We quote a fixed price after one scoping call, against a written scope you keep whether or not you sign. Every engagement starts with the three-week Discovery Sprint, and the sprint is not invoiced if the thin slice is not running on your data by day 15.
Three weeks to an architecture, a costed roadmap and a working thin slice on your data.
A dedicated team shipping to production every two weeks against a roadmap you own.
We operate what we built under an SLA and keep improving it.
Multi-campus programmes that need a long-running product team.
Two 40 MW campuses can differ by a factor of five in integration work, depending on whether the EPMS speaks Modbus or a vendor API, whether commissioning lives in Procore or in spreadsheets, and how much of the power tree exists as data rather than a PDF.
So we do the cheap part first. One 30-minute call, then a written fixed-price scope within two working days. You keep the scope either way.
Book the callEvery deliverable is a file, a repository or a running system in your own environment. Nothing is a slide.
The highest-value piece of the eventual system, deployed in your cloud or on site, running on live data from one hall. Not a demo environment.
Every source we found: BMS, EPMS, DCIM, CRM, schedule. What each holds, its quality, its access path, and what is missing.
Target architecture, OT network plan with outbound-only collectors, data residency, identity, and what your security team will ask.
Collectors and the historian deployed and licensed for evaluation, so release one of a build starts from data, not from zero.
Releases in two-week increments, team shape, budget ranges, and the decisions each release unlocks. Includes buy recommendations where a product is the right answer.
Our honest recommendation in one page, presented to your decision-maker on day 15. Including “do not build this” when that is the answer.
Friday: audit draft and chosen slice
Friday: slice demo on live data
Day 15: readout, roadmap, go or no-go

Because a proposal is a guess and a prototype is evidence. Three weeks on your data tells both of us whether the idea works, what it will take, and whether we work well together. The sprint is credited if you continue.
Every engagement is scoped and quoted for your site after a short conversation about phase, systems and goals. Sprints are fixed scope; squads and retainers are monthly; programme teams are annual. Book a call and we will give you a fixed price for your site in two working days.
Yes, and we encourage it. Mixed squads are the fastest route to handover. We pair, review together and keep everything in your repositories from day one.
Asgharian Core is licensed to you for the deployment with source access. You keep running it, with or without us. There is no per-point or per-user metering to renegotiate.
For well-defined scopes after a sprint, yes. Most clients prefer a squad with a roadmap they control, because priorities change as the site progresses.
Engineers on your engagement are named, background-checked where required, and inducted on site. Remote work runs through your VPN or a bastion you control.
Tell us about the site and we will come back with a fixed-price scope in two working days.
