Engagement Models

AI engagement models for audits, builds, embedded teams, and hardening

Choose the model based on uncertainty, urgency, and ownership.

How to choose

Pick the model based on the decision you need next

Clarity, execution, capacity, or production control.

Audit
Unclear priority
Best when ideas need ranking.
Fixed Build
Clear workflow
Best when one outcome has an owner.
Hardening
AI already matters
Best when reliability or security is weak.

Risk

Selection path

Match the model to the current stage

Reduce uncertainty, create leverage, or lower risk.

Practical rule
Audit when unclear. Build or harden when the workflow is known.
01

Clarify the stage

Exploring, prioritizing, building, piloting, or operating?

02

Choose the narrowest useful scope

Avoid broad work when a focused sprint answers the question.

03

Define outputs and owners

Make deliverables, inputs, and decisions explicit.

04

Expand from evidence

Use results to choose the next workflow or control.

Comparison

What to expect from each model

Every engagement should produce a concrete outcome.

Audit: ranked roadmap
Fixed build: defined workflow or feature
Embedded: senior delivery capacity
Hardening: evals, monitoring, security
Support: tuning and iteration

Can we start small?
