   Deployed, evaluated custom model with recorded training runs and review gates

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, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. Final model release, data rights and production deployment remain human decisions. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Dataset and base-model setup, Training run monitor, Evaluation and release gate. Use a project list, a central run view with loss and cost curves, and a right-hand panel for datasets, prompts, evaluators and comments. Let users compare runs and model versions side by side. Display draft, training, evaluated and released states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant run or evaluation case. Make the task-specific outcome a deployed, evaluated custom model visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, dataset versions, run history, prompt and evaluator versions, approval states, usage allowances, credit balances, download history and a rights record for supplied data. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Customer-owned datasets, code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, editors and development environments, model providers and cloud storage. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct deployment. 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

   7 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: configure fine-tuning without writing code; augment a small example set into a larger training dataset. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   8 days

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

4. 4

   Full product

   3 weeks

   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 product and platform teams that need a tuned model on their own data but lack ML infrastructure staff use it to solve "teams cannot fine-tune, evaluate and deploy a model on their own data without renting several tools and hiring scarce ML engineers"?
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: Accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release.
4. Measure, then decide. Track accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release; 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 dataset, one base model and one evaluation set; final release and data-rights checks remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: configure fine-tuning without writing code; augment a small example set into a larger training dataset. Support the remaining modules with operator review: train, evaluate, gate and deploy. 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 data types and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around the deployed, evaluated custom model. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved dataset, one base model and one evaluation set; final release and data-rights checks remain human.

What the build depends on. Dataset upload and preview, asynchronous training jobs, run version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist ML QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved dataset, one base model and one evaluation set; final release and data-rights checks remain human.

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

A rough indication of monthly hosting and AI model costs once it is live, not tested. Real costs depend on usage, file sizes and the models chosen.

Your brand, or this one

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

Pricing to test

Test a USD 2,000-8,000 fixed pilot for one defined model project. Offer a monthly training and deployment allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multimodal or high-volume training separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded deployed, evaluated custom model. 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 the engineering effort to reach a deployed, evaluated custom model. Demonstrate a concrete deployed, evaluated custom model using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Product and platform team professional communities; specialist ML consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant developer or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample deployed, evaluated custom model from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five product and platform teams that need a tuned model on their own data but lack ML infrastructure staff and inspect a recent example of being unable to fine-tune, evaluate and deploy a model on their own data without renting several tools and hiring scarce ML engineers.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the stated task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release, 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: Accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release. 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

Accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs a deployed, evaluated custom model. 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 datasets, training configurations, evaluator suites and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow technical niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for product and platform teams that need a tuned model on their own data but lack ML infrastructure staff. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

TuneTrain.ai, Maruti.io, BilberryDB, Vertical AI, Soup CLI, Unsloth and Humanloop, plus internal scripts and freelance ML engineers. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted evaluation cases per engineering hour and regressions caught before release. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

GPU and inference compute, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source data. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of the deployed, evaluated custom model. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve data rights, source attribution, license terms and usage permissions. Named owners approve model release and deployment scope. One approved dataset, one base model and one evaluation set; final release and data-rights checks remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
