What this asks of your team
It's the first question everyone asks and the short answer is: less than you fear, but not zero. Most of the work (setting up the infrastructure, indexing what you already have, configuring the permissions, putting the isolation tests in place) I do. What I can't do without you are the interviews.
Across those three weeks, I ask your team for two things. An initial two-hour session with whoever knows the operation top to bottom, to find out where the critical knowledge lives. And between three and six one-hour interviews with the people everyone depends on: those two or three heads holding the operation up. Nobody else has to do anything until the adoption phase, which is short, hands-on group sessions.
If those key people in your company don't have those hours within a month, this project isn't going to go well and I'd rather say so before we start than after I've invoiced.
What it does NOT include
What goes unsaid ends up in an argument, so here it is up front:
- I don't migrate your systems. Savia reads what you already have; it doesn't replace your document manager, your CRM or your intranet.
- I don't tidy up your documentation. If it's a mess, it gets indexed as a mess. Tidying it is separate work I can point you to someone for, but it isn't in here.
- Custom integrations aren't in the base price. Connecting an internal tool of yours that isn't standard is quoted separately and said before signing.
- I don't do general AI training. The guidance is about Savia and about your knowledge, not a prompting course.
And if it doesn't fit
The diagnosis is free precisely so that either of us can say no. There are three cases where I'll be the one saying it: if you're fewer than twenty people sitting in the same room, because asking out loud is still faster for you; if the real problem you have is process and not knowledge, because then this just covers the symptom; and if nobody inside can give it the interview hours.
In any of those three cases you keep the plan anyway. No cost and no chasing.
I work with a few companies at a time
The rollout is genuinely hands-on, so there's a physical limit to how many I can run in parallel. That means two things: there may be a wait, and if we're talking it's because I think the project is going to go well. It isn't sales-manual scarcity, it's that I do the interviews and the guidance myself.
Where this is right now
Savia is in production and it works, but it's new: I don't yet have clients you can ring to ask how it went. I'd rather say that myself than have you find out.
That's why I've opened a founding programme with five places: terms that won't be repeated, the entire rollout free and the first month of use at no cost, in exchange for a feedback email every week and your testimonial at the end of that month. If being one of the first works for you, the whole deal is there along with the four questions that tell us whether we fit.
