# Solution Design

A short, fixed-fee first engagement: we analyze how your team works and design a solution you will own, with a clear plan and price to build it. The engagement takes about two weeks.

## What is Solution Design?

Evidence instead of opinions: where your team's hours go, which of that work a machine could do reliably, and what each fix is worth. Then the design of a solution you will own, built into the systems you already run.

Fixed fee, fixed timeline and tool-neutral. If there is little worth automating, we will say so.

## When Solution Design makes sense.

- Data retyped from PDFs and emails every week
- The same report rebuilt by hand
- Approvals stuck across inboxes and spreadsheets
- Admin headcount growing with revenue
- Leadership wants AI, but no one knows where it would help

## What you receive.

- **The solution design.** The solution you will own, designed around your actual workflows and systems.
- **A prioritized opportunity map.** The top 5 to 10 things worth automating, ranked by value against effort.
- **The numbers.** Hours saved per month, value per year and effort to build, for each item.
- **A clear plan and price to build it.** What to build first, second and third, with the investment for each.
- **One or two quick wins.** Improvements you can implement immediately.
- **A design you own.** Build it with KHIPUAI, your own team or another provider.

## One fixed fee. Scoped to your business.

A single fixed fee, not hourly billing, scoped with you on a free discovery call and confirmed in writing before any work starts. About two weeks end to end; the fee does not change once agreed. The full fee is credited toward the build if you engage KHIPUAI to build it within 30 days.

## From first call to a product you own.

1. **Discovery call.** Free, 20 to 30 minutes. We confirm the fit and identify the areas worth reviewing.
2. **Walkthrough.** About one week. Working sessions to review the actual workflows. Read-only; nothing changes in your systems.
3. **Solution Design.** Week two. The design, the plan and the price to build it, walked through with your team.
4. **Build.** Optional. Built by us, your team or another provider.

## Common questions about Solution Design.

**How long does Solution Design take?** About two weeks. Week one consists of a few working sessions to review the actual workflows. In week two you receive the design, the plan and the price, along with a live call to review them. Your team's total time commitment is a couple of hours.

**What access do you need from us?** A couple of hours of your team's time over one week, and visibility into the workflows and systems involved. Access is read-only and nothing changes in your systems during design. Building comes later, and only if you choose to proceed.

**Is Solution Design a sales pitch for a build?** No. The design is yours to act on with anyone, including your own team. If you build with KHIPUAI within 30 days, the full fee credits toward the build.

**What kinds of work usually get automated?** Document intake and data entry, manually built reports, reconciliations between disconnected systems, approval follow-up across inboxes, and copying the same data into multiple tools. Solution Design quantifies each one in hours and dollars before recommending anything.

**Do you guarantee the savings numbers?** No. Solution Design uses conservative estimates built from your team's actual volumes and time, so you can judge each opportunity on evidence.

**Do you need to be on site?** No. Solution Design runs virtually.
