Engagement Model
How nicojahn works with you — from a fixed-scope discovery sprint to production delivery and a clean handover.
I keep engagements small, senior, and outcome-driven. Three phases, no open-ended retainers unless you want one.
1. Discover — 2 to 3 weeks
A fixed-scope sprint to find and de-risk the right use cases. You get a ranked portfolio, a roadmap, and a business case. Fixed price, no commitment beyond it.
2. Build — 6 to 12 weeks
I ship a production system in two-week increments. You see working software every sprint, deployed to your environment.
3. Operate & hand over
I instrument, document, and pair with your team until they can run it without me. Optional ongoing support if you want a safety net.
Principles
- Senior-only delivery. The person who scopes is the person who builds.
- Your infrastructure. I deploy into your cloud or on-prem. Your data stays yours.
- No lock-in. Open standards, full documentation, knowledge transfer by default.
- EU-native. GDPR and EU AI Act considerations are part of every phase.
What I need from you
- A business owner who can make decisions.
- Access to relevant data and systems (under your governance).
- One or two of your engineers to pair with — so the capability stays in-house.
