Answers, organized.
What does Accord Innovation do?
Accord is an AI-native creation and automation firm. We build the automations, software, agents, and reusable engines that produce brands, content, and companies, so you scale output without scaling headcount. You own what we build. See our services.
What is engine creation, and why is it your flagship?
Engine creation means we build a reusable, production-grade system that keeps producing after we leave, the machine, not just one-off output. It is our flagship because it is the highest-leverage way to scale: build once, sell or run many. Engine Creation.
How much does an AI project cost?
It depends on the tier and the scope. Strategy and discovery is a short fixed-scope engagement, foundations and builds are priced per sprint or per project, and autonomous systems run as a phased build or a monthly managed engagement. Engine creation is priced to value. Tell us what you are trying to move and we will quote it. See the five tiers.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. We price to outcomes, not hours. Engagements are fixed-price and phased, with a hybrid model where it fits: a base fee plus usage or a performance kicker.
Who owns the IP you build?
You do. Every build is a glass-box system with full handover and no lock-in. You own the code, the prompts, and the system.
How fast can you ship?
Weeks, not months. We work in fixed, phased sprints so you reach a working system in production quickly, then iterate from real usage. Book a discovery sprint.
How do we start working together?
Start with a discovery sprint. We audit where AI pays off for you, map the opportunities by leverage, and give you a costed 90-day roadmap and ROI model you can act on, or take anywhere. Start with Strategy.
Do you keep humans in the loop?
Yes. Our autonomous systems are governed: they pause for human review on high-risk, exception, or low-confidence outputs, so you get autonomy without losing control.
Who do you work with?
We lead with founders and small-to-growth businesses, and we serve mid-market and enterprise too. If you want to grow output without growing headcount, you fit.
