Your pilot worked. Six months on, it still has not shipped.
We take one process, build the agent, break it, secure it, and hand it over running in production — with the evidence your security team needs to approve it.
Fixed scope. You own everything. AWS may co-fund it.
It was never the model
The demo impressed everyone. Then came the security review, the cost projection nobody believed, and the question of who owns it. Four things kill enterprise AI between demo and production.
Security approval
Nobody can show the reviewers what the agent can touch, or prove what it cannot.
Cost ceiling
The projection nobody believed. We scope one narrow process and measure what it actually costs to run.
Monitoring
Most agents that reach production run unwatched. Ours ship with monitoring and alerting on day one.
Accountability
When it misbehaves, who owns it? Every handover names an owner and includes a runbook.
Build it. Break it. Secure it. Run it.
Four moves, in that order. The third one is why the first two survive.
One process, scoped narrow, on a production path from day one. Not a prototype we promise to harden later.
We attack the agent before anyone else does — prompt injection, permission escalation, data exfiltration, purpose bypass. Your team watches.
Its own identity, least-privilege scope, guardrails, audit trail, monitoring. Then we attack it again.
You built nothing you now have to staff. We operate it, or we hand you the runbook. Both are fine.
Six weeks, week by week
The shape of a first engagement. Integration complexity moves the effort, not the order.
What you walk away with
Not a deck. Not a prototype. A working system and the proof that it behaves.
One process in production
Automated, integrated with your real systems, and measured — a before-and-after number, not an estimate.
Adversarial test report
What we broke, how, and how it is now prevented. Your security team sees the attack and the fix.
Security evidence pack
Permissions, guardrails, audit trail, monitoring — packaged for your approval process.
A named owner and a runbook
You built nothing you now have to staff. We operate it, or you take the runbook in-house.
The engagement, itemised
No modules, no tiers, no add-ons discovered later. This is the whole thing.
AWS may fund part of this. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner we can apply for proof-of-concept funding on qualifying projects. We tell you in the first call whether your project is likely to qualify. Funding is at AWS's discretion and is never guaranteed.
Payable through AWS Marketplace against committed cloud spend you have already contracted.
How we take the risk out
Every one of these sits in the agreement, not in the sales pitch.
Fixed scope, in writing
One process, named deliverables, one fee. No variation without a written scope change you sign.
You own everything
The agent runs in your AWS account. System, runbook and evidence pack are yours from day one.
AWS may co-fund it
Proof-of-concept funding on qualifying projects, applied for by us. At AWS's discretion, never guaranteed — we tell you on the first call.
We didn't read about this. We shipped it.
tMinus1 built Automatum — multi-tenant SaaS, metered billing, marketplace integrations across AWS, Azure and GCP. 80+ software companies run their marketplace revenue through it, with $120M+ transacted. We still operate it.
Because scope is what kills these projects. One process gives us a real number, a contained blast radius, and a security review that can actually finish. Once the first one runs, the second is faster.
That is the point of the sequence. Week 4 is adversarial testing against the live agent, week 5 is hardening, and the handover includes an evidence pack — test results, permissions, audit logging, monitoring — built for your approval process.
Whichever one the process needs, and we will argue for the boring choice. Model selection matters far less than scope, permissions and monitoring, which is where these projects actually fail.
That is the point of week 4 — we attack the agent in a controlled window, against agreed targets, with your team watching. Better us in week 4 than someone else in month 6.
The system is yours, running in your AWS account. Some clients keep us on a monthly engineering and operations retainer so they do not staff for it. Others take the runbook in-house. Both are fine, and we will tell you which we think fits.
It may. We apply for proof-of-concept funding on qualifying projects and tell you in the first call whether yours is likely to qualify. Funding is at AWS's discretion and is never guaranteed.
One process, live and secured.
We will tell you in the first call what we would build first, and whether AWS funding may apply.
