Agentic delivery for engineering leaders

Ship the product. Not the org chart.

Shipping one system used to mean fifteen roles, a quarter of coordination and a dozen handoffs. Three agents do it instead, and they take around 5% of the elapsed time: what a staffed team delivers in months, deployed in days. ChiefManager™ scopes, prices and contracts it. ChiefArchitect™ builds, integrates and deploys it. ChiefRelations™ supports it after go-live. You approve. They work.

02The path

Seven steps. No discovery phase.

Every step names the agent accountable for it, and the state it leaves the project in. These are the actual status values in the database, not a diagram.

  1. 01
    Intake
    ChiefManager

    Describe the problem in chat. No form to guess your way through, no discovery call to schedule.

  2. 02
    Classification
    ChiefManager

    The request is typed as Computer Vision, LLM, or Hybrid, and the prerequisites for that path open up.

  3. 03
    Scope & price
    ChiefManager

    Requirements become a fixed scope, a timeline, and a price with the complexity drivers shown in the open.

  4. 04
    Contract
    ChiefManager

    A Statement of Work is generated with acceptance criteria and change-order terms, ready for signature.

  5. 05
    Payment
    ChiefManager

    Card, ACH, wire or purchase order. Delivery does not start until payment is confirmed.

  6. 06
    Build & deploy
    ChiefArchitect

    Repositories, infrastructure and pipelines are generated and deployed to the target you specified.

  7. 07
    Run & support
    ChiefRelations

    ChiefRelations takes over at handover with the full project history, and stays the line your users talk to.

03What they build

If it can be specified, it can be built here.

Not a catalogue of two or three products. The agents scope from the problem you describe, these are the shapes that problem usually takes.

Vision systems

Turn camera, video and image feeds into events your systems can act on.

  • Defect and quality inspection
  • Safety and restricted-zone monitoring
  • Counting, tracking and throughput
  • Drone and inspection footage review

Knowledge & retrieval

Make what your organisation already knows answerable, with citations.

  • Assistants over internal documentation
  • Regulated policy and compliance lookup
  • Support deflection grounded in real sources
  • Search across systems that never talked

Workflow automation

Take the process that lives in inboxes and spreadsheets and make it run itself.

  • Approval and routing workflows
  • Document intake, extraction and filing
  • Reconciliation and exception handling
  • Agentic back-office processes

Data & analytics

Pipelines, models and the dashboards people actually open.

  • Ingestion and transformation pipelines
  • Forecasting and demand planning
  • Anomaly and drift detection
  • Operational reporting

Integration & platform

Connect the systems that were never designed to talk to each other.

  • ERP, MES and CRM integrations
  • API and event-driven middleware
  • Legacy system modernisation
  • Data migration with reconciliation

Applications & interfaces

The portal, console or tool the work is done in.

  • Internal operator consoles
  • Customer-facing portals
  • Conversational and voice interfaces
  • Mobile and field applications

What drives cost is not which row your project sits in. It is the constraints around it: compliance obligations, where it has to run, the scale it has to hold, and how fast it has to answer. Those apply across every row.

04Two ways to work with us

Have it delivered, or build on it yourself.

The same three agents, reachable two ways. Most companies pick one and some run both: delivered for the system they need now, embedded for the work their own engineers keep doing.

01
Delivered

You describe the problem. We deliver the system.

The three agents take your requirement all the way to a running system on your infrastructure: scoped, priced, contracted, built, deployed and supported. You never assemble a team, brief one, or wait on one.

You get
  • A fixed-scope statement of work before any money moves
  • Working software deployed to your cloud, VPC, on-premise or edge
  • The source, the infrastructure-as-code and the acceptance results
  • Full ownership of everything produced for you
  • Ongoing support from ChiefRelations after go-live
You do
  • Describe the problem in chat
  • Approve the scope and the price
  • Provide access to the systems it has to touch

Engineering leaders who need a system shipped and do not want to staff for it.

Start an intake
02
Embedded

Your team, with three more specialists in it.

Invoke ChiefManager, ChiefArchitect and ChiefRelations from your own environment over an API. Scope and price work, generate contracts, provision infrastructure, run delivery. Your engineers stay in control and stop reaching for a general-purpose chatbot for every task.

You get
  • API access to all three agents and the pricing engine
  • Schema-validated, versioned output with a confidence score on every call
  • Webhooks for signature, payment and deployment events
  • Self-hosting for air-gapped environments
  • Your data never used for training, by us or any model provider
You do
  • Authenticate and call the endpoints you need
  • Build your own surface on top, or use ours
  • Keep your own review and approval gates

Teams with engineers who want the capability inside their own workflow.

Talk to an engineer

Both are priced by the same engine, from the scope itself.

05The gate

Delivery cannot start before payment clears.

Not a policy in a document, a check in the code path, on every call. The API returns the blockers by name, and payment status can only change through a signature-verified webhook. A client cannot mark itself paid.

Contract must be SIGNED
confirmed by the e-sign provider webhook
Payment must be SUCCEEDED

Signatures verified in constant time

A signable SOW, generated server-side.

Thirteen fixed sections, including out-of-scope, acceptance criteria and change control, which is where fixed-price delivery usually goes wrong. The structure does not vary between engagements, so your legal team reviews it once.

# Statement of Work

**Reference:** SOW-2SLB7KXY  
**Version:** 1  
**Issued:** 2026-09-02T12:52:54.546Z  
**Client:** ChiefDeveloper Demo  
**Project:** Patient-fall detection

---

## 1. Executive Summary

ChiefDeveloper Demo engages ChiefDeveloper.ai to deliver a Computer Vision solution.
The engagement is scoped at **high complexity**
(1.5× multiplier), staffed with **7 agents**, over an
estimated **11 days**.

A conventionally staffed team delivers the same scope in roughly
**31 weeks**. This engagement targets **95% less
elapsed time** to develop and deploy. That figure is a commitment measured from the
start date in §6, not a marketing average.

This document is generated from the requirements captured during intake. The pricing below
is produced by the published formula in §7, no discretionary adjustment has been applied.

## 2. Problem & Objectives

- Scope driver: HIPAA compliance constraints detected
- Scope driver: onprem deployment target
- Scope driver: Real-time latency requirement
- Scope driver: 40 concurrent video streams

## 3. Scope

### In scope
- Ingestion of the agreed video or image sources
- Detection models for the agreed event classes
- Event storage with a query API
- Operations dashboard covering streams, alerts and model health
- Deployment to the agreed target environment

### Out of scope
- Purchase or installation of camera hardware
- Network changes required to reach the agreed sources
- Detection of event classes not listed in this document
- Retraining after acceptance, unless a support add-on is in force

Work not listed above is out of scope and requires a Change Order under §11.

## 4. Deliverables

- Architecture decision record
- Source repositories and infrastructure-as-code
- Deployed environment with a documented rollback path
- Acceptance test results and security scan report
- Operations dashboard access for nominated users

## 5. Architecture (high level)

The platform is model-agnostic: models are selected per task and swapped as better ones
ship, so the Client inherits no vendor dependency. No model provider retains or trains on
Client data, and prompts are scanned for credentials and redacted before any model call.
Agent output is schema-validated server-side and stored versioned with a confidence score,
so any generated decision is traceable to the input that produced it. Fully self-hosted
models are availab

07The team

Three specialists, not one generalist.

Each owns named steps and hands over specific artifacts. Accountability is explicit, so when output needs review you know which agent produced it.

ChiefManager™
Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Runs the deal and the plan, from first message to signed contract.

Responsibilities
  • Runs the intake conversation and asks for what is missing
  • Classifies the engagement and extracts constraints and compliance obligations
  • Derives complexity, agent count and timeline, then prices the scope
  • Generates the Statement of Work and issues it for signature
  • Collects payment before delivery is allowed to begin
  • Tracks milestones, reports into your tools, and re-prices change orders
Hands over
  • Intake transcript with cited requirements
  • Priced estimate with a complexity rationale
  • Countersigned Statement of Work
  • Milestone plan, synced into your workflow
ChiefArchitect™
Step 6

Takes the approved scope and ships the whole thing.

Responsibilities
  • Selects the reference architecture and writes the implementation
  • Generates repositories, infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD
  • Integrates the systems it has to read from and write to
  • Provisions the target: your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, or edge
  • Runs the acceptance suite and security scan before handover
Hands over
  • Architecture decision record
  • Source repositories and IaC
  • Deployed environment with rollback
  • Acceptance and security scan results
ChiefRelations™
Step 7

Knows the whole history, and answers for it after go-live.

Responsibilities
  • Owns the relationship from handover onward
  • Answers questions against the delivered system and its history
  • Triages incidents and escalates against the SLA
  • Reports health, usage and spend to the stakeholders who signed
  • Flags where the system has outgrown its scope, and raises a change order
Hands over
  • Support and incident history
  • Health, usage and spend reporting
  • Escalation and root-cause records
  • Change orders raised from real usage
08Deployment & security

It runs where your data is allowed to be.

The controls a vendor risk review asks for are in the platform as it stands, not on a roadmap.

Your cloud

AWS, Azure or GCP account you already own

Private VPC

No inbound access, egress you control

On-premise

Including fully air-gapped, offline bundles

Edge

NVIDIA Jetson or RTX at the line

Model-agnostic, and governed

The agents run on frontier models selected per task and swapped as better ones ship. You are not locked to a vendor, and no model retains your data. Every prompt is scanned for credentials and redacted before it leaves the platform. Agent output is schema-validated server-side and stored versioned with a confidence score, so any generated decision traces back to the input that produced it.

  • No vendor lock-in: models are selected per task and swappable
  • No training on your data, and no retention by the model provider
  • Credentials detected and redacted before any model call
  • Output schema-validated, versioned and traceable to its input
  • Fully self-hosted models available for air-gapped deployments

Bring a problem worth scoping.

Describe it once. You will see the scope, the drivers behind the price, and the contract terms before you commit to anything.
