Outcome-driven AI consulting

AI consulting with a guarantee: no performance, no pay.

AppliedWorks AI builds AI that moves a measurable number—LLMs, fine-tuned models, governed agents and machine learning, delivered to production for consumer products and enterprise workflows in any industry. We define the result together. If we don't hit it, you don't pay.

95%

of enterprise AI pilots deliver zero return.

MIT research found that despite $30–40 billion invested, 95% of corporate generative AI initiatives show no measurable P&L impact. The causes aren't the models. They're brittle workflows, weak data foundations and consultants paid for effort instead of results.

We get paid when the agreed outcome is achieved.

  1. 01

    Assess

    A free AI assessment identifies where AI can produce a measurable result in your business—and where it can't.

  2. 02

    Define the outcome

    We agree on the metric, baseline, target, measurement method and timeline. In writing, before work begins.

  3. 03

    Build & deliver

    One senior team builds, integrates and deploys to production—not to a pilot report or a slide deck.

  4. 04

    Pay on performance

    Fees are tied to hitting the agreed outcome. Miss it, and you don't pay the performance fee.

See the full engagement model

Every facet of AI and machine learning. One team owns the result.

From fine-tuning a model to governing an agent fleet, every service follows the same rule: define a measurable outcome before the work begins, then make our fee depend on delivering it.

S.01

AI Strategy & Transformation

Opportunity assessments across every function, roadmaps tied to P&L impact, build-vs-buy and model selection, operating model design and rescue plans for stalled pilots.

Outcome: a prioritized AI roadmap with quantified business cases.

S.02

LLM Engineering: RAG, Fine-Tuning & Custom Models

Production RAG over your knowledge, supervised and preference fine-tuning, distillation into smaller private models, prompt and context engineering, and inference cost optimization.

Outcome: a domain-tuned model or copilot with measured accuracy and cost per answer.

S.03

Governed AI Agents

Agents and multi-agent workflows that use your tools and systems to execute real processes—bounded by permissions, approval gates, audit trails and human-in-the-loop controls.

Outcome: an agent workflow handling an agreed volume end-to-end, within policy.

S.04

AI Safety, Evaluation & Red-Teaming

Evaluation harnesses, hallucination and bias testing, jailbreak and prompt-injection red-teaming, guardrails, PII protection and production monitoring for LLM and agent systems.

Outcome: a release gate with agreed safety and quality thresholds.

S.05

Machine Learning & MLOps

Forecasting, classification, recommendation, pricing, fraud and anomaly detection, optimization and predictive maintenance—plus the pipelines, monitoring and retraining that keep models reliable.

Outcome: a monitored model in production hitting an agreed metric.

S.06

Generative & Multimodal AI

Image and video generation, computer vision, document understanding, speech and voice interfaces—tuned to your brand, your data and your latency budget.

Outcome: a multimodal feature shipped with measured quality and adoption.

S.07

AI Product Engineering: Consumer & B2B

Full-stack AI products from concept to launch—UX, models, data, infrastructure and analytics. The same team that shipped our four products builds yours.

Outcome: a launched AI product with agreed activation or revenue targets.

S.08

AI Governance, Risk & Compliance

AI inventories, risk classification, EU AI Act and ISO 42001 readiness, model risk management, technical controls and post-market monitoring playbooks.

Outcome: an auditable governance program delivered to deadline.

From the app in your customer's hand to the asset on your floor.

Our four products span consumer apps to industrial operations. The same disciplines—data, fine-tuning, evaluation, guardrails, deployment and monitoring—apply to whichever workflow you need to move.

No performance, no pay. Here's exactly how that works.

Traditional consulting bills for time. We get paid when the agreed outcome is achieved. That changes which projects we take, how we scope them and how hard we push to production.

  1. W.01

    Free AI assessment 1–2 weeks

    We review your goals, data, systems and constraints. You get an honest opinion on where AI can move a measurable number—and where it can't.

  2. W.02

    Outcome definition

    Together we write the outcome contract: metric, baseline, target, measurement method, shared responsibilities and timeline.

  3. W.03

    Delivery

    Our team builds the data foundations, models, integrations and deployment. Progress stays visible against production milestones.

  4. W.04

    Measurement & payment

    The result is measured against the agreed baseline. Hit it: full fee. Miss it: you don't pay the performance fee.

  5. W.05

    Operate & improve Optional

    Models drift and businesses change. We can continue with monitoring, retraining and expansion under a monthly retainer.

We decline work when the outcome can't be measured.

The model requires clear access to data and systems, a business sponsor and a measurable baseline. That honesty is the point.

What counts as an outcome?

A number we can measure: downtime hours, processing time, cost per case, forecast error, resolution rate or a defined compliance milestone.

What if the outcome depends on things you don't control?

The outcome contract defines shared responsibilities and assumptions up front. If a dependency changes, we flag it early and re-scope instead of letting the project drift.

Do you charge anything up front?

The structure varies by engagement. It may be a cost-covering base plus performance fee, or fully contingent for tightly scoped projects. The exact split is documented before work begins.

What size projects do you take?

From focused 8–12 week pilots to multi-phase transformation programs.

Industry-agnostic. Outcome-specific.

The models change; the method doesn't. Wherever a workflow has data, decisions and a number worth moving, we can apply AI to it—a consumer app's conversion rate, a claims team's cycle time, a lender's loss rate or a plant's unplanned downtime.

The consultancy we'd want to hire.

AppliedWorks AI was founded on a simple frustration: enterprises spend billions on AI, most pilots return nothing, and the consultants get paid either way. We put our fees where our promises are—and we prove our capability with products we've shipped ourselves.

  1. 01

    Outcome-based fees

    Our economics are connected to yours.

  2. 02

    Builders, not deck-makers

    Four shipped products across consumer, enterprise and industrial AI.

  3. 03

    Production-first

    Every engagement is scoped to end in production.

  4. 04

    Honest scoping

    We say no when the outcome isn't achievable or measurable.
