    We get to know your business, your users and the problem worth solving.

    You get: a written scope and the final quote, agreed before work begins.

  2. Prototype and test

    Click it before we build it.

    See the idea in a prototype. Test the flow and shape the direction together.

    You get: a prototype you can click through and test.

  3. Build and review

    See progress as it happens.

Why Arcum

Software shouldn’t need a translator.

Daniel MontoyaFounder · Engineering & automation

Most projects don’t go wrong in the code. They go wrong between the person who sold the work and the person who builds it.

So we keep that gap closed. The people who scope the work are the people who build it, and you see it as it develops, not in a status deck.

AI changes what a small team can build. It doesn’t change the need for someone who understands your business, says no to the wrong features and hands over something your team can run.

That’s how we work.

Questions

Good questions.

How is the final price set?

Each package has a starting price. We agree the scope together and confirm a final quote before any work begins. Recurring platform costs are agreed separately.

Do we need a technical person on our side?

No. We turn the business problem into a scope, explain each decision in plain language and handle the technical work. If you already have a team, we work alongside them.

Can you work with the tools we already use?

Usually, yes. Agents and automations connect to your inbox, CRM, documents and payments with the permissions you choose.

What happens to our data?

It stays in your environment, such as your own AWS, Azure or Microsoft 365. With business plans from providers like Anthropic and OpenAI, your data isn't used to train their models, under the provider's own terms. We never use your data for anything else.

Will an AI agent act without us knowing?

Only where you’ve agreed it can. We add a human approval step wherever a mistake would matter.

What happens after launch?

We hand over with documentation and training, then improve with real feedback. AI agents also include 30 days of hypercare: we watch them closely and fix anything that doesn't match the agreed scope. After that, choose a care plan, call us when you need us, or run it yourselves.
