The reason we take on work in Kerikeri is that the businesses here tend to be sharper about what they want than the brief lets on. AI fraud detection for a Kerikeri team almost always ends up looking different to AI fraud detection for a downtown Auckland one.

Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI fraud detection with a Kerikeri?
Most Kerikeri businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
What does AI fraud detection cost for a Kerikeri?
Pilots start from a fixed scope priced to land a measurable result inside 6 weeks. Pricing depends on data volume, integration complexity, and whether you need us on managed services afterwards. We'll quote precisely after a 30-minute scoping call.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
AI fraud detection is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
