AI That Works
Within Your World

It depends significantly on the scope and your existing infrastructure. A procurement guidance engagement typically spans two to four weeks. Document similarity tools for a defined repository usually take six to ten weeks. Fraud detection systems, which require integration with live transaction data and compliance review, often run twelve to sixteen weeks. We discuss timelines in detail during the initial scoping conversation.

Yes — in fact, many of our clients are starting from a relatively conventional technical baseline. We design our systems to integrate with existing databases, APIs, and workflows rather than requiring you to rebuild your infrastructure around AI. Our procurement advisory service is particularly suited to organizations still mapping what they actually need.

Data handling is designed in compliance with Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO) and, where applicable, regional frameworks like GDPR for clients with European operations. We work with your legal and compliance teams from the outset to ensure data flows, storage, and processing meet your obligations. For fraud detection in regulated financial services, we have experience navigating HKMA and SFC considerations.

The prices shown are starting points for scoped engagements. They cover discovery, design, core development, integration support, and a handover period. Larger document repositories, more complex transaction environments, or extended advisory scope would adjust the final fee. We provide a detailed proposal after the initial consultation so there are no surprises.

Absolutely. Collaboration with internal teams is often the most effective way to ensure the system is properly embedded and maintainable after delivery. We are comfortable working in hybrid environments — leading where expertise is needed, stepping back where your team has strong ownership. We document everything carefully to support long-term self-sufficiency.

Yes — an independent review at the proposal stage often surfaces questions worth resolving before signing. We can assess whether a vendor's proposed solution genuinely fits your use case, whether the technical claims are realistic, and whether the contract terms reflect industry norms. Organizations often engage us specifically because they want an objective perspective before committing.
