Production build brief for [your company name]. What the system needs to do: - [the workflow, agent, or system you want running] Our stack today: - [the tools your team uses today] Target timeline: 4 weeks Day one, in our accounts: - Accounts and access provisioned - Development and staging environments - Continuous integration and deployment - Monitoring and alerting - Shared project board Stages: 1. Discovery, week 1: build plan, system inventory, sequenced roadmap 2. Build, weeks 2-4: prod code in your repos, integration testing, staging deployment 3. Deploy, week 4-5: prod launch, monitoring setup, performance validation 4. Handoff, week 5-6: complete documentation, team training sessions, post-launch support window At handoff: all code, accounts, and infrastructure stay ours.
Day one
Built in your accounts from the start. You own everything, we get admin access to build.
- Accounts and access provisioned.
You own everything, we get admin access to build.
Access- Owner
- Your company
- Build access
- Admin, until handoff
- Billing
- Paid by you to providers
- Development and staging environments.
Inside your environment from the start.
- Continuous integration and deployment.
In place before the first milestone.
- Monitoring and alerting.
Set up on day one, not at launch.
- Shared project board.
Where every milestone update lands.
Discovery
The plan comes first. What gets built, what already exists, and the order it ships in, written down before production code.
- Build plan
What gets built and how, agreed before the first milestone.
- System inventory
Every system, account, and integration the build touches.
- Sequenced roadmap
The order of work, so each milestone is something you can test.
In your repo- build-plan.mdBuild plan
- system-inventory.mdSystem inventory
- roadmap.mdSequenced roadmap
- access.mdAccounts provisioned
Build
Production code in your repos, tested and on staging. Every milestone ends with something you can test, not a status slide.
- Prod code in your repos
Committed to repositories you own from the first day.
- Integration testing
Reliability checked before the next milestone starts.
- Staging deployment
Every milestone runs on staging before it goes near production.
Every milestone. Something you can test, not a status slide.
- Working demo
A demo you can test and give feedback on.

Production launch with monitoring live and performance validated, and a rollback written down before anything ships.
- Prod launch
The system moves from staging to production in your environment.

Questions. Answered before the first call.
How does pricing work for the build?
Each build is scoped individually based on complexity, integrations, and timeline. Fees typically range from $3,000 to $30,000. Underlying API and hosting costs are paid directly by you to the providers, with no markup from us.
Who actually does the work?
Davis McMurrain leads as AI Systems Architect. Engineers and joint partners are sourced per project to match the scope and stack. You always know who is on your engagement.
What happens if something breaks after handoff?
The 90-day support window covers issues that arise after delivery. For ongoing coverage, retainers keep the team available.
The consult comes first. The rest of the engagement.
Ready to scope the build?
Every build starts with the consult. 30 minutes to walk through your stack and what the system needs to do.
