Most of our Paraparaumu engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. AI fraud detection is then designed against the detail, not the shape.

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

Questions
FAQ
When does AI fraud detection actually pay back?
Inside the first quarter, in our experience. We pick the first slice specifically because it's the highest-leverage workflow for a Paraparaumu – so the savings start landing before the rest of the build is finished.
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real Paraparaumu?
Yes. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
Will this run on our own infrastructure?
Yes, where it makes sense. AI fraud detection can sit entirely in your cloud account, with model calls routed through endpoints you control. We default to Claude, DuckDB, Postgres, Vercel but the architecture supports your existing platform choices.
Worth a conversation?
Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
