Our approach

No surprises. Ever.

No discovery phases, no scope creep, no sales script. Here's exactly what happens from the first call to the work in your hands.

Process

From first call to delivery

  1. Book a free 30-minute call

    You describe the situation. We ask questions and tell you what we think. If we are not the right help, we say so on the call.

  2. We scope it in writing

    Within one working day: a short written summary and a fixed-price proposal. Scope, hours, price, and turnaround. No surprises.

  3. You accept, and we invoice

    Reply to accept. We invoice by bank transfer or card payment link. Work starts.

  4. We deliver

    The deliverable lands in your inbox. For review-style work, no interruptions during the engagement.

  5. Walkthrough call

    We walk you through the findings or the code together.

What we won’t do

  • No vendor commissions or referral fees - we recommend what works, not what pays us.
  • No six-month discovery phases. If it takes that long to define the problem, the problem is the discovery phase.
  • No billing for scoping. The free 30-minute call is genuinely free.
  • No work we are not the right team for. We will tell you on the call if that is the case.

Confidentiality & data

NDA by default

We offer a mutual NDA on request, and we offer it by default before any code access. The NDA is a standard two-page document. We sign first if you prefer.

What we do with your data

We read client code and documents to do the work. We do not retain copies after the engagement ends. We do not train models on client materials. We do not share client work with third parties.

What we never publish

Client code, client names, case study details, or any description of a client's system without explicit written permission. When we do publish with permission, we show the client what we plan to write before it appears anywhere.

Who does the work

AIVI commissions specialist associates per engagement. We name who will do the work before you agree to anything. The associate’s credentials and focus area are shared with you before the scope is confirmed, and you can ask questions about them before you accept. Learn more about the team →

Questions about the process

Yes, with no obligation and no sales script. If we are not the right help for your situation, we will say so on the call. The call exists for you to describe your situation and for us to tell you honestly what we think.

Typically within a week of the call. For working sessions and the student roadmap, often within a few days. For code reviews and audits, we agree a start date on the call.

Yes, globally. All engagements can be delivered remotely. On-site workshops are available in the Netherlands at the stated on-site rate.

No. Most of our founder clients are non-technical. We write reports in plain English with concrete next steps. Technical depth is available if you want it, but it is never the default.

We invoice after the call, payable by bank transfer or a card payment link within 14 days. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. Anything under €500 is prepaid. A 50% deposit is required for engagements above €2,000.

Start with the free call.

The free 30-minute call is genuinely free. If we are not the right help, we say so on the call.
