Three ways to work with us
Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute scoping call. No obligation, no slide deck. After that call we send a written proposal within three working days. Below are our standard packages; we adjust scope and price for unusual requirements.
Discovery sprint
- Stakeholder interviews (up to six people)
- Data-estate assessment
- Prioritised roadmap document
- Go/no-go recommendation with ROI estimate
Model build
- Everything in the discovery sprint
- Data cleaning and feature engineering
- Model training, evaluation and bias audit
- Deployment to your cloud or on-premises environment
- Documentation and handover training (half-day)
Ongoing support
- Model performance monitoring and drift alerts
- Quarterly retraining with updated data
- Up to 16 hours of engineering time per month
- Priority email and phone support (response within 4 hours on weekdays)

How we set prices
We charge for time and expertise, not for the data you give us or the predictions the model makes. There are no per-query fees, no usage tiers, no surprise invoices at the end of the month.
The discovery sprint is always a fixed fee. You know the cost before we start, and it does not change. For model builds, we quote a range after the scoping call because the amount of data-cleaning work varies significantly between projects. A company with a well-maintained data warehouse will land at the lower end; a company whose records live in 40 spreadsheets with inconsistent column names will be closer to the upper end. We break the estimate into milestones so you can see where the money goes.
Ongoing support is billed monthly. We send an itemised timesheet with every invoice showing exactly what we worked on. If you used fewer than 16 hours in a given month, the unused hours do not roll over, but we will flag the pattern and suggest stepping down to ad-hoc support if it continues.
All prices are quoted in GBP and exclude VAT. We invoice on the first working day of each month, with payment due within 14 days.
Questions we hear often
Not necessarily. If you already have a clear problem definition, clean data and an internal data team that has done preliminary analysis, we can skip straight to the build phase. During the scoping call we will assess whether a sprint is needed or whether we can move directly to a proposal.
Then we tell you so, and the roadmap document will recommend alternatives. You still pay the £4,500 for the sprint because the work has been done, but you avoid spending five or six times that on a model that would not have delivered value. About one in five sprints ends with a "not yet" recommendation, usually because the underlying data needs more work before modelling is worthwhile.
Yes. Give us written notice (email is fine) and the plan ends at the close of the current billing period. We do not charge early-termination fees. If there is monitoring infrastructure to hand over, we will schedule a brief call to walk your team through it.
We do. We currently have clients in Germany and the Netherlands. Discovery sprints for non-UK clients include one on-site visit (travel expenses billed at cost); the rest of the engagement is remote. We invoice in GBP, but we can discuss EUR invoicing for EU-based companies.
You do. All custom code, trained model weights, documentation and pipeline configurations created during the engagement are assigned to you upon final payment. We retain the right to use general techniques and methodologies (things we knew before the project) but nothing specific to your data or business.
