You own it.
We just run it.

An optional monthly contract after a Build. We host the system, monitor it, swap models when needed, and respond to incidents. The keys are always on the table. 30 days' notice and we hand it back, with the documentation already current.

Why this exists
For when your team
doesn't want to operate it.
After a Build, the default is your team takes over. Some clients don't have ops capacity. Some don't want it. Operate exists for them. But with one rule that most managed-service contracts skip: you can take it back any month. The handback artifact stays current the whole time. Walking away is a feature, not a paperwork project.
01 · SCOPE

What's included.
What's not.

Operate is scope-defined, not activity-based. Rule 05 holds: capped, narrow, terminable monthly. We don't sell "general AI partnership"; we sell named operations on a named system.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
  • Hosting on agreed infrastructure (EU-first when available)
  • Monitoring, eval drift checks, alert response
  • Model swaps & sub-processor updates
  • On-call window for production incidents
  • Quarterly review & cost report
  • Handback artifact kept current as we go
WHAT'S NOT
  • New features (that's a new Build)
  • Unlimited support hours
  • Anything outside the named scope
  • General AI advisory / "office hours"
  • Reactive scope changes without a contract amendment
Sold as scope-defined, not activity-based. Rule 05.
02 · TRANSFER RIGHT

The clause
most contracts skip.

Every Operate contract includes four clauses that make "you own it" real. Most managed-service shops claim ownership transfer in marketing but not in the contract. We put it in the contract.

01
30-day handback
Request return of operations any month. No penalty. No exit fee. No "transition consulting" line item.
02
Current handback artifact
IaC, runbooks, credentials rotation procedure, sub-processor list. Updated as we go, not generated at the door. Reviewable at any time.
03
Data & IP yours, always
We operate; we don't accumulate. No joint ownership. No "derived data" carve-outs. No model training on your data.
04
Documented releases
Every release notes what's needed to operate it elsewhere. Walking away is a feature, not a paperwork project.
Honest math
From €60/month
is the floor.
€60/month covers the smallest workflows. Low traffic, minimal API spend, light monitoring. Realistic Operate engagements range from €60 to a few hundred per month depending on traffic, on-call window, and infrastructure footprint. We quote alongside the Build, scoped before you sign. No surprise invoices.
After a Build, what's next?
Self-operate or buy Operate.
We'll quote both.
