The alternative is a specification, a budget and a scope document written before anyone knows what the thing is. Incubation replaces that with a monthly fee and a working thing.
Everything except the idea
You bring the idea, or the half-built thing. We bring the rest: the machines, the model gateway, the deployment, the backups, the tooling, and the building itself. The work happens on infrastructure we already operate and already pay for, so the arithmetic starts near nothing instead of at a cloud bill with a growth curve.
What you pay for, and what you keep
You pay a monthly fee while we develop together. It covers our costs plus a margin — not a project budget, not a success fee, not a share of your company.
You keep the idea, the data, the domains, and the accounts. If we stop, you take a working thing and the documentation to run it with you. That is a design requirement, not a courtesy.
It ends at a pilot, or it does not
At some point the thing either can be piloted or it cannot. Then we decide together: launch it, narrow it, stop it, or go further as partners. All four are legitimate outcomes. What does not happen is a project continuing because it was budgeted.
Why this is not a theory
- Our own trading business runs on the same infrastructure, so the tools are practised daily before anyone else is asked to rely on them.
- The model gateway already carries a customer’s document features in production. It is not a diagram.
- One project of exactly this shape is running now. Its details are its own, not ours to publish.
The next step
A conversation about the idea, in the same shape as any other: it can end in a plan, a narrower version, or a no. Start at how we work.
