Protocol SPR-001 — Controlled Proof

Prove one AI workflow before you fund production.

CodyHire gives product and technology leaders a controlled working prototype, acceptance evidence, and a production roadmap in 10 business days. If the proof is strong, the same U.S.-based team can build the production system.

AI Proof Sprint — $5,000 fixed, 50% to start. The Proof Sprint produces a controlled working prototype. It does not include a production application, live pilot, SLA, or formal compliance.

One decision at the end: build, revise, or stop.

You have an AI use case that could change your product, operations, or business model. What you do not have yet is the evidence to justify a production investment. CodyHire narrows the first commitment to one bounded workflow, one controlled prototype, and one decision: does the evidence support building, revising, or stopping?

The sprint produces working proof in a sandbox or controlled environment. It documents what worked, what did not, and what would still be required for production. The result is a clearer next step — not a premature production promise.

Start with proof. Build when the evidence is strong.

A prototype is not a pilot or a production system.

A controlled prototype demonstrates core behavior in a sandbox. A pilot runs with real users under monitored conditions. A production system operates live with security, monitoring, failure handling, and ongoing support.

The Proof Sprint delivers the first. If the evidence supports proceeding, the separately scoped Production Build delivers the third. The second — a pilot — may be part of a Production Build where real-user exposure is required.

This is not a semantic distinction. It determines what you can rely on at each stage and what remains to be built.

U.S.-based delivery with one decision owner per engagement.

CodyHire is a U.S.-based AI development partner. Every engagement has a defined decision owner who can approve scope, feedback, and payment. There are no account managers, no handoffs to offshore teams, and no hidden layers.

Location: CodyHire LLC, Pleasant Grove, Utah. Remote delivery throughout the United States.

About CodyHire →

A strong fit if you can answer yes to these questions.

Good fit

  • Do you have one specific AI workflow, product interaction, or agent behavior to test?
  • Can you name the intended user and the action or decision AI should support?
  • Do you have relevant sample data, content, API access, or system access available?
  • Is there a clear question the proof must answer and acceptance criteria that can be observed?
  • Can a decision and payment owner participate during the 10-business-day sprint?
  • Is the $2,500 signing deposit within budget?

Probably not a fit

  • You expect a complete production application from the Proof Sprint.
  • You need to test several unrelated ideas in the same engagement.
  • The work requires a large data-cleaning, model-training, or legacy-integration program.
  • You need production availability, enterprise security, formal compliance, or an SLA.
  • You need guaranteed ROI, adoption, funding, revenue, or cost savings.
