The version of AI demand forecasting that works for a Christchurch business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

How we build AI demand forecasting for a Christchurch team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Christchurch business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI sales + stock forecasting.

Questions
FAQ
How long does AI demand forecasting take to ship for Christchurch businesses?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Christchurch businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.
How do you price AI demand forecasting engagements?
Fixed-scope pilots first, then either project pricing or a small monthly retainer for the ongoing work. No long lock-ins, no 18-month black-box deals. Most Christchurch businesses are surprised how small the first cheque is.
Has this actually shipped for a real Christchurch?
Yes. Stockouts down 35%, overstock down 22% in the first season. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Who owns the code and the model setup?
You do, on delivery. We deploy AI demand forecasting into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Prophet sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
