Choose a defined engagement for the work your business has outgrown: scattered customer records, disconnected systems, or a critical application that needs ongoing care.
Discovery defines the exact quote, phases, and timing. Use the typical starting investments below to see where your needs fit.
A free call establishes fit. The Discovery Phase does the detailed work needed for a formal proposal. Each phase builds on a shared understanding of your operation.
Talk through the bottleneck, the business impact, and whether we’re a fit.

Discuss Ops CRM FoundationA fit when your core workflow needs a dependable home.
Your team knows the process. The software should make it easier to follow. We map how you sell, deliver, and follow up, then build the core workflows around your records, rules, and responsibilities.
Multiple entities, heavy legacy migration, regulated audit trails, or extensive integrations may require a higher quote or a separate phase.

Discuss Connected OperationsA fit when the handoffs between systems create the cost.
Keep useful tools. Connect the handoffs. Build a shared operational picture so your team can find the status, resolve the exception, and keep work moving without re-entering the same information.
Often paired with or added after Ops CRM Foundation. Vendor access, data quality, integration limits, and migration complexity are assessed in discovery.

Discuss Systems CareFor systems already built by 417 Solutions.
A system your business relies on needs a named owner. Systems Care gives applications we have built a defined plan for operation, maintenance, and steady improvement.
The hours bank, coverage, response window, and included infrastructure are written into the agreement. Major features and larger changes require a change order or new phase.
For the same operational teams: explore a practical AI opportunity, move toward a larger engagement, or improve an existing system with scoped freelance assistance.

Discuss a Build Assist blockAI implementation is scoped as part of a build or a defined improvement. Production rollout, additional workflows, and ongoing software or AI usage costs are agreed separately.
Stay informed about the AI developments that matter to your business. Get practical advice, review new opportunities, and keep a roadmap that evolves with your operation.
Explore the AI Knowledge PartnershipOngoing quarterly advisory engagement, scoped to your team.
A useful package makes priorities visible. Discovery Phase defines the scope, acceptance criteria, responsibilities, and costs needed for a formal proposal before implementation.
Unlimited features, unlimited revisions, and open-ended hourly work are not included. New needs are evaluated as a change order or another phase.
Third-party subscriptions, vendor fees, AI usage, data migration, and hosting needs are identified during discovery. Only items listed in the agreement are included.
Build timing depends on the agreed workflows, data, and access to your team. Multi-year speculative roadmaps are not bundled into the first engagement.
Start with the costly handoff, missing answer, or process your team keeps working around. You do not need a technical specification.
