Concrete ways to engage.
Fixed-scope entry points with defined deliverables, or an ongoing retainer for delivery and operations. Every engagement ends with software you own: code, infrastructure and documentation.
AI Product Discovery
Know exactly what to build, what it costs and what it returns, before writing code.
- ›Problem & workflow mapping
- ›Build-vs-buy analysis
- ›Technical roadmap & estimate
Architecture Review
An independent audit of your system: risks, costs and a concrete improvement plan.
- ›Architecture & security assessment
- ›Scalability and cost report
- ›Prioritised action plan
Production MVP
A working product in front of real users, typically in about six weeks (scope dependent).
- ›Weekly usable increments
- ›Auth, data and admin included
- ›Deployed, monitored, documented
AI Workflow Automation
Manual, repetitive processes replaced with AI pipelines your team controls.
- ›Workflow analysis & pilot
- ›LLM/RAG pipeline in production
- ›Human-in-the-loop controls
> POST_PRODUCTION: support and continuous evolution available as a monthly retainer.
One partner, whole product.
Ingenarte builds production-grade AI systems, SaaS platforms and custom software for companies turning complex ideas into working products · operating as an independent technical partner aligned with the client's business interests.
DISCOVERY
Understand the idea, operating model, constraints and expected outcomes before defining any technical solution.
DELIVERABLE: scoped roadmap + estimate
ARCHITECTURE
Data models, APIs, AI workflows and infrastructure decisions evaluated on delivery cost, complexity and product value.
DELIVERABLE: architecture doc + cost model
DELIVERY
Sprint-based full-stack implementation with weekly increments · frontend, backend, auth and data.
DELIVERABLE: usable software every week
OPERATIONS
Production deployment with security, observability and a clear handover · systems you can run, not prototypes.
DELIVERABLE: deployed system + docs + handover
