Pilot build · $30–60K · 6–8 weeks

One agent. One workflow. Proven on your numbers.

A pilot is a working agent on your real workflow, judged against a success metric we agree on before a line of code gets written. It runs in production, next to your team, doing the actual job.

In short

A Pilot Build costs $30,000–$60,000 and takes 6–8 weeks. LooseEnds AI builds one AI agent for one workflow (quoting, document processing, forecasting, follow-ups) and measures it against the ROI projection from your Opportunity Audit.

The process

Fixed scope, visible progress

1

Scope (week 1)

We lock the workflow, the integrations, and the success metric. For example, "median quote turnaround under 30 minutes" or "95% of invoices processed untouched."

2

Build (weeks 2–6)

The agent is built against your real systems and data. You see it working on real cases every week, not in a slide review at the end.

3

Prove (weeks 7–8)

The agent runs live alongside your team. We measure it against the metric. If it hits, we talk about running it for you. If it doesn't, you know exactly why, in weeks instead of quarters.

What a pilot is not

No demo environment. No strategy deck at the end. No six-month transformation program with a steering committee. A pilot is one bounded piece of work with a price, a deadline, and a number it has to hit, and that constraint is the point. The fastest way to learn what AI is worth in your business is to watch one real agent do one real job and measure what happens.

Most pilots follow an Opportunity Audit, because the audit's ROI math is what sets the pilot's success metric. Already know your workflow? Talk to us about scoping directly.
