Engagement models

Fixed-scope POC sprints, milestone product builds, retained engineering pods, and rescue engagements — structured for procurement teams and R&D leaders who need predictable delivery, not open-ended hourly billing.

Since 2018 · 50+ partners · 200+ projects · Hyderabad, India · NDA-first · source-open delivery

Fixed-scope POC sprint

2–4 week validation engagement with written go/no-go criteria before capital commitment.

Problem framing workshop + data/access audit
Baseline model or prototype with eval report
Go/no-go recommendation and full-build proposal
Fixed fee — no surprise scope creep

Product & platform builds

Milestone-based product build

Phased delivery from architecture through production with weekly demos and stage-gate invoicing.

EVT → DVT → production-ready milestones
Weekly demos to engineering + procurement stakeholders
Documentation, handover, and operator training included
IP assignment and source delivery at each gate

Continuous iteration

Retained engineering pod

Dedicated senior engineers embedded with your team — for ongoing model iteration, feature velocity, or platform maintenance.

2–4 engineer pod with tech lead accountability
Monthly sprint cadence aligned to your roadmap
SLA-backed response for production incidents
Scale up/down with 30-day notice

Stalled initiatives

Rescue & refactor engagement

Audit-first engagement for ML, IoT, or robotics programmes stuck between demo and production.

Technical audit + remediation roadmap in week 1
Root-cause analysis on data, infra, or integration gaps
Fixed remediation scope before continuing build
No junior bait-and-switch — seniors on every call

Which model fits your stage?

Your situation	Recommended model	Typical duration
Evaluating vendors / unproven feasibility	Fixed-scope POC sprint	2–4 weeks
Defined product brief, need production delivery	Milestone-based build	8–24 weeks
Ongoing roadmap + production ML/IoT	Retained engineering pod	6+ months
Failed pilot, vendor handoff, or tech debt	Rescue & refactor	Audit + 4–12 weeks
