Collaboration

How we work with you

Our proven process takes you from idea to working AI in weeks — not months. Every phase has clear deliverables, defined responsibilities, and an explicit checkpoint before moving forward. No surprises, no hidden costs.

00PHASE 0 · DISCOVERYJoint

Free discovery & audit call

1–2 hours · Free · No commitment

We map current workflows together, identify automation opportunities, and assess technical fit. Client shares tools, team size, data volumes, and pain points. We ask structured questions - not a sales pitch.

We deliver
  • Summary of findings + rough ROI sizing within 48h
Client brings
  • Willingness to share process details and current frustrations
01PHASE 1 · SCOPINGJoint

MVP scope definition & proposal

3–5 days · Included in project fee

We define the smallest buildable version that proves the core value - one workflow, one integration, one measurable outcome. Scope is explicit: what is included, what is not. No ambiguity.

We deliver
  • Written scope doc - fixed price, deadline, success criteria
Client brings
  • Domain context, required integrations, and 1–2 hours to finalize scope
Checkpoint

Client checkpoint - sign proposal + NOR / pay 50% if MVP + deposit: result not embedded.

02PHASE 2 · BUILDPyxero leads

MVP build & deployment

2–3 weeks · Fixed price

We build and deploy to a live staging environment. Mid-build check-in at week 1 to confirm direction. Client is not involved day-to-day but stays reachable for quick questions. No scope creep during this phase.

We deliver
  • Live staging URL + 1-pager walkthrough video / live technical summary
Client brings
  • Test cred - test data - Sample data / structured test/case providers (see details)
03PHASE 3 · TESTINGClient leads

Client testing with real workflows

1–2 weeks · Included

Client runs the MVP in actual daily work with real data - not a demo environment. This is an active obligation, not passive observation. We schedule one mid-test check-in to surface blockers early and handle bug fixes within 48h.

We deliver
  • Completed feedback doc - categorised list of fix/issue vs nice-to-have
Client brings
  • Bug fixes within 48h - open Slack - feedback debrief on close
04PHASE 4 · DECISIONJoint

Evaluation & Go / No-Go meeting

1 meeting · 1–2 hours

We review testing feedback together and measure results against the success criteria defined in step 02. Both sides make an honest assessment. Either party can walk away - no pressure.

Checkpoint

If Go → engagement letter, scope, milestones, and payment schedule signed. If No-Go → we hand over everything built so far, no further obligation.

05PHASE 5 · SCALEPyxero leads

Full solution development

6–12 weeks · Sprint-based billing

We build in 2-week sprints with a short demo at the end of each. Client reviews and approves before the next sprint begins. Scope changes must be agreed in writing - unplanned additions extend timeline and cost.

We deliver
  • Sprint demo every 2 weeks - weekly async update - production system
Client brings
  • Sprint feedback within 2 business days - no stakeholders outside the process
06PHASE 6 · HANDOVERJoint

Launch, training & handover

1 week · Included in project fee

Production deployment, recorded team training session, and full documentation handover. Client signs acceptance criteria. Final 50% payment on sign-off. All credentials, code, and IP transferred.

We deliver
  • Production system - training recording - technical docs - admin credentials
Client brings
  • Sign-off on acceptance - final payment - continued maintenance (if opted in)
07PHASE 7 · ONGOINGOptional

Managed optimisation retainer

Monthly · Fixed fee

Monthly monitoring, model tuning, workflow refinements, priority bug fixes, and incremental feature additions to the system - evolves with the business. No long-term lock-in; 30-day notice to pause or cancel at any time.

We deliver
  • Monthly report - monitoring - priority fixes - incremental improvements
Client brings
  • Feedback, change requests, and continued access to systems
