Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for City and Regional Planning Aides?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real city and regional planning aides team?
Yes. 0.12% of all Claude.ai conversations map to this kind of work (Anthropic Economic Index, March 2026) We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI stack we reach for is Summarise literature with citations, Clean and explore datasets, Draft methods and reports, Answer questions over your documents, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
