How It Works — Summit City AI
Summit City AI

How it works

Five steps. Start small.

01

Questionnaire

Start with a short questionnaire about how your business runs — the tools you use, the tasks that eat your week, where things pile up. Fifteen minutes, from your desk. Free, and nothing to sign.

02

Report & quote

We turn your answers into a plain-language first report: the handful of processes most worth modernizing, and a fixed quote for a full on-site assessment. You decide whether to go further — nothing automatic, nothing recurring.

03

Embed & assess

We come in and work alongside your people, mapping how work actually gets done and where time and money leak. You get the full report: every process worth modernizing, in priority order, with what we'd build and what it would cost.

04

Build & deploy

Custom software and AI, built for your exact process and delivered in weeks, not quarters. Fixed-scope, itemized quotes. Your team trained in person — running on your premises, or wired to a frontier model under hard spend caps.

05

Keep you current

AI doesn't stand still, so neither do your tools. As models improve, we upgrade what we built. The first year of upkeep is included; after that it's service hours when you want something — never a forced subscription. You never read a release note.

Deployment

You choose. We configure the limits.

On your premises

Your data never leaves the building.

Solutions can run on hardware you own, on your network, with local AI. No per-seat fees, and nothing leaves your walls unless you say so.

Cloud-connected

Pay for what you use, with a ceiling.

When a task genuinely needs a frontier model, we wire it in with hard spend caps and usage limits — and you pay the provider directly, at cost.

Straight answers

Questions owners ask.

Do I have to commit to anything to start?

No. The questionnaire and the first report are free. You only pay if you decide to go ahead with an on-site assessment or a build.

Will my data leave the building?

Only if you want it to. Most solutions can run entirely on hardware you own, with local AI. When a task genuinely needs a frontier model, we wire it in with hard spend caps — and tell you first.

What happens when a new model comes out?

That's our job, not yours. The first year of upkeep is included, and we upgrade what we built as the technology moves.

Am I locked into a subscription?

No. After the first year it's service hours when you want something. Nothing forced, nothing recurring by default.

How fast do you deliver?

Builds are scoped in weeks, not quarters — and quoted fixed-scope, in writing, before we start.
