Build
Adaptiv Engine
A custom application for the system that runs your business — a web app with database, authentication, and hosting, or a coordinated team of AI agents. Scoped per project.
What we build
One Engine project = one application. If you need three independent tools, three Sparks is usually the better shape.
- Custom web applications
- Database, authentication, hosting, and a domain — anything from a customer portal to an internal ops tool to a bespoke booking, intake, or scheduling system.
- Teams of AI agents
- Multiple AI agents coordinating across steps, roles, or systems — the natural step up when stacked Sparks need to work together.
- Bespoke integrations
- Custom integrations with the software stack you already run — CRM, ERP, accounting, EHR, MLS, whatever's in flight.
- Production deployment
- Monitoring, runbooks, and a clean handoff to your team. We don't ship and disappear.
How it works
A predictable path from discovery to production.
Discovery
Usually arrives via a prior Compass visit, a stack of Sparks that need to start working together, or a buyer with a clear spec in hand.
Scoping and statement of work
A written SOW with clear deliverables, milestones, and success criteria before any build work begins.
Phased delivery
Review gates at week 4 and week 8 keep the project honest and adjustable.
Typical timeline
4–8 weeks from kickoff to production handoff. Longer projects scoped individually.
Project minimums
Engine is a consultative sale, but the price floor is set so we both know whether the math works before scoping starts.
Starting investment
$15,000
Typical range
$15K – $50K
Larger projects
Scoped individually
Compass credit
If you've completed a Compass assessment within the last 12 months, your $1,000 credits toward your Engine scoping fee or first invoice (your choice). Credit applies once, to the first follow-on project.
Before we start
Most Engine projects begin with a Compass visit — we need clarity on what to build before we can scope it. If you've stacked two or three Sparks and they now need to work together, that's also a natural moment to step up to Engine.
If you already have clarity on what you need, tell us below. If you don't, the right next step is usually Compass — and we'll say so on the first call.
