Work with a team that
earns its fee.
A dedicated Development Advocate. A 7-day free proof-of-concept. Milestone-based billing with a money-back guarantee. You only pay when you're genuinely happy with progress.
How We Operate
Six clear stages. No surprises, no black boxes. Every step is auditable and every decision is yours.
Discovery Call
— Day 1A 30-minute call to understand your product, your users, your data, and the outcomes you're chasing. No fluff, no slideware.
Thorough Analysis
— Day 1–3We map your systems, identify integration points, surface risks, and produce a shortlist of candidate AI solutions with effort estimates.
Meet Your Development Advocate
— Day 3A senior, hands-on developer is assigned to your engagement. They're your single point of contact — technical, commercial, and strategic.
7-Day Free POC
— Day 4–10We build a working proof-of-concept for approval — at zero cost. Real software, not a prototype. If you're not convinced, you walk away owing nothing.
Agile Milestones
— WeeklyShort sprints, visible tickets, weekly demos. Each milestone has clear acceptance criteria agreed upfront — and each milestone is a payable unit.
Ship, Measure, Iterate
— OngoingWe deploy to production, track real usage, and improve what matters. Your Development Advocate stays embedded as long as you need them.
One senior developer. Dedicated to you.
Not an account manager. Not a project manager. A hands-on senior engineer who writes the code, owns the architecture, and answers to you directly. They're backed by the wider SentientOne team, but they're YOUR point of contact for everything.
Responsibilities
Phase-by-phase role
Transparent Commercial Model — Pay Only When You're Happy
We aligned our pricing with your outcomes. No lock-ins, no surprises, and a free proof-of-concept to prove we can deliver before a single dollar changes hands.
Milestone-based billing
Every milestone has a fixed price and acceptance criteria. Approve the milestone, pay the milestone — nothing else.
7-day POC is free
We invest our own time to prove we can solve your problem. If the POC doesn't meet your expectations, you pay nothing.
Money-back guarantee
If an approved milestone falls short in production within the warranty window, we refund it. Simple as that.
Month-to-month, always
No 12-month lock-ins. Continue when you see value, pause when you don't. Your Advocate is yours for as long as you want them.
How a typical engagement flows
Every milestone is a payable unit with clear acceptance criteria.
Don't take our word for it. Make us prove it.
In seven days, we'll build you a working proof-of-concept for approval. Real code, real integrations, real output — at our cost. Only buy in if you're genuinely happy with our approach and progress.
