How a SnowRock AI engagement works
Every SnowRock engagement runs four stages in two weeks to three months: diagnostic, decision, build, handover. The client owns the code, the prompts, and the models at the end.
Stage one, diagnostic, days 1 to 10
A census of the manual work inside the business: what gets done by hand, how often, by whom, and what it costs in hours. Data readiness is checked against the systems already in place.
- A census of the manual work inside the business
- Data readiness notes per system
- A scored shortlist of use cases, ranked by payback and risk
Stage two, decision, end of week two
Every candidate use case gets a build, buy, or wait decision with the reasoning written down. Many come back as buy or wait.
- Build, buy, or wait on each use case
- A scope and fixed timeline for whatever gets built
- The measure used to decide whether it worked
Stage three, build, two weeks to three months
The same people who ran the diagnostic build the system on the stack the client already pays for. No junior handoff, no subcontractors, no new platform to rent.
- A working system in production, not a prototype
- An evaluation set that proves it behaves
- Integration with the tools the team already uses daily
Stage four, handover, final week
Code, prompts, model choices, evaluation sets, and documentation transfer to the client. Ongoing support is a separate agreement, not a dependency baked into the build.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a SnowRock engagement take?
Two weeks to three months. The diagnostic is about ten working days, and most builds land within a month after that.
Who owns what SnowRock builds?
The client. Code, prompts, model choices, evaluation sets, and documentation transfer at handover, with no SnowRock platform in the middle.
Does SnowRock work on our existing stack?
Yes. SnowRock builds on the systems a company already runs rather than requiring a migration.
What if the honest answer is not to build anything?
That is a valid outcome and it comes with reasoning. Many use cases come back as buy an existing tool, or wait.
Who is SnowRock a bad fit for?
Fortune 500 transformation programs, and anyone who wants a strategy deck without the implementation.
