We embed, we ship, we hand it back.
A Swfte engineer sits with your team, takes one real business problem, and ships a working solution on Connect or Studio in weeks — inside your own tenant, so you keep and operate everything afterwards.
What you walk away with
Outcomes, not slideware — grounded in the products you already run.
Cut model spend, kill vendor lock-in
A unified gateway tuned to your real traffic.
Route by cost and capability, add semantic caching, and prove a customer-specific monthly saving against a dashboard — not a marketing claim. Automatic failover across 50+ providers removes single-vendor outage risk.
- Verified cost reduction
- Tested provider failover
- Centralised spend analytics
Automate a real process, end to end
Production agents and workflows, not demos.
Document processing, ticket triage, data extraction, multi-channel support agents — built with golden test sets, guardrails, versioning, and rollback so the result is operable from day one.
- Integrated with your CRM & stack
- Evals + observability in place
- Human-in-the-loop approvals
Built in your tenant, handed back
You own and operate everything we ship.
We build inside your own Connect/Studio workspace — never a black box we keep. Knowledge transfer is an acceptance criterion: your engineers ship a change unaided before we sign off.
- No long-term dependency
- Runbook + architecture docs
- 30 days of care included
A gated pipeline, not an open-ended retainer
Six stages with go/no-go gates, so neither side burns budget on a misframed problem.
From the first call to a clean handback — typically two to eight weeks.
Qualification
We confirm there is a named business problem with a dollar value, a system owner who can grant access, and a Connect/Studio plan in place. Output: a one-page Problem Brief.
Explore & Scope
Working sessions map the current process, data, integrations, and success metrics. You receive a Solution Design Doc and a fixed-price Statement of Work. Gate 1: sign or walk away.
Build
The engineer builds inside your own Connect/Studio tenant. Weekly demos and written status. Scope is fixed; change requests are logged and re-quoted, never silently absorbed.
Evaluate & Harden
Golden test sets, regressions, and guardrail checks for Studio; routing, failover, and cache-rate validation for Connect. Gate 2: the SOW acceptance criteria are demonstrably met.
Handback & Enablement
Knowledge-transfer sessions, a runbook, and an architecture doc. Your engineers drive a live change with the FDE supervising — that is what closes the engagement.
Care
Bug fixes and tuning are included for 30 days post-handback, then convert to an optional monthly retainer or a call-us-back credit.
Five ways to engage
From a half-week Explore to ongoing Scale across departments. Each price is a starting point — the final fee scopes to complexity within the tier. Explore is fully creditable against any build booked within 30 days.
Explore
Map your data, systems, and integrations. Leave with a design doc and a fixed build quote.
- Data sources, models & access mapped
- Integrations, APIs & systems inventoried
- Security, compliance & access requirements
- Success metrics + Solution Design Doc
- Fixed-price, fully creditable build quote
Launch
One workflow or one Connect setup, live in your tenant.
- Single use case, one integration
- Built in your tenant
- Acceptance-tested handback
- 30 days care included
Solutionise
A multi-step agent or multi-provider gateway, department-level.
- 2–4 integrations
- Evals + observability
- Versioning & rollback
- Team enablement sessions
Transform
Multiple agents and workflows across a whole function.
- Custom governance & policies
- SSO, multi-region
- Multiple production use cases
- Optional ongoing retainer
Scale
Forward-deployed engineering rolled out across multiple departments.
- Multiple departments & teams
- Flexible, usage-based pricing
- Dedicated FDE capacity
- Shared governance & roadmap
We work fixed-fee by default. Where genuinely open-ended exploration is needed, day rates start at €700; an optional post-handback care retainer starts at €1,200/month. Connect cost-optimisation work can include a success fee on verified first-year savings.
How we compare to a typical AI consultancy
We share the embed-and-deliver philosophy of the best consultancies — and differ on what you walk away owning, how fast you get there, and how the relationship ends.
Frequently asked questions
A Swfte engineer embeds with your team for a fixed window to solve one specific business problem on Connect or Studio, then hands the solution back so your own team can run and extend it. It is the bridge between self-serve software and full custom consulting.
Yes. The engagement builds inside your own tenant, so an active plan is required — Studio Team or above for Studio work, and a Connect Scale/Enterprise plan for gateway work. Explore can start while the plan is being provisioned.
Everything. We build in your workspace, never a black box we keep. You receive a runbook and architecture docs, and your engineers ship a live change unaided before we sign off — handback is a formal acceptance criterion.
Scale rolls forward-deployed engineering across multiple departments under one flexible, usage-based commercial model, with dedicated FDE capacity and shared governance — rather than re-quoting each team as a separate fixed-fee build.
Scope is gated and fixed against a written design doc, pricing is productised and published, and the goal is to remove the dependency — not extend it. Every engagement should leave you consuming more of a platform you control, not more billable hours.
