How Long Does It Actually Take?

Everyone asks how long it takes, and most vendors dodge with 'it depends.' It does depend — but not as much as you'd think. Here are the timelines we hold ourselves to.

Week 1: scope and first connection

By the end of the first week we've agreed on the problem worth solving and connected to the one data source that answers it. No six-month discovery phase. The point is to feel progress fast.

Weeks 2–4: a working prototype

Inside a month you have an agent answering real questions against your real data, tested on cases your team brings. It won't be perfect yet — but it'll be undeniably useful, and that's what earns the room to keep going.

Weeks 5–12: hardening and handoff

• Add guardrails, permissions, and an audit trail so it's safe to trust.
• Tune on the edge cases that only show up once people use it daily.
• Train your team and document everything, so you're never dependent on us to keep it running.

The honest caveat: messy or scattered data can add a week or two up front. We'd rather tell you that on day one than surprise you in month two.
