HOW WE WORK
Start small enough to prove. Build well enough to scale.
Every engagement moves through explicit gates. A successful proof earns the right to production. A failed one saves you from scaling the wrong thing.
Start a DiagnosticDiagnostic (two to four weeks) → Proof of Value on one workflow (fifteen to thirty days, measured on the ruler frozen before day one) → Production in your estate (six to twelve weeks; ten to twenty for multi-system or regulated) → Run (Helmwize licence, Maritime Pack subscription, managed intelligence).

Helmwize licence, Maritime Pack subscription, managed intelligence.
Engagement terms
Production
What does production include?
| Workstream | Detail |
|---|---|
| Workflow | The process that changes. |
| Data | What is observed, and where it comes from. |
| Integration | APIs, events, governed views, files, approved email. |
| Intelligence | Connect, contextualise, retrieve, calculate, reason, act. |
| Evaluation | Acceptance tests on every production workflow. |
| Security | Identity first. Least privilege. Engines hold no credentials. |
| Governance | Staged, not committed. Named person for every commit. |
| Experience | The people who run the work. |
| Change | What has to change around the software. |
| Measurement | The same ruler used to approve the work. |
Price
Fixed fee to diagnose. Fixed fee to prove. Milestones to deploy. An annual licence to run it yourself.
Licence by vessel for fleets, by site for ports and yards. No numbers published. No open-ended discovery engagement. No software licence before we know what it is supposed to achieve.

Value taxonomy: banked cash, avoided cost, released capacity, working capital, revenue, risk, compliance. Capacity released is not reported as a payroll saving.
FAQ
Questions
How long does this take?
Diagnostic two to four weeks. Proof of Value fifteen to thirty days. Production six to twelve weeks, or ten to twenty for multi-system or regulated work.
What if the best answer is not AI?
A failed proof saves you from scaling the wrong thing. The Diagnostic may recommend not using AI.
Can we enter at proof of value?
A successful proof earns the right to production. The measurement ruler is frozen before day one of the proof.
