Engagement pattern

Three phases. No surprises. Clean exit at every gate.

Every RadiantCore engagement runs the same shape — the same Phase 0 → 1 → 2 → 3 cadence whether we're deploying the Radiant Core assistant, configuring the platform for a vertical workflow, or building something net-new with a partner.

  1. Phase 0 · Kickoff
    A 30-minute conversation, then a scope document.

    We start with a conversation about what your team currently does — how an estimator finds bids, how a pilot prepares a flight, how a knowledge worker keeps track of decisions. From that, we draft a scope document that names the configuration and the deliverables. You review it. We adjust. Once it's right, we send the engagement letter for an attorney's review on each side.

    Output: a scope document and an engagement letter, both written plainly, both reviewed by your counsel before signature.
  2. Phase 1 · Free prototype · Week 1
    A working demonstration against your real data — at no cost.

    We configure the platform against three of your highest-priority data sources, build a first profile from the kickoff conversation, and run it against your real workflow for a week. Friday afternoon, we walk through what the tool actually surfaced — the real bids it would have flagged, the real meeting it would have summarized, the real procedure it would have briefed. You see the value before you commit.

    Output: a live prototype demo with real-data results. No charge. Either side can walk.
  3. Phase 2 · Beta · Weeks 2–7
    Full configured deployment, milestone-paid.

    Every source brought online. Every territory profiled. Dashboard, daily digest, tuning interface. Polish, error handling, monitoring, runbooks, and operational handover. Thirty days of post-launch support included. Fixed-fee, paid in milestones tied to acceptance — signing, prototype acceptance, beta midpoint, beta acceptance.

    Output: your business running on a configured deployment, daily.
  4. Phase 3 · Operations · Forever after
    We host, monitor, maintain, and improve.

    Source adapters break when portals change; we fix them. Models get better; we upgrade. New features ship for everyone. Pricing is operating cost plus a reasonable margin, set after the beta data tells us what your deployment actually takes to run. You can leave at any time with your data; we'd rather earn your renewal every year.

    Output: a tool that keeps working, by people who actually built it.

What we will not do.

We won't sell you hours.

Our deliverable is working software, not a timesheet. Phase 1 is free. Phase 2 is fixed-fee. Phase 3 is operating cost. There is no hour-by-hour billing in the model.

We won't put your data in someone else's cloud.

Your data lives on hardware we own and physically possess in St George. The only egress is the per-record API call to a model provider during scoring, only with your authorization, and never your aggregated dataset.

We won't lock you in by stale-data.

You get a clean export of every record, profile, and configuration in standard formats whenever you ask. The platform stays our IP; everything that's yours leaves with you.

We won't promise more than the prototype proves.

Phase 1 exists for the same reason a contractor takes you to a finished site before you sign a build contract. If the demo doesn't earn your confidence, we don't earn the engagement. That's the deal.
