10Questions
Questions before you choose a solution
Understand the scope, cost, access and next steps before committing.
A solution is a fixed-scope engagement with named deliverables and an agreed end. At unicrew, it can produce an assessment, a working pilot or a first release.
The scope and outputs are agreed in writing before work begins. You can act on them with your own team or continue with ours. Legacy Software Rescue starts with a scoped assessment; recovery delivery is agreed separately.
A solution packages a particular result, such as an assessment, pilot or first release. Our services provide the capabilities for wider delivery: custom software development, AI engineering, QA and dedicated teams. You can start with a solution or agree a fuller service engagement directly.
The price depends on the offer and its scope. We confirm it in writing before work begins. The AI Readiness Assessment has a fixed fee; recovery delivery in a software rescue is quoted after the initial assessment.
Across our work, we offer three engagement models:
- time and materials, billed hourly and quoted per project
- fixed price, outcome based and quoted per project
- team extension, billed monthly per team member
Between four and ten hours of your team's time in total, depending on the offer. You help agree the scope, arrange access and explain the systems or product decisions involved.
Three offers publish a delivery window: the AI Readiness Assessment takes two weeks from kickoff to readout, the Conversation Intelligence Pilot takes 30 days, and MVP in 6 Weeks takes six weeks.
The cloud audit, security sprint and software rescue agree their timeframe at scoping, in writing. Most engagements start within two to four weeks of signature; that start window is separate from delivery time.
The assessments and audits use agreed read-only access and do not build integrations into your production systems.
A conversation pilot or MVP can include an integration where it is agreed in scope. Rescue delivery works inside the systems needed to restore releases, with access and changes scoped separately. The chosen offer determines the integration work.
We sign an NDA before any access. Assessments and audits use read-only, least-privilege access agreed with your technical contact. Access for a pilot, build or rescue is scoped separately in writing to match the work.
The deliverables are yours to use with your own team or with unicrew. If you continue with us, the findings and costed next step inform the scope of the next engagement. You decide whether to proceed.
Choose by the result you need:
- To assess an AI investment, start with the AI Readiness Assessment.
- To validate a conversation workflow or launch a first product version, choose the Conversation Intelligence Pilot or MVP in 6 Weeks.
- To recover delivery or assess cloud spend, choose Legacy Software Rescue or the Cloud Cost and AI-Readiness Audit.
- To prepare product evidence for a buyer or auditor, choose the Security and Compliance Readiness Sprint.
A recommendation to defer or stop is a valid assessment outcome. The findings explain the reasoning and any data, architecture or access work needed before the investment can proceed. You leave with a documented basis for the decision.
