The library is designed to answer five questions: what starts the engagement, how long the initial shape usually takes, what is delivered, what the client must provide, and which decisions are available at the end.
Scope before price
Pricing follows the decision, evidence, architecture, access, and operating responsibilities rather than a generic day rate presented as certainty.
Exit points are part of the offer
Proceed, revise, return, choose another implementation team, use a simpler path, or stop remain legitimate outcomes.
Artifacts should be inspectable
Representative methods and record structures are visible before a prospective client is asked to trust them.
Offering
Advisory
Reach a documented platform or investment decision through disclosed criteria and evidence.
Included outputs
- Decision frame, use cases, constraints, and approval criteria
- Weighted capability matrix and evidence ledger
- Shortlist with inclusion and exclusion reasoning
- Architecture, security, governance, TCO, and build-versus-buy analysis
- Recommendation, assumptions, dissenting considerations, and roadmap
What the client provides
- An accountable decision owner and stakeholder access
- Current architecture, contracts, policies, and operating constraints
- Access to relevant product, security, legal, procurement, data, and delivery representatives
Decision and exit points
- Proceed with a selected option
- Run a focused pilot
- Build or configure a different path
- Revise the criteria or scope
- Stop because the evidence does not justify the commitment
Primary cost factors
- Number of options
- Evidence access
- Pilot depth
- Architecture and contract complexity
Offering
Conductor
Define a governed model-access path before fragmented access becomes embedded infrastructure.
Included outputs
- Model-access and use-case inventory
- Identity, data, security, privacy, retention, audit, and cost requirements
- Client-adapted reference architecture
- Build, buy, and split-path evaluation
- Pilot scope, decision gates, and written recommendation
What the client provides
- An accountable sponsor and one approved pilot team where relevant
- Identity, architecture, provider, contract, usage, and policy information
- Security, privacy, procurement, engineering, and operations access
Decision and exit points
- Configure a selected gateway product
- Build a tailored capability
- Proceed to a constrained pilot
- Revise the architecture or operating model
- Stop when the operating responsibility exceeds the value
Primary cost factors
- Provider count
- Control depth
- Deployment boundary
- Pilot integrations and operating support
Offering
AI-Native Delivery
Build a production capability around an outcome, written gates, and deployed verification.
Included outputs
- Outcome contract and delivery architecture
- Working capability with resolved version and environment records
- Behavioral, data, security, integration, and operating gates
- Release evidence, exceptions, and deployed verification
- Monitoring, support, cost, change, and rollback responsibilities
What the client provides
- A product owner, intended users, and a target environment
- Data, identity, integration, policy, and operational access
- Reviewers able to accept evidence and make release decisions
Decision and exit points
- Release the bounded capability
- Continue with the next slice
- Revise the architecture or controls
- Return to discovery
- Stop when the outcome cannot be observed or owned
Primary cost factors
- Use-case breadth
- Data and integration work
- Control requirements
- Evaluation and support depth
Offering
Knowledge Graphs + Enterprise Context
Model one connected domain so applications and agents can resolve meaning, policy, lineage, and context.
Included outputs
- Domain boundary, source register, entity model, and relation contracts
- Identity resolution, evidence, confidence, and temporal rules
- Context-service and consumer-view design
- Governance, stewardship, quality, change, and exception record
- Working slice and implementation recommendation where justified
What the client provides
- Domain experts, source owners, data access, and an accountable consumer
- Policy, terminology, lineage, identity, and stewardship constraints
- Architecture and operating representatives for the selected platform path
Decision and exit points
- Implement the bounded model
- Revise domain or source assumptions
- Select a different platform pattern
- Continue with another use case
- Use a simpler architecture or stop
Primary cost factors
- Source count
- Identity ambiguity
- Ontology depth
- Integration, stewardship, and operating scope
What affects cost
Cost follows uncertainty, access, integration, evidence, and operating responsibility.
Two engagements with the same headline can require materially different work. The estimate is shaped after the initial decision or delivery boundary is understood, rather than implying precision before the constraints are visible.
Decision scope
Number of use cases, options, stakeholders, and decisions that must be resolved.
Evidence access
Availability and quality of architecture, contracts, policies, data, users, and primary records.
Technical boundary
Identity, data, integrations, environments, providers, platforms, and migration dependencies.
Control depth
Security, privacy, legal, audit, retention, compliance, and exception requirements.
Operating responsibility
Monitoring, support, cost attribution, change, stewardship, and rollback ownership.
Verification depth
Evaluation design, pilot breadth, user observation, deployed checks, and review cadence.
Inspectable artifacts
Review representative work products before the engagement.
Platform Evaluation Sample
A weighted capability matrix, evidence ledger, assumptions register, and decision record.
