Engagements

Three ways to work together. One outcome bias.

Start with a fixed-scope Sprint: one high-impact use case, shipped to production. Scale into custom-quoted work priced on the value at stake. You keep the system, and the team to run it.

Currently at capacity
Hire, or ship?

Full-time hire, or a Pilot?

A full-time AI hire wins once you have 12+ months of continuous work. For one scoped outcome, or before you are sure, the honest first-year math looks like this. Drag it to fit your case.

Rough model, not a quote. Salary ranges from published FDE bands (OpenAI ~$220-280k, Google ~$127-265k) adjusted for a Swiss senior hire; loading and timelines are your call. The point is the shape, not the decimal.
Discovery call You are not sure yet whether AI applies, whether to build vs buy, or whether I'm the right person. The quickest way to find out. Book a 30-min call
Ship the full system

Engagement

How any of these engagements runs

01
Pick one high-impact use case

A free 30-min call to confirm fit, then the Sprint’s first days lock the one outcome that matters and what shipped looks like.

02
Ship it to production

I build in the open, in your stack, with weekly working software. No black box, no surprises.

03
Your team owns it

Docs, evals, paired coaching, and the reasoning, not just the code. Your team can run and extend it after I leave.

Note

All prices in CHF, ex-VAT. Invoiced from Anand Creations (Zurich area, Switzerland). Happy to bill in EUR or USD at the spot rate on invoice date. I work directly with teams in CH, the EU, and the US, and can route through your usual procurement. The AI Transformation Sprint is invoiced on booking. For multi-quarter engagements or equity-adjusted arrangements, write to me. Sensible exceptions are possible if the work is right.

FAQ

What is the AI Transformation Sprint?

Three weeks to ship one high-impact AI use case to production, with an evaluation harness, a cost model, and an honest go / no-go. It works whether the bet is a sales agent, an internal AI system, or a product feature. Most engagements start here, then grow into a full build or a Fractional lead if the numbers land.

Why fixed-scope packages instead of hourly?

Because hourly billing rewards slow work. I charge for the outcome: a shipped feature, a hired team, a decision you can defend. You always know what you are getting and what it costs.

Why custom quotes for the full build and Fractional?

Scope variance is large. A focused 6-week build for an experienced team and a 12-week build for a less experienced one are different engagements. Custom quotes let me price on the value of the outcome instead of pretending one number fits every case.

What if my problem does not fit any of these?

Start with the free 30-minute discovery call. If it is worth scoping, the AI Transformation Sprint gives us a shared, shipped starting point, and the work rolls into a full build or Fractional engagement if we keep going.

Do you sign NDAs and work through procurement?

Yes. I have shipped inside enterprises for a decade and am used to security reviews, DPAs, and procurement timelines. Anand Creations is Swiss based and happy to work through your standard contracting process.

Do you work with US clients across time zones?

Yes. I overlap mornings CET with US East-coast afternoons, and have shipped with US teams before. For US engagements I default to weekly demos and async written updates so the time delta works for us, not against us.

Can you augment my existing team?

Yes. Fractional AI lead is exactly that. I take ownership of AI execution while your engineers level up, then hand off cleanly when your team can run it.

What stacks do you work in?

Python, Java, TypeScript, Vue, FastAPI, LangChain / CrewAI / Strands, OpenAI / Anthropic / Vertex, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, GCP / AWS. I adapt to your stack rather than impose mine.

Not sure which fits?

A 30-minute call costs you nothing. I will tell you straight which package, if any, is right.
