No. You can start wherever makes sense for you. Many clients choose a Free Consultation or an AI Enhancement Audit first - that way, we can confirm that AI will genuinely add value to your process before moving forward.

If you start a Build Sprint within 60 days, the full cost of the audit is credited towards your project. And if we don’t uncover meaningful opportunities to add value to your business, we’ll refund you in full - so you either gain a clear path forward or your money back.

A Build Sprint is a focused 2-4 week push where we take an idea and turn it into a live, shippable feature in your environment. It won't deliver a whole product in one go - but you'll finish a vertical slice that is real, usable and a compelling start to your journey.

If you don't already have an app, the sprint serves as a proof of principle - a foundation that can be extended into a full product over time.

A typical Build Sprint looks like this:

• Kickoff. We get to understand your product and how AI can enhance it (if this wasn't already covered in the AI Enhancement Audit). Then we would align the goals and scope of the Build Sprint so we're building what you need from the start.
• Design. We will plan out how your feature will be implemented - defining user journeys and creating mockups, and showing how it integrates with your existing app (or how it would be architected from scratch).
• Build. We bring the feature to life, with regular check-ins and progress updates.
• Test & refine. We put the feature through its paces with real data, addressing early issues and making small adjustments based on feedback. Larger course corrections become the focus of future Build Sprint(s).
• Handover. We finish by giving you everything we've created - repository access, cloud resources, light documentation, and a roadmap for what's next.

Most Build Sprints take 2-4 weeks, but the exact timeline depends on a few things:

• Scope. A small, focused feature is quicker to deliver than a large or more complex one.
• Preparation. If we've already done design work during an AI Enhancement Audit, we can move faster.
• Starting point. Building on top of an existing app is usually quicker than starting from scratch.
• Integration. The smoother our Gibbonix Technology fits into your stack, the less time is needed for setup.

The price of a Build Sprint is fixed up front, so you don't need to worry about surprise costs if it takes a little longer. If we discover along the way that the scope has grown significantly - or that a major change of direction is needed - that simply becomes the focus of a future sprint. Either way, you'll always come out of a sprint with a working, usable feature in hand.

The Build Sprint is designed to give you an exciting first feature - but it's really just the beginning. From there, we can continue enhancing your app, with AI or without, by adding new capabilities through more Build Sprints or by moving to a regular development rhythm. Our goal is to be your long-term partner, helping bring your vision to life step by step.

We keep sprints timeboxed so you always know the cost and timeline upfront. If new ideas or requirements come up during the sprint, we'll park them and roll them into a follow-on sprint or agree on a priced add-on. That way, there are no surprise overages, and you stay in control of priorities.

For both the AI Enhancement Audit and each Build Sprint, payment is split 50% up front - 50% on completion.

Absolutely - we won't leave you stranded. Every Build Sprint includes a 30-day bug-fix window to make sure the features we delivered work smoothly in your live environment.

If you'd like to add enhancements or new functionality after that, we can keep building together through follow-on Build Sprints or a retainer.

Anything we build that's unique to your business belongs to you - you'll own the custom code and full rights to use it however you like.

Alongside that, we're developing our own Gibbonix Technology (including APIs, SDKs and reusable components), which helps us deliver projects faster and more reliably. We retain ownership of this core technology, but you'll have a perpetual and royalty-free license to use it as part of your project.

That way, you get full control of your bespoke solution while benefiting from the speed, security and stability of the Gibbonix platform.

Our prices cover all of our development work. Some running costs are managed separately - such as cloud usage (model tokens, vector databases, storage), any third-party SaaS tools you choose to integrate, and your own infrastructure costs.

The good news is that these stay fully under your control. We'll help you estimate, monitor, and cap them so you know exactly what to expect.
