How we work
Four steps. Nothing starts until the scope is signed, you control access, and a person approves any AI action that matters.
The four steps
- 1
Fit call
Thirty minutes. We confirm the sponsor, the trigger, the environment and whether a fixed-scope engagement is the right tool. If it is not, we say so.
- 2
Scope and SOW
Deliverables, exclusions, client responsibilities, access model and acceptance criteria, agreed before any commitment.
- 3
Senior-led delivery
Weekly evidence, early blockers, decisions tied to data. Least-privilege access and documented handling of your information.
- 4
Handover
Documented results, a prioritized roadmap, and a clear view of which follow-on work is justified and which is optional.
Predictable terms
Fixed fees for assessments, milestone payments for implementation, a defined change process. No open-ended retainers by default.
Access you control
Read-only first, scoped roles, named individuals, documented data handling. We work inside your guardrails, not around them.
Humans on high-risk actions
Evaluation suites, observability, cost limits and approval gates are part of the design, not a later phase.
Common questions
Do you only work on AWS?
We focus on AWS: our architecture, data and AI practices are built around AWS. We integrate with the identity providers, SaaS products and data platforms you already run. We do not position ourselves as a multi-cloud transformation firm.
Can we start small?
Yes. That is the purpose of the entry offers. The Strategy Workshop runs one to two weeks; the Architecture Review, Data & AI Readiness Assessment and Cloud Cost Review run two to four. Each ends with a decision and a roadmap, whether or not we do the follow-on work.
How do you price?
Fixed fees for assessments and milestone pricing for implementation. The final price depends on environment size, stakeholders, data access and production risk, and is set in the Statement of Work before work begins.
Will your work replace our team?
No. We work with your engineers, document the trade-offs and hand over. The goal is a decision and a capability you keep.
How do you handle access to our systems and data?
Read-only access first, named individuals, scoped roles and documented data handling. Production changes happen only inside an agreed change process with your approvals.
Where are you based?
Ribau is the brand of Ribau Technologies LLC, a Delaware company. We work with clients remotely, with on-site sessions where they add value.

Thirty minutes to understand the problem and whether a fixed-scope engagement makes sense.
