Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI development projects and working together

What happened to Circinaut? Wasn't that you?

It was! Circinaut was my previous consulting business for several years, but as I found that more and more of my time was spent consulting on AI projects, I decided to rebrand to help businesses understand what I do.

How much does something like this cost?

Most initial projects range from $15K-50K depending on complexity. We start with clear scope and budget before any work begins. Many clients start with a smaller proof-of-concept ($5K-15K) to test the concept.

How long does it take?

A focused initial solution typically takes 4-8 weeks from agreement to deployment. We can often have a working prototype in 2-3 weeks to validate the approach.

What if it doesn't work or we don't like it?

We start small for exactly this reason. The initial project is designed to prove value quickly. If it doesn't work, you haven't invested in a massive implementation.

Do I need to understand AI or be technical?

No. You need to understand your business problems. I handle the technical translation.

Will this integrate with our existing systems?

Yes—that's essential for any solution to be useful. I work with your current tech stack (CRM, databases, tools) rather than requiring you to change everything.

What about data security and privacy?

Security is built-in from day one. I have CISSP certification and SOC2 compliance experience. Your data stays yours and stays protected.
