You’ve seen the demos: an AI produces something that looks right, then falls over the moment it meets your real data. Our pilot is the opposite. We build on your real (or representative) data from day one, within a fixed budget agreed before build starts, and you walk away with working software you can put in front of real users.
This is AI Native delivery: agents accelerate the build, senior engineers govern the outcome, and your pilot becomes real software rather than a disposable demo.
How the engagement works
Free scoping call
30 min · free · no obligation
By the end, you’ll know whether we think a pilot is worthwhile, which budget band fits, and what we need to confirm in the requirements call.
Confirm the budget
fixed budget · flexible scope
You confirm the budget to reserve the work. Size and platform can still change during the requirements stage - nothing is built until the spec is agreed.
Requirements call
60–90 min · included in your budget
We go deep on your users, processes, integrations and what success looks like. At this stage, we can resize, rescope or re-platform before build starts.
Build & delivery
working pilot · real or representative data · engineer-checked
We build and hand over a working pilot on real or representative data - ready to put in front of real users, with a clear view of what comes next.
What we mean by AI Native Delivery
AI Native Delivery does not mean handing your project to a chatbot. It means using agents as part of the delivery team from the start, with engineers responsible for architecture, quality, security and release decisions.
That is how we move quickly without treating your pilot as a throwaway experiment.
Three sizes. One fixed budget for each.
Together, we choose the right starting budget for your pilot. Budget tiers below are based on Locodium, our low-code platform. You can also select Power Platform, Appian or a custom platform build, priced in the next section.
Focused Pilot
One clear process, limited integrations, tightly defined user journey
Departmental Pilot
Broader workflow, more roles, more data, stronger handover
Strategic Pilot
Larger process, multiple integrations, more production-like foundation
Choose your platform
Locodium - base budget. Our own declarative low-code platform - APIs, forms, workflows and rules defined as configuration, not code. That structure is the ideal target for AI-assisted development, which makes it the default and the fastest route from sizing to a working prototype.

A pilot you can actually build on
Most pilots are throwaway - a quick demo that proves the idea, then gets rebuilt from scratch if you decide to go ahead. Ours isn’t. Our AI Native delivery model means the pilot is built to the same standard as the software we run for clients every day, so it’s something you can put in front of real users and keep. Your money buys a working foundation, not a sketch you’ll pay for twice. For the technically minded, here’s exactly how we build.
A decision you can trust
Your pilot works with your data and systems, so what you’re judging is the real thing performing in your world - not just a demo. You decide whether to go further on solid evidence, not a hunch.
Real software, ready to show
You get something that genuinely works - real enough to put in front of your users and your board, not a mock-up that only holds up on stage. If it’s right for you, it’s ready to take forward.
Nothing you pay for goes to waste
Whatever you spend earns its keep. If successful, the pilot becomes the first real piece of the finished product. And if unsuccessful, you’ve found out quickly, for a fraction of the cost of finding out the hard way.
Quality nobody has to take on trust
Everything is checked and signed off by senior engineers before it reaches you, so what you get is of the same quality as the software we run in production - not unchecked code from a machine.
