Services / Consulting
Your first agentic decision is too important for a self-serve trial. We build it with you.
A forward-deployed engineering team, not a sales engineer with a demo script. We encode your constraint framework, seed the causal graph with your own domain experts, and ship a working verification layer on one real decision — then hand off to the platform once it's proven. This is how a platform sale starts when nobody trusts a platform sale yet.
How an engagement runs
Four steps. Weeks, not quarters.
Pick one decision
01 · Scope
Not a platform rollout — one real, currently-manual, expensive-to-get-wrong decision your team already makes.
Seed the graph
02 · Instrument
Your domain experts encode the failure patterns they already know. This is configuration, not a model to train.
Run it in shadow
03 · Prove
The verification layer runs alongside the existing process until its confidence labels earn trust against real outcomes.
Convert to platform
04 · Handoff
Once proven on one decision, the same graph and gates extend to the next — on the platform, without us in the room.
Engagement packages
Three sizes. Pick the one that matches how much you've already committed to.
Decision Diagnostic
$15K · 2 weeks
We scope one decision, map its failure patterns with your domain experts, and run the Calibration Benchmark against your own historical data.
Deliverable: a written constraint framework and a go/no-build recommendation. Credited toward a Build.
Single-Decision Build
$60K–$150K · 6–10 wks
Full build: causal graph, gates, confidence labels, audit log — shadow-run against real outcomes before it touches production.
Deliverable: one decision type live, verified, handed off to your team on the platform.
Multi-Decision Rollout
from $40K/mo
Ongoing FDE staffing to extend the graph to additional decision types across the org as each one proves out.
Deliverable: a growing portfolio of verified decision types, and a dedicated liaison.
Cloud co-sell
marketplace rate
Any of the above, purchased through AWS, GCP or Azure marketplace and routed through existing cloud spend commitments.
No new vendor relationship for procurement to open.
Platform SKUs are priced separately — Verification Core, Vertical Verification Packs, the Governance & Audit Layer and Enterprise are all on the Pricing page.
A typical first engagement · weeks 1–10
Week 1: we sit with your credit ops team and write down the six failure patterns they already recognise by feel — the ones nobody had encoded because nobody thought a rule tree needed writing down.
Week 3: those patterns are traversals in the graph, running in shadow against real applications, next to the analyst who already does this by hand.
Week 7: the first live decision — a same-day underwriting exception — clears CONFIRMED, and the risk committee sees a rendered audit trail instead of a Slack thread.
Week 10: we hand off. Your team owns the graph, and the next decision type is a platform license, not a new engagement.
Shape of the engagement
Ten weeks to the first live decision, then handoff.
The shadow run is the part that matters: the verification layer decides alongside the person who already does this by hand, and its labels earn trust against real outcomes before anything executes.
Weeks 1–3
Failure patterns your experts recognise by feel become traversals in the graph.
Weeks 3–7
Shadow run. Labels are scored against the analyst's own conclusions, not against a benchmark.
Weeks 7–10
First live decision, then handoff. The next decision type is a platform licence, not a new engagement.
Where the FDEs come from
Hetu Academy — Track A.
Decision Verification
Track A · 10 weeks · cohort-based
These engagements are staffed from Academy's Decision Verification track: causal reasoning, audit design, calibration, and a vertical elective. Trains the discipline the engagements run on, then staffs them at a lower blended cost.

Design partners
Bring the one decision you'd never let a self-serve trial near.
We start with a scoping call: what the decision is, who owns it today, and what wrong costs. Most engagements are live in weeks. Applying to Academy? Say so in the same email.
