AI evaluation & optimization

AI workflow evaluation. Know what to change.

Too many corrections, slow responses, or rising costs? We measure one existing workflow and test one candidate change before you invest in implementation.

From $2,500 USDOne-time project. Software and usage billed separately.

30 minutes with the co-founders. Check fit, tools and the next scoping step.

Is this the right
first project?

A model, prompt, source, or tool change can improve one case and break another. Evaluation needs representative tasks, known failures, and scoring rules the workflow owner accepts. Record correctness, permission behavior, latency, review effort, and cost where they matter to the decision, then test whether a candidate improves the whole workflow.

A good fit when…

  • An existing AI feature needs too many corrections, retries, or manual checks.

  • Requests feel slow or expensive, but you do not yet know which part of the workflow causes it.

  • You are considering a model, prompt, or retrieval change and need a fair comparison before rollout.

Your first project, priced.

One-workflow AI evaluation

From $2,500 USD

One-time project. Final scope and price agreed in writing.

Find why an existing AI workflow needs too much correction, takes too long, or costs more than expected.

30 minutes with the co-founders to check fit, tools and the next scoping step. No obligation to proceed.

Included in the starter scope

  • Assessment of one existing AI workflow and one improvement decision.
  • An agreed set of representative tasks, known failures, and scoring rules.
  • A baseline covering the quality, time, and cost measures available for those tasks.
  • One controlled candidate comparison using the same test set.
  • A findings report with recommended changes, trade-offs, and rollout checks.
Quoted separately
Production implementation, a full system rebuild, and additional workflows or candidate comparisons are quoted separately.
A larger project
Quoted after scoping — Implement selected improvements, evaluate more candidates, or establish ongoing regression checks. This is an alternative scope, not an add-on to the starter price.
Optional ongoing support
Optional recurring evaluations are scoped around agreed changes and test sets; no retainer is required for the assessment.
Timing
We confirm timing after checking whether the current workflow can be reproduced and who can judge the results.

All prices are in USD. Third-party software, API usage, hosting and any telephony charges are separate. Support is optional; its coverage and limits are agreed separately. New workflows need a new scope.

Tangible work

What you take away.

A controlled experiment bench places identical sample cards under two comparison frames; a baseline notebook, a small elapsed-time dial and a visible regression card support a reversible adjustment knob. Measurement before optimization.
01

A measured baseline

The current workflow's quality, time, and cost on an agreed test set, with gaps in the available evidence stated.

02

One candidate comparison

One controlled change tested on the same cases, including regressions and uncertain results.

03

A written recommendation

A change-or-keep decision, trade-offs, and rollout checks. Production implementation is a separate scope.

Let’s check the fit.

Bring one task and your current tools. We’ll discuss the first step in a free 30-minute call.

Then consider what comes next.

  1. 01 / The starting point

    An existing assistant produces answers that need repeated corrections.

  2. 02 / The right context

    Measure current results on an agreed set of ordinary and difficult tasks.

  3. 03 / Prepared for review

    Test one candidate change against the same cases and scoring rules.

  4. 04 / A person decides

    Compare the evidence and recommend a change, more investigation, or keeping the current setup.

From first conversation to handoff

A clear start.
An agreed finish.

  1. 01

    Define the decision

    Choose one workflow, one improvement question, representative tasks, and scoring rules with the output owner.

  2. 02

    Measure and compare

    Reproduce the baseline and test one candidate change without changing the task set or scoring rules.

  3. 03

    Review the evidence

    Document trade-offs and limits. Agree what should be monitored if a separately scoped implementation proceeds.

Agree the scope

and the limits.

Production changes require separate authorization; an evaluation can end with a recommendation to keep the existing approach.

Security and data questions ↗
A few useful answers

Before we begin.

How much does a first project cost?

One-workflow AI evaluation starts at $2,500 USD for the starter scope shown on this page. We confirm access, scope, exclusions, timing and a written price before work begins. Third-party software and usage charges are separate; ongoing support is optional.

What happens on the free scoping call?

In 30 minutes, we discuss one task, your current tools and the result you need. We check whether the starter fits and what is needed for a written proposal. If paid discovery is needed, we explain its scope and price first. You do not need a prepared brief or a paid assessment to book the call.

How will we judge whether the project is useful?

We agree a baseline and acceptance checks with the person who owns the work. A reproducible baseline and candidate comparison support a change-or-keep recommendation, with limitations stated. Where relevant, we also compare manual effort, correction work and operating costs. These checks guide the handoff; they are not a promise of revenue or savings.

What does an AI evaluation engagement deliver?

A scoped evaluation can produce a baseline, a representative test set, controlled comparisons, and a prioritized recommendation. Record failures as well as aggregate results. The recommendation should identify the evidence, sampling limits, expected trade-offs, and checks needed before any production change.

What makes a useful first optimization scope?

Choose one workflow and one decision, such as whether a model or retrieval change improves it. Define acceptable outputs with the people using them. Include ordinary tasks and known failures, then run the baseline and candidate on the same cases using consistent scoring.

What determines the cost of an AI evaluation?

Cost depends on the number of workflows and candidates, test-set preparation, access to usage information, and the amount of human review. Model calls and repeated runs can add evaluation expense. Agree the decision the evaluation must support before expanding the experiment.

How long does an optimization review take?

Timing depends on whether a useful test set exists, how easily the current workflow can be reproduced, and who can judge output quality. Missing traces or disputed success criteria add preparation work. The plan should separate baseline preparation, comparison runs, and review of the results.

Can you evaluate AI without production access?

Sanitized examples, exported usage records, and a reproducible test environment may support an initial review. State what that evidence excludes, such as unusual live traffic or permission behavior. Production access and any production changes should be considered separately with explicit authorization.

How do we keep improvements after a model change?

Keep the evaluation set, scoring rules, baseline, and known failures under an identified owner. Repeat relevant checks when models, prompts, sources, or tools change. Any rollout needs monitoring and a way to reverse the change if live behavior differs from the test results.

Let’s make it concrete

Bring one task.
Let’s scope the result.

Bring one existing workflow, a few failed examples, and the quality, speed, or cost problem you want to solve. The initial call is free; assessment and implementation are scoped separately.
