Context System Blueprint
What domain knowledge needs to flow into AI interactions, and how. A design for the shared context, reliable workflows, and developer tooling that make AI useful beyond ad-hoc prompting.
Context Build
Build the world model your AI tools need to be useful.
A two-week engagement that designs the context system — the infrastructure that feeds your domain knowledge, team conventions, and codebase patterns into every AI interaction. The foundation for everything that comes after.
01
Four things happen
1
Stakeholder interviews
I talk to your engineering leads, product managers, and ops people. Not a survey, but real conversations about how they're using AI, where they're hitting walls, and what would actually help. This is where the real blockers (and the real opportunities) surface.
2
Tool and spend audit
I map every AI tool, every seat, every subscription. Who's using what, how often, and whether it's doing anything useful. You're probably paying for more AI tooling than you realize.
3
Context system diagnosis
I evaluate what's in place, and what's missing, between your AI tools and how your team actually ships. Shared context, standard workflows, CI/CD integration, developer tooling. Most teams have none of this. That's why adoption stalls at the individual level.
4
Blocker identification
Adoption stalls for specific reasons, often structural, not motivational. I find out which blockers are in your way (missing systems, cultural resistance, knowledge silos, tooling gaps) and how severe they are.

What happens next
The Context Build is designed to feed into an Orchestration Build, where we build the agent coordination layer the blueprint calls for. But there's no obligation. You get the deliverables either way.
Some teams take the Context Build and build internally. That's fine. The quick wins alone tend to pay for the engagement. If you want to keep going, the Context Build gives us a clear starting point with no re-discovery and no wasted time.

Investment
| Team Size | Price |
|---|---|
| 5–20 people, 1-2 squads | $10,000 |
| 20–80 people, 3-6 squads | $12,500 |
| 80+ people, multi-department | $15,000 |
Founding client rate: $7,000–$10,000 for the first 3-5 clients, in exchange for a case study and testimonial. Mention it on the call.
I'll give you an exact number after a 30-minute call. No hourly billing surprises, no change orders.
05
Common questions
What access do you need?
Stakeholder time (30-minute interviews with 3–5 people), plus tool admin access for the audit. I'll provide a specific list after the kickoff call.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, standard mutual NDA before any access is granted. I can use yours or provide mine.
What if we want to build internally after?
That's fine. The deliverables are designed to be actionable without me. Some teams take the Context Build and handle the rest internally — the quick wins alone tend to pay for the engagement.
