Good questions, answered
Has this actually shipped for a real computer-controlled machine tool operators, metal and plastic team?

How long does AI take to ship for Computer-Controlled Machine Tool Operators, Metal and Plastic teams?
We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks - narrow scope, real Computer-Controlled Machine Tool Operators, Metal and Plastic teams 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.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.

It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
