Free consultation
30 minutes, with a co-founder

Engagement options
Every way to start working with LYVATE.
One free call, then whichever step actually fits the problem. Compare every engagement type below before you commit to one.
Free vs. paid, in one line
The free consultation is the only step that costs nothing. Everything from the Discovery Workshop onward is a paid engagement, scoped and agreed before it starts.
The five-step path
One path, five steps. Stop after any of them.
Every engagement starts here and grows only as far as the evidence supports. Each step produces something you can hold before deciding whether to continue.
Discovery Workshop
Paid, 3–5 days
Work through the goals, workflows, systems, data and risks with the people who live with them, then rank the opportunities honestly.
You leave with
Ranked opportunity list with a recommended Focused Project
Proof of Value
Optional, 2–4 weeks
When the plan rests on an assumption worth testing, build a working prototype on real data before committing to the full project.
You leave with
Working prototype and a decision on whether to proceed
Focused Project
8–12 weeks
A small embedded team takes one bounded outcome to production, with clear milestones and the controls and validation it needs to be operated.
You leave with
Production increment, automated tests, rollback path
Ongoing Support
Continuing, by agreement
Run and improve what has shipped — AI behavior, cloud, security, quality and compliance — extend it to the next workflow, or hand it over cleanly.
You leave with
Ongoing support agreement or a clean ownership handover
Also available
Two ways to work with us outside the five-step path.
Not every need fits a step-by-step project. These sit alongside it, and either can start on its own.
Dedicated Team
A longer-running embedded team that works your roadmap alongside your staff, with a charter, named decision rights, and measures agreed up front.
