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

Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for AI fraud detection with a Whanganui?
Most Whanganui 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 Whanganui?
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.
Has this actually shipped for a real Whanganui?
Yes. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
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.
