Answers, organized.
What does Accord Innovation do?
Accord Innovation is an AI-native systems and engineering firm. You get production-grade automations, specialized software, autonomous agents, and reusable engines deployed directly to your infrastructure. You own 100% of the code, models, and intellectual property. Explore capabilities.
What is engine creation, and why is it the flagship offer?
Engine creation delivers a permanent, production-grade system that keeps producing on your infrastructure indefinitely, the machine, not just one-off output. It is the flagship offer because it represents maximum operational leverage: build once, scale output without headcount. Engine Creation.
How much does an AI project cost?
Pricing is fixed-price, phased, and tied directly to project milestones. Strategy sprints provide fixed-scope audits, foundations and custom builds are scoped per sprint, and autonomous engines run as milestone builds. Pricing is calibrated to quantifiable ROI, with zero billable hours or hidden scope creep. See the five tiers.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. Engagements price strictly to outcomes, not hours. All work is fixed-price and milestone-based, eliminating billable-hour incentives and unexpected cost inflation.
Who owns the IP and system assets?
You do. Every build is a glass-box system with full handover and zero lock-in. You own all code, prompt architectures, evaluation sets, and pipeline configurations.
How fast does a build reach production?
Weeks, not months. Fixed, two-week phased sprints ensure working software reaches production quickly, followed by iterative refinement against live telemetry. Book a discovery sprint.
How does an engagement begin?
Engagements begin with a discovery sprint. Technical audits identify high-leverage automation targets, returning a costed 90-day architectural roadmap and verifiable ROI model. Start with Strategy.
How is human oversight maintained?
All autonomous systems include deterministic governance gates. Execution pauses for human sign-off on exception states, high-risk actions, or low-confidence thresholds.
Who is this built for?
Primary focus is on high-growth founders, mid-market operators, and enterprise teams seeking to expand production capacity without proportional headcount expansion.
