Timeline
How the Engagement Runs
Month 1
Architecture and program design. Every track planned. Every integration mapped. Compliance requirements documented across all workstreams.
Month 2
Foundations and compliance infrastructure. Data models, compliance frameworks, and testing scaffolding across all tracks before business logic begins.
Months 3-6
Parallel build tracks running simultaneously. ALICE enforces compliance across every engineer on every track at every commit.
Month 7-8
Integration and compliance verification. All tracks merge. Cross-system testing, performance validation, compliance audit across the full platform.
Month 9
Production deployment and complete documentation. The full platform goes live. Audit documentation packages ready for every applicable framework.

Context
How It Compares
A Tier II engagement from The Algorithm delivers what a Big 4 firm calls a 'digital transformation' — except we finish it. Most Big 4 transformations run 18-36 months and deliver a roadmap, not a system. Our Tier II programs deliver production-ready platforms in 3-9 months, at a fraction of the cost-plus billing model.
The Incumbents
✕Cost-plus billing — the longer it takes, the more they earn
✕Discovery phases that consume budget before a line of code is written
✕Rotating consultants who leave when the project gets hard
✕Compliance as a separate engagement after the system is built
✕Managed services contract as the exit from the project
The Algorithm
✓Fixed price — the scope is agreed before we start
✓Architecture review in week one, build starts in week two
✓The same senior engineers from day one to handoff
✓Compliance-native from the first line of code — ALICE enforces it at every commit
✓Full IP transfer on delivery — you own everything we build
DECISION GUIDE
Build vs. Outsource Decision Framework
A structured scoring framework for deciding whether to build in-house, outsource, or adopt a hybrid model — with sections specific to regulated industries where the cost of the wrong decision is highest.
