Timeline

How the Engagement Runs

Month 1-2
Full program architecture and compliance mapping across all jurisdictions. Every workstream designed. Every regulatory requirement documented. The build plan is the entire engagement.
Month 3-6
Parallel build program — all workstreams active simultaneously. Engineering force at full capacity. ALICE enforces compliance across every engineer at every commit.
Month 7-12
Integration, compliance verification, and progressive deployment. Workstreams integrate and go live in sequence. Compliance certification begins as each system reaches production readiness.
Month 13-18
Final certification, documentation, knowledge transfer, and complete delivery. The full infrastructure is live. Your teams can run it. You own everything.

Context

How It Compares

A Tier III engagement replaces what government agencies and regulated industries have historically paid Big 4 firms and major system integrators $50M-$200M to deliver — and failed. We operate at the same scale with outcome-based pricing, fixed deliverables, and a team structure designed to ship rather than bill.

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.
