The Engagement

Build & Operate

$12,500/mo · month to month · cancel anytime · one client at a time

I design, build, and run the integrated platform your company operates on. One client at a time, which means senior attention from architecture to production and every month after. This is the whole relationship, not a tool drop and not a staffing seat: a system that gets built, then keeps getting better.

The build comes first. Architecture, GCP infrastructure, the core system, and Claude plus Gemini where intelligent processing creates real leverage, deployed on Cloud Run with monitoring and CI/CD from day one. The 0 to 1 lift is mine, and it is front-loaded on purpose, so you see something real in production fast.

Then it compounds. Once the system is live it is built to run itself, so the ongoing months go to evolving it: a defined feature or optimization cycle, monitoring, cost and performance review, and a written report. You own everything: code, infrastructure, GCP project, and IP. Month to month, cancel anytime by either side with two weeks notice. No lock-in, ever.

What's Delivered

Build

Architecture, GCP infrastructure, the core system, and Claude plus Gemini integration, deployed to production with monitoring and CI/CD.

Operate

Each month: one feature or optimization cycle, monitoring and incident response in business hours, a cost and performance review, a written ops report, and a weekly sync.

By Application

Company OS

$25,000/mo · by application · one engagement at a time

The deepest engagement. I design and build your full integrated platform, then codify how your company actually operates into it: the workflows, the judgment, the context that usually lives in people's heads. The result is a single operating system your company runs on, and one that keeps refining itself over time.

This is for companies ready to make this their core system, not a side project. Same senior delivery as Build & Operate, taken all the way to a unified, self-improving platform. Because it takes everything I have, I run one of these at a time.

By application, and currently limited. If this is what you are building toward, tell me what you have in mind and I will be honest about fit and timing.

What's Different

Everything in Build & Operate — the full design, build, and ongoing engineering relationship

The full platform, designed end to end — not one workflow, your whole integrated system

Your operating context, codified — how your company works, captured into a system that compounds

Priority and single-engagement focus — I take one of these at a time, and it gets the whole of my attention

One engagement at a time · currently limited

Pricing

Published rates. No sales calls.

These are the rates. GCP infrastructure costs are billed directly to your account, and my fee covers engineering only. Every engagement runs on a written scope plan.

The Stack

Built on what Google and Anthropic
are investing in.

This is the generally accepted production pipeline for companies building end-to-end integrated platforms with large language models. ADK handles orchestration. A2A handles communication across systems. MCP handles tool and data connections. Claude and Gemini provide intelligence. Cloud Run handles deployment and scaling.

That said, the specific stack adapts to the project. Not every system needs multi-agent orchestration or cross-system communication. Some projects are best served by a focused Claude integration with FastAPI and Firestore. Others need the full platform. I recommend what fits your use case, not the most complex option available.

Everything deploys on your GCP project, your billing, your IAM. Claude runs through Vertex AI with the same compliance posture, same data residency, and no separate vendor relationship required.

Delivery Readiness

Trusound® follows Google's enterprise engineering best practices including the GEAR (Google Engineering for AI Readiness) framework and Delivery Readiness Index standards. Depending on project complexity, these readiness benchmarks may influence delivery timelines. I will be transparent about any considerations during the scoping process.

What I Build

Integrated platforms — orchestration systems where your teams, data, and tooling work together with Claude and Gemini intelligence built in

Document processing & structured output — PDFs, contracts, reports → validated JSON via FastAPI + Pydantic

Retrieval systems — document ingestion, embeddings, vector search, grounded retrieval with citation

Tool and data connections — MCP servers connecting intelligent systems to Google Workspace, Slack, databases, and business APIs

Internal tooling — production applications that your team uses daily, with intelligent automation where it creates real value

Model orchestration — routing between Claude and Gemini based on task requirements, cost, and performance

Scope Management

Clear boundaries, no surprises.

The engagement runs on a defined scope cycle. This protects both of us: you know exactly what you're paying for, and I can deliver focused work without getting pulled in twelve directions.

01

Written Scope

Each month gets a one-page scope plan: deliverables, acceptance criteria, and what's explicitly out of scope. You sign off before I build.

02

Working Demos

Weekly sync calls and working demos throughout. You see the system running, not slides about a system. Async communication via Slack or email with a one-business-day response time.

03

Scope Changes

New requests mid-cycle go into the next scope plan unless it's a critical incident. If scope increases significantly, we discuss adjusting the engagement before proceeding. No 24/7 on-call.

04

Clean Handoff

You get everything: source code, Terraform configs, deployment scripts, integration code, documentation, and a transition brief. Your system, your GCP project, your IP. No lock-in.

Expectations

So we're on the same page.

Included

All engineering work within the agreed scope

Direct communication with the person doing the work

Working demos and progress visibility throughout

Full documentation and clean handoff at engagement end

You own the code, the infrastructure, and the IP. Always

Not Included

24/7 on-call or after-hours emergency response

Unlimited ad-hoc requests outside the defined scope

AWS or Azure work (GCP only)

GCP infrastructure costs (billed directly to your account)

Team management (I'm the engineer, not the manager)

Work beyond the signed scope document

Getting Started

From first conversation to deployed system.

01

Conversation

You tell me what you're building or what problem you're solving. I ask questions. No pitch deck, no sales process. If it's not a fit, I'll say so upfront.

02

Proposal

I send a written proposal: the architecture approach, the scope, and the flat monthly fee. Plain language, no surprises.

03

Kickoff

We sign the scope plan and I get to work. You get weekly syncs and working demos from week one, and something real in production fast.

Government & Public Sector
