How does an engagement with Binary AI Labs work?

Three stages: a discovery sprint to establish what to build, a build phase alongside your engineers, and a hand-off that leaves your team able to run and extend the system without us. The people who scope the work are the people who do it — there is no account layer between you and the engineering.

Building alongside your team rather than in isolation is a deliberate constraint. Systems delivered over the wall get maintained badly, because nobody internal understands the decisions behind them.

Hand-off is a phase with its own deliverables — runbooks, eval suites, architecture documentation — not an email at the end. If your team cannot debug the system on their own, the engagement is not finished.
