Frequently asked questions

We're not a tech company. Is this for us?

It's built for you. Our clients run plants, fleets, and warehouses — not software teams. Every deliverable is written in plain business language, and the first stages of the method are about your operation, not about technology.

What if the diagnosis says AI won't pay for us?

Then that's what the Brief will say, and you'll have spent $2,000 to avoid spending $500,000. The method's first job is deciding whether to build — not selling a build.

We already have a prototype. Do we start over?

Almost never entirely. The Vibe-to-Production Protocol ($4,500, two weeks) maps your existing work into three levels: what's kept, what's adapted, what's rebuilt. You'll know exactly what your prototype is worth before committing another dollar.

Will this replace our workers?

No — and structurally, not just rhetorically. We work first in sectors where the constraint is too few workers. Deployments are designed to make your existing people more productive, and the Activate stage contractually transfers the capability to your own team.

What happens when you leave?

You keep everything: a team trained to run the system autonomously (verified over two weeks before we sign off), a living knowledge vault any future developer can use, and — if you want it — the Lock layer watching for drift. We build for your ownership, not our dependency.

Why should we trust a small firm with this?

Because small is the design, not the constraint. Two build clients at a time means the people who diagnosed your business write your code. And the method exists precisely so it doesn't depend on trust in individuals: every stage emits a signed, auditable artifact.

How fast do we see something real?

The Product Clarity Brief in the first session. The full opportunity map and measured baseline within two weeks of starting Level 1. In a build, a working increment and a recorded demo every two weeks — from the first cycle.

Do you work on-site?

Yes. Scan and Ground are done in person where the work is — walking the plant, sitting with dispatch, measuring the baseline where it lives. This method starts on the floor, not on a video call.
