   Reviewed, searchable selection record linked to evidence

AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, licence checks and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved source set and licence policy; final model selection and code acceptance remain engineering decisions. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Source and constraint setup, Searchable model library, Comparison and evaluation console, Editor assistant settings. Use a filterable table for models, a side-by-side comparison view, and a right-hand panel for evidence, tags and review notes. Let users compare versions of an evaluation side by side. Display draft, reviewed and approved states. Provide a shareable team link with comments anchored to the relevant model or snippet. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed, searchable selection record linked to evidence visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, source versions, team comments, approval states, licence allowances, evaluation limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Team-owned repositories, authorized model directories and permitted research feeds. Cloud code storage, editor and IDE import/export and approved API destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   4 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: ingest model metadata from permitted directories and feeds; search, filter and sort models by task, licence, cost field and update date. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   5 days

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   10 days

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will engineering leads and developers choosing AI models and coding assistants for their projects use it to solve "model and coding-assistant options are scattered across directories, comparison pages and editor plugins, so teams cannot compare them on their own criteria or keep the record current"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption.
4. Measure, then decide. Track shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved source set and licence policy; final model selection and code acceptance remain engineering decisions. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: ingest model metadata from permitted directories and feeds; search, filter and sort models by task, licence, cost field and update date. Support the comparison module with operator review: compare models side by side on team-defined criteria. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around the reviewed selection record. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved source set and licence policy; final model selection and code acceptance remain engineering decisions.

What the build depends on. Source upload and preview, asynchronous ingestion jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity evaluation requires engineering QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved source set and licence policy; final model selection and code acceptance remain engineering decisions.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined source and evaluation package. Offer a monthly team allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex integrations or custom model adaptation separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed selection record. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce selection time and rework while keeping the team's own evaluation record. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed selection record using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Engineering leads and developer professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant developer or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample selection record from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five engineering leads and developers choosing AI models and coding assistants and inspect a recent example of scattered options and stale comparison records.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs a reviewed selection record. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved sources, licence rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow engineering niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for engineering leads and developers choosing AI models and coding assistants. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Replicate Codex, Countless.dev, LLM List and BetterAI, plus manual directory browsing and editor plugins. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on shortlisted models per evaluation hour and re-selections after adoption. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Source ingestion, model and code processing, storage, reviewer hours, team revision rounds and licensed source material. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of the reviewed selection record. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve source attribution, licence terms and usage permissions. Engineering owners approve substantive selections and code acceptance. One approved source set and licence policy; final model selection and code acceptance remain engineering decisions. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
