Working software
A functional workflow or agent that demonstrates the intended operating behavior rather than a slide deck or isolated model demo.
Prove Before You Scale
Production AI Pilot
A bounded implementation that produces working software and evidence about quality, integration complexity, controls, and operating value before a broader production rollout.
Starting investment: $25,000+
A pilot should answer production questions—not just demonstrate a model
KeenSight pilots are designed around a specific workflow and the evidence required to make a larger implementation decision. That usually means representative data, real integration points where practical, explicit evaluation criteria, human-review and exception paths, and enough operating context to understand what production deployment will require.
Good fit when
- ✓The workflow is defined, but important technical or operational risks remain.
- ✓You want working software before committing to a larger production implementation.
- ✓Integration complexity, model quality, exception handling, or user adoption needs to be validated.
- ✓The organization needs evidence to support a broader investment decision.
- ✓You want a pilot that can become the first slice of a production system rather than a disposable demo.
What this engagement creates
Outcomes built around your operating environment
Representative integrations
Connections to agreed systems, data, or knowledge sources sufficient to test the real implementation assumptions.
Evaluation evidence
Measured performance against representative cases, including quality, failure modes, exception patterns, and acceptance criteria.
Human-review model
Defined review, approval, escalation, and fallback paths for cases that should not be handled autonomously.
Production findings
A clear view of what must change, harden, integrate, or expand before broader deployment.
Implementation recommendation
A practical next-step scope and investment range based on what the pilot actually demonstrated.

How we work
1
Define the evidence
Agree on the workflow boundary, assumptions to test, representative cases, and decision criteria for moving forward.
2
Build the bounded system
Implement the workflow, integrations, business logic, controls, and user interaction needed to test those assumptions.
3
Evaluate under realistic conditions
Run representative cases, examine quality and failure modes, and refine review and exception handling.
4
Decide the production path
Translate pilot evidence into a recommended production scope, architecture, controls, and implementation plan.
Make the pilot part of the implementation path
For qualifying engagements, 50% of the KeenSight professional-services fee for the pilot may be credited toward the subsequent production implementation under terms defined in the statement of work.
