How payment works

Milestone-based. You pay as we deliver.

No large upfront commitment. The final payment only releases when the automation is handed over, documented, and verified by your team.

1

30%

On project kickoff

Paid when the project brief is signed and work begins. Covers the technical scoping phase and integration design.

2

40%

On working prototype

Paid when a working prototype is demonstrated and reviewed by the client. Covers the core build phase.

3

30%

On final handover

Paid when the automation is fully documented, the handover session is complete, and your team can operate it independently.

Scope

What this is not.

  • An open-ended retainer or hourly engagement. The scope is fixed before work begins. If requirements change materially during the sprint, they go into a new scoped project.
  • A black-box system the client can't maintain. Every sprint ends with full documentation and a handover session specifically designed to make the client's team self-sufficient.
  • A new platform or software product. AIpex builds automations within the firm's existing technology stack — not replacement systems that require migration or retraining.
  • Suitable for firms that haven't yet identified which workflows to automate. Those firms should start with the AI Readiness Assessment, which produces the brief for the sprint.
Audience

Who this is for.

The Workflow Integration Sprint is designed for operations managers and practice managers of NZ professional services firms who have identified specific workflows to automate and have a mandate to proceed.

It is the right starting point for the operations manager who already knows that proposal assembly takes 12 hours a week and wants to build an automation for it. It is equally suited to firms that have completed an AI Readiness Assessment and are ready to build the top-priority recommendation from the roadmap.

Firms that are not yet sure which workflows to target should start with the AI Readiness Assessment, which produces a prioritised, costed brief ready for an integration sprint. Firms that need staff capability built alongside the automation project can run an AI Capability Workshop in parallel.

Common questions

Questions about the Workflow Integration Sprint.

What operations managers ask before committing.

Who owns the automations after the sprint?
The client owns everything built. All automations, integrations, and code are fully documented and handed over with a structured session (2 hours single, 3 hours multi). The documentation is written so the client's team can maintain and modify the automations independently. An Ongoing Support Retainer is available for firms that want continued assistance.
