# AI Pods Catalog

> Twelve scoped AI Pods with a published point range each. Assessment, build, modernization, quality and compliance work you can price before you call.

Most software work arrives in a shape someone has built before. We scoped the twelve shapes we deliver most often and published what each one costs in story points.


## Why a catalog exists at all

Every engagement differs in its details. Almost none differ in shape. A legacy assessment is a legacy assessment. A prototype that needs hardening needs the same set of things every time.

So we scoped the twelve shapes we deliver most and published a point range for each. Read a range, run the arithmetic against your budget, and decide whether a call is worth booking.

- Ranges vary because scope varies, not because the price is negotiable
- Three Pods are small enough to buy as a first step, and each ends in a scoped estimate
- Work that is not listed here is still an AI Pod, scoped the same way

## Start: from idea to production

For a product that does not exist yet, or exists as something nobody will put in front of a customer.

- Product Definition Sprint: You cannot get a fixed price because nobody can describe the thing yet. Ends with a Work Breakdown Structure you own. 25 to 40 points.
- Prototype to Production: Someone built it in Cursor, Lovable or v0. It demos beautifully and nobody will ship it. Assessment 15 to 25 points, build from 100.
- MVP Launch: You need a complete product loop running in production, not a foundation to keep funding. 200 to 400 points.

## Modernize: systems that work but cost too much

For a codebase that still serves customers and still holds revenue, where the price of every change has quietly tripled.

- Legacy Assessment: Worth saving, rewriting, or replacing? A costed answer before you commit a budget to the wrong one. 30 to 50 points.
- Monolith Decomposition: One codebase where every change is a risk and nobody will touch the oldest parts. 250 to 600 points, phased.
- Stack Upgrade: Three major versions behind, and the security patches stopped arriving. Runtime current, architecture untouched. 120 to 300 points.
- Data and Integrations: The systems do not talk, so someone re-keys the same record into three tools. 80 to 250 points.

## Ship: a roadmap that keeps moving

For a product already in production, where the constraint is throughput rather than a single defined outcome.

- Ongoing Delivery: The roadmap moves faster than hiring does. Standing point capacity, re-prioritized every Priority Sync. From 80 points a month.
- Design System: Every screen was designed from scratch and it shows. Components, tokens, and the documentation that stops the drift. 60 to 140 points.

## Stabilize: quality you can measure

For a product that ships, but ships nervously.

- Test Automation: Your regression suite is a person clicking for two days before each release. Converted to gates the pipeline enforces. 80 to 200 points.
- Bug Burndown: A P1 and P2 backlog that grows faster than it clears. Triaged, fixed, and gated so it does not refill. 40 to 150 points.

## Govern: the audit that is blocking a deal

Priced as a fixed fee rather than in story points, because the deliverable is an opinion rather than a feature.

- Compliance Readiness: SOC 2, HIPAA or PCI is now a line item in someone else's procurement checklist. Gap assessment, remediation plan, evidence. Fixed fee.

## Start with the cheapest useful thing

Three Pods here cost between 15 and 50 points. The Product Definition Sprint, the Legacy Assessment, and the assessment stage of Prototype to Production. Each is small enough to approve without assembling a committee.

Each ends the same way: a scoped, costed Work Breakdown Structure for the larger work behind it. You own that document whether or not you build with us. Buying the estimate first is how you learn the real number without betting the project on it.

Start the work it prices within 90 days and the assessment credits in full against the first phase. In the case where you go ahead, finding out what the real number is costs you nothing. The 90 days is the same window banked points run on.


## What is not on this page

A catalog covers the common shapes. It does not cover yours if yours is genuinely unusual.

Work outside these twelve is scoped exactly the same way. We decompose it into estimated items, price it in story points, and you approve the estimate before anything starts. The catalog is a shortcut, not a boundary.
