Days 13–18
Step 04

Handover

You get the code, models, docs and a trained team. It runs in production, owned by you, on day 21.

Days 19–21
The difference

Governed by design,
not bolted on.

An ungoverned AI system is a fast worker with no supervisor. It does what it infers you want, at scale, including the things you did not intend. Every system we build has four guardrails the demo-shops skip. Read more on what governed AI means and how it differs across AI agents.

Permission limits
It can only touch the systems you approve and take the actions you allow. Nothing wanders.
Human on risk
Low-risk steps run automatically. Anything that spends, sends or changes a sensitive record pauses for a person.
Full audit trail
Every decision and action is logged, so you can see what it did and why, and prove it later if you need to.
Owned by you
The system, its logic and its data stay inside your stack. No black box, no lock-in, no dependency on us.

Where it lands

The use cases that
actually ship.

The reliable wins are narrow and well-defined. These are the ones we put into production most often.

Lead qualification

Score, route and enrich inbound leads automatically, so sales only touches the ones worth the time.

Document processing

Read contracts, forms and invoices, extract the fields, and push clean data into your systems.

Support triage

Classify, prioritise and draft replies to incoming tickets, with a human sending anything sensitive.

Compliance monitoring

Watch for exceptions across your data and flag them to a person before they become a problem.

Knowledge retrieval

Answer staff and customer questions from your own documents, with the source cited every time.

Back-office workflows

Run the repetitive multi-step processes that quietly eat hours across finance, ops and admin.

The proof

Real builds,
in real businesses.

A sample of governed systems we have put into production. Client names withheld; the work is real.

FinTech · loan underwriting
The problem

Every AI recommendation on a loan application had to be auditable, for regulators and internal risk review.

What we built

Governed document-analysis AI with decision logs, model-version tracking and human approval checkpoints.

Compliance officers can trace exactly how each recommendation was reached.

Operations · document processing
The problem

Staff were manually processing several thousand documents a month, with frequent data-entry errors.

What we built

An AI extraction system that auto-structures the data straight into their existing reporting workflow.

Manual processing time cut substantially, and accuracy improved.

Sales · lead qualification
The problem

The sales team ignored the AI lead scores and kept working leads the old way, so the system went unused.

What we built

We redesigned the CRM so the score directly drives routing and follow-ups, with a human in the loop.

Adoption went from near-zero to full within two weeks.

Every build is governed, developed inside the software you already run, and yours to keep at handover.

Why governance pays

The expensive failure mode
is the ungoverned one.

The cost that hurts is not the build. It is the ungoverned agent ripped out after it causes a problem, or the six-month project that never reaches production. McKinsey's State of AI 2025 found that while 88% of organisations regularly use AI in at least one function, only 23% are actively scaling an agentic system. Governance and a narrow first scope are what close that gap.

Honest fit

Who this is for,
and who it isn't.

Built first for FinTech and HealthTech teams, where governed, auditable AI is not optional. It works anywhere a repetitive, well-defined workflow is quietly eating real hours.

A good fit if you

  • Have one repetitive, well-defined task that eats real hours
  • Want AI inside the software you already run, not a new platform
  • Care that it is governed, auditable, and yours to keep
  • Would rather prove value in 21 days than commit to six months

Not for you if you

  • Want a 300-engineer team to rebuild everything from scratch
  • Need full autonomy over a critical function with no human check
  • Have no stable process to point an agent at yet
  • Are shopping purely on lowest price, governance aside

Straight answers

AI development,
your questions.

What does AI development cost?
A production, governed AI build for one use case typically runs $15,000 to $40,000, delivered through a fixed-scope 21-day pilot. We publish that range openly. Most competitors will not name a number before a sales call.
How is this different from a generic AI development company?
Generic shops sell breadth and hide pricing, process and governance. We sell the opposite: a narrow, governed build into your existing stack, a transparent price, a 21-day timeline, and full ownership at handover. Governance is designed in, not bolted on.
What can you actually build?
Custom AI agents, document intelligence, workflow automation and retrieval systems, built into the software you already run. We scope one high-value use case first, ship it to production, then expand.
What does governed AI development mean?
Every system we build runs inside explicit permission limits, escalates risky actions to a human, and logs every decision for audit. You can see what it does and why, and switch it off. That is what makes AI safe to run in a real business.
How long does it take?
One production use case is live in 21 days, not the six-month engagements large consultancies run. We start with a focused pilot so you prove value on real work before committing further.
What do I own at the end?
Everything. Source code, models, documentation and the governance framework, running inside your own stack. Zero lock-in, no dependency on us to keep it running.
