We've worked with enough operators to know the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped, wherever the business sits. The first thing we do on any project in New Zealand is understand the real workflow before we propose anything.

Questions
FAQ
When does AI actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a business in New Zealand – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. New Zealand sits at 3.6× on the AI Usage Index, meaning 3.6× more AI use than its population alone would predict (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026).
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Computer & Mathematical, Arts, Design & Media, Education & Library, Office & Administrative, Community & Social Service, Sales & Related but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
