This is the mechanism that catches it. - [How AI Pods Work](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/how-it-works/): Story points, two-week cycles, and continuous deployment inside them. How a Koombea AI Pod turns your priorities into production software. - [Prototype to Production](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/prototype-to-production/): A scoped AI Pod that takes a prototype built in Cursor, Lovable, v0, Bolt, Replit or Claude Code and makes it safe to put in front of customers. - [AI Readiness Audit](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/ai-readiness-audit/): What an AI readiness audit actually measures: four dimensions scored on evidence, every finding tagged by how strongly it is supported, and a gap list ranked by what it puts at risk. - [MVP Launch](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/mvp-launch/): A scoped AI Pod that ships a first version customers can actually use, at a price agreed before work begins. 200 to 400 story points. - [AI Pods Pricing](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/pricing/): How AI Pods are priced: story points, monthly capacity tiers, banked points, and the 90-day expiry. Published rather than buried. - [Legacy Assessment](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/legacy-assessment/): A scoped AI Pod that answers what to do with an aging system, with a costed roadmap, before you commit a budget to the wrong option. 30 to 50 points. - [How AI Pods Pricing Compares](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/how-pricing-compares/): Three ways to buy software delivery, compared on what you actually buy, who carries the risk, and what you can forecast. - [How AI Pods Compare to Vibe Coding](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/vs-vibe-coding/): Vibe coding is genuinely excellent at reaching a working demo. Production software is a verification problem. What sits in that gap, and who closes it. - [Monolith Decomposition](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/monolith-decomposition/): A scoped AI Pod that extracts a monolith one bounded piece at a time, with a working system at every step. 250 to 600 story points, phased. - [Stack Upgrade](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/stack-upgrade/): A scoped AI Pod that brings a framework and runtime up to a supported version, architecture untouched. 120 to 300 story points. - [Data and Integrations](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/data-and-integrations/): A scoped AI Pod that connects the systems running your business, so the same record stops being typed into three tools. 80 to 250 story points. - [Ongoing Delivery](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/ongoing-delivery/): A Monthly Capacity Commitment that ships against your roadmap in two-week cycles, re-prioritized whenever you need. From 80 story points a month. - [Design System](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/design-system/): A scoped AI Pod that builds the components, tokens and documentation that keep a product visually coherent as it grows. 60 to 140 story points. - [Test Automation](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/test-automation/): A scoped AI Pod that converts manual regression testing into automated gates the pipeline enforces on every merge. 80 to 200 story points. - [Bug Burndown](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/bug-burndown/): A scoped AI Pod that triages and clears a defect backlog, then gates the pipeline so it does not refill. 40 to 150 story points. - [Compliance Readiness](https://www.koombea.com/ai-pods/catalog/compliance-readiness/): A fixed-fee engagement that closes the gap between where you are and what an auditor needs. Priced as a fee, never in story points. ## Engagement models - [Staff Augmentation](https://www.koombea.com/staff-augmentation/): The second engagement model.
