FAQ
Questions before you book
Not covered here? Ask on the call.
What does SmartX build?
Custom software, AI agents and copilots, data platforms, cloud-native SaaS and managed IT. We work as a software development company and an AI development partner on the same team, so one group of engineers owns your product from the first brief to production.
How is PRISM different from Agile?
Agile organises the sprints. PRISM adds five gates that you sign, so scope, evidence and cost are agreed before each phase starts. Your team keeps its sprint rituals; PRISM decides when a phase is actually finished.
How fast can we see working software?
A working prototype on your data in two weeks, after a 2–3 week Discovery Sprint. The prototype ends with a go, reshape or stop decision, so you never fund a full build on an untested idea.
Do you offer AI consulting before we build?
Yes. Our AI consulting services start with a 2-week AI Jumpstart that tests whether the use case is worth building, on your data, with an evaluation report you keep whatever you decide.
Who owns the code?
You do. Every line of code, every decision record and every dataset belongs to your company from day one, and the handover at Gate M includes the documentation your own team needs to run it.
