# Putting AI in production takes proof.

> Putting AI in production in a small business takes proof: an approved plan, blocks already in service, tests, a simulation and a care plan.

A prototype takes an afternoon. An application that writes to your ERP has to be tested, backed up, monitored and maintained. Here is how we do it, on every project.

## From prototype to production

You may already have an in-house prototype: a workbook with macros, a script, an application put together with AI. It is often the best starting point, because it shows exactly what the team needs. What separates it from production:

- A trial on last month's data before writing to the ERP
- Automated tests on every change
- An encrypted off-site copy, every night
- Someone who maintains it, after the person who wrote it
- A log of every decision, with who and when

We start from what you built.

## Visiona Plan

What every project includes, from the first sprint.

- A versioned work plan that you approve
- One-week sprints, with the acceptance written first
- A demo every week, on your real data, in your application
- The code sits in an account in your name (GitHub): any other team can take it over
- Every write to your systems starts in simulation (dry run), then on last month's data, then for one team, then for everyone
- One-click approvals, with the evidence and the rule that flagged the case
- A Services page: every automatic job, its runs and its AI cost per item
- Sign-in with your Microsoft or Google identity, with roles from your groups
- An encrypted off-site copy every night, in your own storage
- In French and English
- Works at phone width, installable on phone and computer
- The build number at the foot of every screen

## Proven building blocks

Proven building blocks and proven UI/UX: screens, flows and components already in production with our clients, with the same navigation in every app. Your first sprint does not start from a blank page: it delivers on your real data.

- Connections to your systems
- Approvals and their log
- Simulation before any write
- The Services page
- Encrypted backups
- Sign-in with your identity
- Messages in French and English
- The same navigation in every application

## Tested, proven sprints

Nothing reaches production without proof.

- Tests on every change, on data shaped like yours
- No change goes live if a single automated test fails
- A code review before each sprint is delivered
- A simulation on last month's data before every release

## Care plan

**$299 per month**

An application in production needs care. The plan covers what is done every month, without you having to ask.

- Security patches, each approved by a person
- The software components updated every month
- Updates to our proven building blocks
- A health check every 90 seconds
- Backup supervision: an off-site copy running late, a schedule switched off, named backups near the cap, and your account manager is told
- A test restore of a backup every month
- A monthly report
- High availability, as an add-on

## The four steps of every project

Every project and every weekly report follow the same steps. A sprint crosses all four for one narrow case, rather than finishing one step for everything.

1. **Connect** Your data flows in on a schedule, and the counts reconcile with the source.
2. **Rules** Your rules run on last month's data and match what the team did by hand, every gap explained.
3. **Actions** Approvals, automations and writes to your systems: in simulation, approved by you, then live for one team.
4. **Monitoring** The team sees what the brain did and why, and we are alerted before you are.
