For founders and AI labs
Two free offers, two ways to start
Booking December projects now. AI labs: send one task and get a written review in 48 hours, then a ten-task pilot. Founders: send your product and get a one-page teardown, then a fixed-price sprint. Both start free and both are explained here step by step.

In short
- AI labs: a free written review of one task, rubric or test suite within 48 hours, then an optional ten-task paid pilot on your rubric.
- Founders: a free one-page teardown of your product or idea, then an optional fixed-price design sprint ($2,000) or MVP sprint ($3,000).
- Neither free step needs a call, and you can stop after either.
Three weeks of posts have covered how I work. This one is the short, practical version: exactly how to start, for each kind of reader, with nothing left to guess. December projects are being booked now.
If you run an AI lab or data team
- 1.Send one task, rubric or test suite. Under NDA, or a sanitised sample if you would rather. Email or the booking form, no call required.
- 2.Within 48 hours, a written review. Where an agent could shortcut it, where the spec is ambiguous, what the tests miss, what to change. Yours to keep whether or not we go further.
- 3.Then, if useful, a pilot. Ten tasks on your rubric in one week, graded by you, with a written report. Priced by complexity, agreed in writing first.
- 4.Then your decision. Scale with the same review gates, or stop. No retainer, no lock-in.
If you are a founder or product team
- 1.Send your product, prototype or one-page idea. A link, a deck, a paragraph. Whatever shape it is in.
- 2.Within a few days, a one-page teardown. What to fix, what to cut, what I would build first, with a scope and a fixed price at the bottom.
- 3.Then, if useful, a sprint. $2,000 for a design sprint (clickable prototype plus a scope any developer can quote from) or $3,000 for an MVP sprint (one flow designed, built and deployed). Scope in writing, weekly updates.
- 4.Then your decision. Keep the product in-house, take flex support by the hour, or run a second sprint. All three are fine.

| Paid step | Ten-task pilot, one week, your rubric | $2,000 design or $3,000 MVP sprint |
| Then | Managed delivery, weekly report | Flex support or in-house |
| Can stop after | Any step | Any step |
What to include when you write
For a task review: the task as your authors see it, the tests, the reference solution if there is one, and your rubric or guideline. For a teardown: the link or files, who the product is for in one sentence, and the one thing you are unsure about. That last item is usually where the teardown starts.
Questions people ask
- How do I start working with you as an AI lab?
- Send one task, rubric or test suite under NDA. You get a written review within 48 hours, free. If it is useful, the next step is a ten-task pilot on your rubric.
- How do I start working with you as a founder?
- Send your product, prototype or idea in any form. You get a one-page teardown within a few days, free, ending with a scope and a fixed price for a sprint if you want one.
- Do I need to book a call first?
- No. Both free steps work by email or the booking form. A call is available if you prefer, but the written review or teardown is the real first step.
If you're a founder
Send the thing you are working on today. December is a good month to build: fewer meetings, faster replies, and a product live before January.
If you run an AI lab or data team
The 48-hour review is the fastest way to see the standard. Send one task and judge the feedback before thinking about a pilot.
