Before you hire another FDE,give us one difficult deployment.
Pick the customer that’s been stuck the longest. We take it to production for a fixed price agreed before we start — and if it doesn’t reach production, you don’t pay.
For AI product companies. If you’re an operator who needs the system built, start here instead.
What’s included
Everything between “they signed” and “they use it.”
Discovery inside the operation
Time with the people who do the work, at their desk, at the speed it really runs. Half of what a requirements document says is the version somebody wished were true.
The integration
Their data, their auth, their systems, their edge cases. This is where most of the real cost hides and where most timelines die.
The line, in writing
What is allowed to be probabilistic and what has to be deterministic, agreed before anything is built. Money, pricing and permissions never sit on the model’s side of it.
An evaluation harness
Running on their data, not a benchmark. You find out it is wrong before the customer does.
Observability and rollback
What it did, when, and whether it was right — plus a way back. Both exist before go-live, not after the first incident.
An adoption readout
Whether anybody is actually using it, in numbers. A deployment nobody opens is not a deployment, and you should hear that from us first.
Written handover
Documented decisions and conventional architecture, so your engineers own it rather than inherit it.
We work under your name. The contract, the account and the renewal never move.
The guarantee
It reaches production, or you don’t pay.
Not a partial refund, not a credit against future work. If the deployment is not running in your customer’s production environment, there is no invoice.
All of the delivery risk
- The discovery being harder than anyone said
- The integration nobody documented
- The edge cases that surface in week three
- The rework when the first design turns out wrong
The one thing we can’t engineer around
- Access to the customer’s environment
- One person on your side who can answer questions
- An introduction to the customer
That is the entire ask. If the customer cannot give access, nothing can be built by anyone — and we will say so early rather than bill you while we wait.
Why this moves faster than a hire
We don’t start at an empty repository.
Deployment eight is cheaper than deployment one because of what one through seven taught. You are buying that, not hours.
The architecture in full · where this pattern has gone for other companies
Who is accountable
I’m Imtiaz Hasan, founder of Quantum AI Solutions LLC in Irving, Texas. The person who sits with your customer is the person you talk to on the first call — there is no account manager between us, and the senior name on the engagement is not a different person from the one writing the code.
The numbers above are my own systems. I build them, put them into production, and then keep operating them, which is where you find out which clever ideas were actually clever. I write up what that teaches in field notes and on YouTube, and I’m easiest to reach on LinkedIn.
If it goes well
Four ways it continues. None of them automatic.
The sprint ends whether or not anything follows it. If you want more, these exist.
Embedded
Work alongside your product and engineering teams for a defined period, on your deployments, inside your process.
Capacity
Take several implementations at once when customer growth has outrun what your team can absorb.
New vertical
Enter an unfamiliar industry with the customer and turn the first implementation into a repeatable pattern.
Infrastructure
Turn the implementations you have already done into connectors, evals, tooling and observability your own team reuses.
Four exists so that you need less of one, two and three. The goal is leverage, not dependency.
Being honest about it
Don’t take this offer if…
Your deployment load is steady
Permanent, predictable and central to how you sell? Hire. Build the team, write the playbook, keep it inside. We will say so on the first call.
You want a bench of engineers
This is one senior owner accountable end to end, with capacity expanding underneath. If you want bodies at a rate, we are the expensive option.
You need it to be a demo
Production is the whole guarantee. If what you actually need is something impressive for a board meeting next week, that is a different job.
One senior owner means one deployment sprint at a time. That is a real constraint, not a scarcity tactic — ask on the call what the next slot is.
Straight answers
What people ask before booking
What does it cost?
Fixed price for the sprint, agreed before anything starts, and you only pay it if the deployment reaches production. We will give you the number on the call once we know which customer it is - it is one number, not a rate card, and it does not move because the work turned out harder than expected.
What if it doesn't reach production?
You do not pay. That is the whole guarantee and there is no version of it where you owe us money for a deployment that did not land.
What do you need from us?
Access to the customer's environment, one person on your side who can answer questions, and an introduction to the customer. That is the list. If you have documentation we will read it, and if you do not, that is normal and it is part of the job.
Who owns the customer relationship?
You do. The contract, the account and the renewal are yours. We work under your name inside your customer's environment and we are not building a client list out of your customers.
Who owns what gets built?
You and your customer, per your agreement with them. What we carry between engagements is the reusable half - deployment patterns, evaluation harnesses, observability, connector shapes - never customer data, customer IP, or anything proprietary to your platform.
Should we just hire instead?
If deployment load is permanent, predictable and central to how you sell, yes. Hire, build the team, keep the knowledge inside. We will tell you that on the first call rather than the third invoice. This is for the gap: the req that has not closed, the vertical you are still testing, and the quarter where three customers signed at once.
Name the customer that’s stuck.
Thirty minutes. You describe one deployment, we tell you whether we can land it, what it costs, and by when. If the honest answer is that you should hire instead, that’s what you’ll hear.
