The work that lets a rocket fly happens on the ground — in the parts list, the procedures, the checks no one applauds.

Live in six weeks.
Integrated with your stack.
Measured from day one.
We deploy the right AI for each use case — voice agents, AI OCR, document automation, chat agents, workforce enablement — and connect it to your CRM, ERP, or AP system. No demos sitting in a sandbox. Working systems your operators actually use.

From kickoff to first measurable result. Five-week deployments are common; nine-week is the longest we've shipped.

§ 01 · Why most deployments fail
Deployment isn't a tooling problem. It's an integration problem.
Most failed AI projects didn't pick the wrong model. They got demoware running, then never connected it to the systems that move money — invoices, calls, orders, customer data. The result is a "pilot" that lives in a vendor sandbox forever.
We do the unglamorous work: API integration, data pipelines, exception handling, change management with the team that has to use it daily. That's where six weeks goes — not the model.
01
We integrate, not demo.
Every deployment connects to your real ERP, CRM, AP system, or phone line. We don't ship anything that lives in a vendor sandbox.
02
We measure from week one.
NavigAIte instruments every deployment. You see the ROI accruing in real time — invoice volume processed, calls answered, hours saved — not in a quarterly slide deck.
03
We train the team, not the executive.
The people doing the work get walkthroughs, exception playbooks, and a Slack channel into our team for the first 60 days. Adoption isn't an afterthought — it's the deliverable.
04
We pick the right tool for each job.
VoiceFlow for inbound voice. AI OCR vendors for invoices. Anthropic Teams & Enterprise for workforce enablement. We're not a single-vendor shop — we use what actually works.
§ 02 · What we build
Three deployments. One operating system.
Each is a productized engagement — fixed scope, fixed timeline, measurable ROI. Pick one to start; we add the others as they earn their place in your P&L.

§ 03 · The six-week method
Six weeks. From kickoff to first measurable result.
Same shape for every deployment. Different tooling, same rigour. You know what's happening in week three, week five, and week six before we start.
Week 01
Kickoff & access
System access, data sample, stakeholder map. We meet your AP lead, your ops manager, your IT contact.
Week 02
Build & integrate
API connections, OCR training, prompt engineering, exception logic. Working in your test environment by Friday.
Week 03
Pilot run
10% of live volume routed through the system. Errors logged. Edge cases catalogued. Team observes.
Week 04
Tune & train
We refine on real exceptions and walk your team through the dashboard. Adoption playbook delivered.
Week 05
Scale
Volume to 100%. NavigAIte instrumentation goes live. ROI starts accruing.
Week 06
Handoff & review
First ROI readout. 60-day Slack channel opens for your team. Quarterly review cadence begins.
§ 04 · The stack
The same tooling Fortune 500s use. Without the Big 4 markup.
We're not a single-vendor consultancy. We pick the tool that fits the use case, integrate it with your stack, and own the result. Most deployments use 2–3 of these in combination.

The first invoice they processed came back with the GL code right. The first call the agent took booked an appointment. That's when I stopped worrying and started forecasting.

§ 05 · How it's priced
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Measured outcome.
Every deployment is a fixed-fee engagement with a defined success metric. No retainers, no hourly billing, no scope creep. If we can't hit the metric inside the timeline, we keep working until we do.
Single deployment
One workflow, six weeks, fully integrated. Includes build, training, 60-day support, and 90 days of NavigAIte tracking.
$45–85KFixed fee
Multi-workflow program
Three or more workflows over 4–6 months. Sequenced so the first deployment funds the second. Same fixed-fee structure per workflow.
From $135KPer program
NavigAIte license
Ongoing platform access for client teams. Required for every active deployment, included free for the first 90 days.
$1,200Per month
Quarterly governance review
Strategy session with our team to review the ROI ledger, prioritise the next deployment, and stress-test the roadmap.
