Process / 03 steps

From idea to done in under two weeks.

No long discovery phases. No strategy decks. No seven-page contracts. Just a fixed-price package, a vetted operator, and a build that actually gets delivered.

Step-by-step
STEP_01 / DAY 00

You pick a package

Choose from ten packages, or send us a brief and we'll recommend one. Every package has published scope, price, timeline and acceptance criteria.

Deliverable: signed one-page SoW
STEP_02 / DAY 02

We match you in 48 hours

We route your brief to a vetted senior AI operator who has delivered paid work in this exact category. You meet them on a 20-minute call, confirm fit, kick off.

Median match time: 32 hours
STEP_03 / DAY 07–14

Delivered into your business

Your operator builds, tests, and hands over. You review against the written acceptance criteria. You sign off. Second 50 percent releases. You own everything.

Median delivery: 9 days
Payment

50 percent upfront. 50 on delivery.

Payment is tied to the written acceptance criteria you sign at kickoff. Both sides know what delivered means before any work starts.

Kickoff

50% on signed SoW. Operator starts work the same day.

Mid-build check

Working preview shared at day 3 (7-day builds) or day 7 (14-day builds).

Acceptance

You review against the written criteria. Either sign off, or request fixes.

Delivery

Second 50% on sign-off. Code, prompts and credentials handed over.

Ownership

You keep the keys.

Every build is delivered into your accounts, your systems, your logins. You own the code. You own the prompts. You own the connections.

If you ever want to walk away from Gateway, you walk away with everything. No licence that lapses. No proprietary runtime you can't host yourself. No data in a black box.

What you own after delivery

  • Full source code, repositories and CI config
  • Prompt libraries and model configurations
  • Third-party API keys and account ownership
  • Database schemas and deployed infrastructure
  • Documentation and runbooks
