How long is a typical engagement?

PODs run on twelve-week scoped engagements, renewable in twelve-week increments. Renewals scale capacity or add a second solution.

What does the team shape look like?

A POD is four to six engineers reporting into your delivery team. Mix of senior, mid-level, and AI specialists, scoped to the AK Way disciplines you need installed.

Do we need to already be on AWS?

PODs work on any stack, but AI Build System assumes Bedrock or Q Developer for the agentic layer.

How does pricing work?

PODs are billed monthly at a per-pod rate. Twelve-week minimums. No per-engineer pricing. No bench-time billing.

What does success look like?

Each POD lands measurable shifts in delivery metrics by sprint two: deploy frequency, lead time, change failure rate, mean time to recovery.

A high-growth event management SaaS platform · Dani Amsalem

The entire team is great at understanding what I'm looking for and at communicating challenges so we can work out a good solution. If I provide a technical requirement, I know it will get done. I'm not seeing any loose ends. That's a wonderful relief for me knowing that I can trust you guys to get the job done well. It's due to Armakuni's competence that Rob and I are looking forward to Phase 2.
