FAQ
Straight, first-hand answers — pricing and engagement model, what “shipped in weeks” means, security and governance, vendor-neutrality, ROI, and what happens after a pilot.
ProvenForge is an AI-transformation consultancy, by Bello GEO, that helps companies turn AI from “we should be using this” into shipped, measurable outcomes. We’re vendor-neutral and ROI-focused, working with CTOs and technical leaders in the US and Latin America, in English and Spanish.
Yes, it’s genuinely free: a focused 30-minute working session plus a one-page brief on where AI would actually move the needle for you. It’s a conversation, not a sales pitch — and the fastest way to see how we think.
Big firms tend to bill hundreds of thousands of dollars and several months for a strategy deck. We ship a working AI use case in weeks for a fraction of that, and we’re vendor-neutral — we recommend the right tool for you, never a partner we’re paid to push.
It means our primary deliverable is working software in production, not a slide presentation. A well-scoped pilot reaches production in weeks because we build for production from day one and cut everything outside the core use case.
A fixed-fee engagement (about two weeks) that delivers a prioritized, ROI-ranked roadmap of where AI creates value for you, the risks, and a recommended first pilot. It’s the structured way to know exactly where to start.
Yes. If it doesn’t surface at least three prioritized, ROI-ranked opportunities you didn’t already have, it’s free. And 100% of the fee credits toward a pilot if you move forward within 60 days.
The Opportunity Scan is free. The Readiness Assessment is fixed-fee (Standard $9,500; Express $3,500 for smaller teams). Pilot Sprints start from $25,000, and fractional AI leadership runs $6,000–$15,000/month. We’re transparent about pricing and scope before any commitment.
A focused engagement that takes one high-value AI use case to production in weeks — built with evaluation, monitoring, and guardrails, vendor-neutral, and measured against a number you define up front. The point is a working system, not a prototype.
Ongoing, embedded AI leadership without a full-time hire: we help you set direction, scale what works, build team capability, and keep governance sound, on a monthly retainer. It’s how companies scale proven AI without building a department overnight.
We have no reseller commissions or partner kickbacks, so our tool and model recommendations are based only on what’s best for you. We make money from our fees — the Scan, Assessment, Pilot, and retainer — not from steering you toward any vendor.
Security and data privacy are designed into every engagement from the first sprint — what the system can access, where data goes, and how it’s controlled — rather than bolted on later. [PROOF: name any specific practices/standards you follow.]
Yes. We help right-size governance so you can ship safely without slowing down — usage policies, risk ownership, and privacy considerations appropriate to your size and market. (Compliance specifics should always be reviewed with your own legal counsel.)
Every engagement is tied to a number you can defend — hours saved, cost per case, response time, conversion, revenue — defined before we start so the outcome is provable, not anecdotal.
Whatever fits the job — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, open-source models, and the surrounding tooling. Because we’re vendor-neutral, we choose based on your requirements, cost, and risk, and we build so you can change later without a rewrite.
No. You need enough usable data for the specific use case, not a finished data platform or a large ML team. Assessing whether your data is good enough as-is is part of the work.
You have a working, measured use case and a clear decision: scale it, embed the practices that worked, and build your team’s capability. Many clients move into a fractional retainer at this point to scale what’s proven.
Yes. We work natively in both languages and across both markets — not machine-translated, but with genuine cultural and technical fluency on each side.
ProvenForge is led by founder José Felipe Bello and the Bello GEO team. You work directly with senior practitioners, not a layer of junior consultants. [PROOF: note any associates/partners as the team grows.]
ProvenForge is by Bello GEO, whose work includes the Laboratorio del Dolor build [PROOF: ~100 pages across 8 markets, visibility 39→90, delivered in days — confirm publishable]. We’d rather show measured results than make claims, and we’ll share relevant examples on a Scan.
