Common questions

Before you book the call.

What's a typical engagement length for Nelson businesses? +

Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.

Do you do hourly billing or fixed price? +

Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.

Anyone else in this space using AI chatbots? +

Plenty. Handles 60-70% of routine enquiries without human input. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

Can you work with our existing systems? +

Yes. The default AI chatbots stack we reach for is Claude, OpenAI, Custom RAG pipelines, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.

The honest version of a sales call.

No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
