AI Development Packages for Startups with a guaranteed outcome

Three fixed AI development plans cover each stage of a startup's product: a proof of concept, a minimum viable product and a full-scale product built on complex AI models. Each package has defined deliverables, a defined team and a predefined price, so you know what you get before work starts.

  • Defined deliverables for every stage
  • Predefined price agreed before work starts
  • A clear path from proof of concept to product

What you gain

Three packages, one path to production

Start at the stage you are at. Each package ends with a result you can use and a roadmap for the next step.

Proof of Concept (PoC)

Test the product concept and gain insight into customer needs: data analysis and quality report, preprocessing pipelines, a trained model, a demo or performance report and an MVP roadmap. Typically 3 to 6 weeks with a business analyst, a data scientist and an AI manager.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Validate the business model with an operational product (web, mobile or enterprise) with core functionality and an established framework for model training and deployment. Typically 4 to 8 weeks with two data scientists, a software engineer and an AI manager.

Product

Scale from MVP to a full-scale product with complete functionality, automated data pipelines, documentation and knowledge transfer. From 10 weeks with a dedicated project team; scope and price depend on your requirements.

What we deliver

What the packages deliver

Concrete deliverables at each stage, so progress is measurable and nothing is left open to interpretation.

  1. 01

    Data analysis and quality report

    An extended analysis of your data set and a report on its quality and fitness for the use case (PoC).

  2. 02

    Data preprocessing and extraction pipelines

    Pipelines that prepare and extract the data your models need (PoC).

  3. 03

    Trained machine learning model

    A working model trained on your data, shown in a real-time demo or a performance and usability report (PoC).

  4. 04

    Product roadmaps

    An MVP roadmap at the end of the PoC and a product roadmap at the end of the MVP, so each next step is planned.

  5. 05

    Operational MVP

    A web, mobile or enterprise product with core functionality, ready for market validation (MVP).

  6. 06

    ML framework for training and deployment

    An established machine learning framework for training and deploying your models (MVP).

  7. 07

    Full-scale product and automated pipelines

    An operational product with complete functionality and automated data pipelines (Product).

  8. 08

    Documentation and knowledge transfer

    Documentation plus operational training and knowledge transfer sessions for your team (Product).

Why AI Superior

Research-grade AI, delivered like a product company

Many vendors can build a demo. Making AI work reliably on real data, inside real business processes, is the hard part, and it needs a different kind of team.

01

A research-led team

AI Superior was founded in 2019 by AI researchers with published papers and patents, and the whole team works to that research standard.

  • PhD57%
  • MSc28%
  • BSc15%
Team by highest degree
02

Built to reach production

Every project is de-risked in stages, with a go/no-go decision at each milestone, so budget only goes into approaches that have worked on your data.

4× our proof-of-concept success rate compared with the market average
03

A complete team from day one

Strategy, models and software are designed by one team, so nothing gets lost in hand-overs between vendors.

  • Product AI product owner, business analyst, project manager
  • Data Data scientists, ML engineers, BI analyst
  • Development Software engineers, QA, DevOps
04

Your data stays under control

When data must not leave your organisation, we build on private, self-hosted models instead of third-party AI services.

  • GDPR, German company
  • Self-hosted LLMs
  • Transparent methods
Our team

How we work

A staged AI project life cycle

Every stage ends with a result you can check, and you decide on the next one only after seeing the previous one work. You keep control of scope and budget.

  • Estimate before you commitYou see scope and expected results before the build begins.
  • Go/no-go after every stageEach stage ends with a result you can check and a decision on the next step.
  • Risks reported openlyWe share risks and opportunities as soon as the analysis shows them.
Start with discovery
  1. Discovery

    We work through the business problem with your team and define the direction of the solution.

  2. Data and feasibility

    We get to know your team and data and check whether AI is the right tool for this problem.

    You get: A data assessment and a clear feasibility verdict before any build starts

    Go / no-go decision
  3. Proof of concept / MVP

    We start small, using the data already available, to test the solution in practice.

    You get: Measured results on your own data and a basis for the investment decision

    Go / no-go decision
  4. Integration and scaling

    We integrate the solution into your existing systems, fine-tune the models and adjust them where needed.

    You get: A solution running inside your processes, compatible with your data and systems

    Go / no-go decision

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

What makes these packages different from a standard project?

Each package has a fixed scope, defined deliverables, a defined team and a predefined price. You know the outcome and the budget before work starts, rather than working from an open-ended estimate.

Which package should we start with?

If you still need to test whether AI can solve the problem with your data, start with the PoC. If feasibility is proven and you need to validate the business model, start with the MVP. If you have a validated MVP and need to scale, choose the Product package.

How long does each package take?

The PoC typically takes 3 to 6 weeks and the MVP 4 to 8 weeks. The Product package runs 10 weeks or longer, depending on scope and requirements.

Who works on our project?

The PoC team is a business analyst, a data scientist and an AI manager. The MVP team is two data scientists, a software engineer and an AI manager. The Product package has a dedicated project team.

How is pricing set?

Each package is offered at a predefined price agreed before work starts. The PoC and MVP have fixed price ranges; the Product package is priced on scope and requirements. Contact us for the current package prices.

Can a package be tailored to our requirements?

Yes. We work closely with each client to understand their specific needs and tailor the plan to them, while keeping the scope and deliverables defined.
