We take one business process, or one whole function, from manual work to an autonomous agent your team actually runs. Fixed fee agreed before we start, dated finish line, and the before-and-after numbers written into the statement of work.
Not ready for a sprint? Start with the $2,500 Blueprint. It is credited in full against any sprint you book within 30 days.
Most AI programmes stall because nothing forces a decision. Right now two things do, and both of them have a published date attached.
Announced 3 June 2026. Evals turns read-only on 31 October 2026 and Agent Builder, Evals and reusable prompts all shut down on 30 November 2026, with the Agents SDK and Promptfoo named as the path forward. Anything you built there needs a new home, and the evaluation suite has to move with it.
If a system interacts with people or generates content, the disclosure and record-keeping duties already apply. Retrofitting that onto an agent nobody documented is far more expensive than designing it in during the build.
Open source agent runtimes are free, managed hosting starts near $3 a month, and managed agent clouds run $39 to $49 a month including API cost. Nobody will pay a premium for an agent that can call a tool. They will pay for one that is integrated, governed, measured and accountable.
Every sprint is priced before it starts and the scope does not move once it is signed. Booking takes a mobilization payment of 20% of the fee, which is what puts the team on your calendar. The balance is invoiced at the two milestones inside the sprint.
One expensive, repeating process. The fastest way to find out whether agents work in your business.
A whole function moved onto agents, with the governance an auditor will ask about.
Several functions on one platform, plus the migration you cannot postpone past November.
The Blueprint is a two-week paid diagnostic. We sit with the people who do the work, map where the hours and the errors actually go, and hand back a scoped sprint with a fixed fee and a target number you can argue with.
Move the three sliders to describe the work you would put through a sprint. The number on the right is what that work costs in salary alone, before errors, delay and the deals that go cold while somebody catches up.
Loaded cost means salary plus tax, tools and overhead, which is normally 1.25 to 1.4 times the raw wage.
This is the Focus Sprint shape. The longer sprints run the same way with more ground covered and a second build cycle before handover.
We watch the work being done, not described. Every step, every exception, every system it touches, and the baseline number we will be judged on.
The agent design, the permission model and the approval gates get signed before any code. Access is requested once, scoped tight, and logged.
Built and tested on your real cases, including the ugly ones. You see it working, or failing, in a weekly session with the output in front of you.
The agent does the work in parallel with your team and nothing it produces ships without a human. This is where the failure modes show up.
The agent takes the process, humans move to the approval gates and the exceptions. We watch the first live week closely with you.
Before-and-after numbers, the runbook, the source, the operating model, and a session with the people who own it from here.
Three real options, priced the way the market actually prices them today. If the row that fits you is not the sprint, buy that instead and tell us to go away.
One more thing worth saying out loud: buyers have already moved. In Futurum's first-half 2026 research, 43% preferred consumption pricing and 27% preferred outcome-based pricing, while fewer than one in five still wanted per-seat. A fixed fee against a named number is what that preference looks like in a services contract.
Bles Software builds and operates agent systems in production, not as a slide practice. Teleclaudious, our own product, is a business operator that runs real company work every day across chat, email, calendars, documents and more than a thousand connected apps. The sprint takes that same engineering into your business, on your systems, under your permissions.
We publish the working method behind it as well. The 45 agent skills our own agents run on are readable in the open, and the operator itself is at teleclaudius.bles-software.com. You can judge the engineering before you buy anything.
A retainer buys availability and the finish line moves with it. A sprint buys a dated outcome for a fee agreed up front, with the baseline and target number written into the statement of work.
For one person on one workflow, often you should. What free code does not give you is the integration into your systems of record, the permission and approval design, the failure handling, the transparency record and somebody accountable at 3am.
It shuts down on 30 November 2026 and Evals goes read-only on 31 October 2026. The Command Sprint covers that migration, evaluation suite included, so a vendor deadline does not get to choose your architecture.
The working system in your environment, the source, the configuration, the runbook, the measured numbers and a handover session. We keep our own reusable tooling, which is what makes 60 days possible.
The baseline and target are measured and agreed before kickoff, and the Command Sprint carries a performance commitment against it. We would rather decline a sprint whose number we cannot move than sell it.
The Blueprint can start within a week. A sprint starts once the scope is signed and mobilization clears, normally two to three weeks from first contact. We run a limited number at a time.
Open source, retainer, hourly and fixed fee, with the numbers the market is charging now and which one fits which problem.
What to move, in what order, and why the evaluation suite has to go first, before it turns read-only on 31 October 2026.
Nine questions that separate a supplier who ships to production from one who ships a demo, including the one about price overruns.
Describe the work you would put through a sprint and roughly what it costs you today. You get a straight answer within one business day: which sprint fits, what it would cost, and whether we think it is worth doing at all.
$75k to $250k, fixed. 60 to 90 days to production.
