Pilot · Step 2

One agent. One domain. Thirty days.

A focused deployment of a single sovereign agent over one document domain — SOPs, quality records, or knowledge retrieval — running entirely on hardware you own, inside your network. Scoped from your assessment, measured against an agreed baseline.

Why A Pilot, Not A Project

Prove it on one thing before you scale it across everything.

A pilot is small on purpose. It puts a working agent in front of real users, on real infrastructure, with success defined before day one — so the decision to go further is made on evidence, not a demo.

The all-at-once build

  • Months of work before anyone sees output
  • Scope creeps across teams that weren't ready
  • Success is argued about after the invoice
  • IT meets the architecture once it's already live
  • If it stalls, there's nothing to fall back on

The 30-day pilot

  • A working agent in front of users in weeks
  • One domain, one clear set of success metrics
  • Metrics agreed up front, measured at the end
  • IT reviews the architecture document first
  • A clean go / no-go, with the data to back it
What's Included

Everything to run one agent, end to end.

1

Architecture Document

Will your IT team sign off?

Before any build, your IT and security teams get a written architecture: where the agent runs, what it can touch, how data flows, and how every action is logged.

IT reviews and approves before deployment — not after.

2

One Deployed Agent

What actually ships?

A single production-grade sovereign agent over one document domain, running on your hardware with access controls and human-in-the-loop checkpoints in place.

No client production data leaves the building at any point.

3

Measured Results

Did it work?

Performance measured against the baseline captured in your assessment — hours returned, error rate, cycle time, and adoption — in a short, plain report.

A clear go / no-go on whether to operate it for the long run.

How It Runs

Thirty days, four moving parts.

Week 1 · Design

Architecture & sign-off

  • Confirm the domain and success metrics
  • Write the architecture and data-flow document
  • IT and security review and approval
  • Stand up the environment on your hardware
Weeks 2–3 · Build

Deploy & tune

  • Configure the agent and its tools
  • Wire in escalation and audit logging
  • Test against real scenarios with your team
  • Tune behavior to your workflow
Week 4 · Measure

Results & decision

  • Run against the agreed baseline
  • Short results report, no invented ROI
  • Staff orientation and handover notes
  • Honest go / no-go recommendation
Investment

A published service tier, scoped to your domain.

The pilot is a fixed engagement in the range below. Most organizations start with the assessment — it sets the baseline the pilot is measured against and confirms a pilot is worth running.

A pilot you can walk away from is the only kind worth running.

If the results don't hold up, that's a finding, not a failure — and you keep the architecture, the measurements, and the lessons either way. We'd rather earn the long-term engagement than lock you into one. No ROI guarantees, no invented case studies, no demo with your real data.

Plain Answers

Questions before a pilot

Do we need the assessment first?
Not strictly, but it's strongly recommended. The assessment sets the baseline a pilot is measured against and confirms the domain is worth automating. Without it, we'll spend the first part of the pilot establishing that baseline anyway.
What runs where?
The agent runs on hardware you own, inside your network, using open-weight models. No client production data is sent to a vendor's cloud. Your IT team approves the architecture before anything is deployed.
What happens after the 30 days?
You get a results report and an honest go / no-go. If it proves out, Managed Operations keeps it running. If it doesn't, you keep everything we built and the findings — there's no obligation to continue.
Can the pilot cover more than one workflow?
By design it's one agent over one domain, so the result is unambiguous. Multi-agent workflows are a separate, larger engagement we scope once a pilot has proven the approach in your environment.
