Agent delivery, from real work to handover.
The sequence maps the operation, builds the system around the agent, then sets the boundary and hands the result to your team. The same four disciplines run underneath it.
Five stages, from real work to handover.
- 01 · Map
Map the real work
Find the decisions, handoffs, source information and exceptions in the operation as it actually runs.
- 02 · Scaffold
Build the scaffold
Give the agent an owned system with the right data, tools, permissions and screens.
- 03 · Agent
Equip the agent
Add tested instructions and the tools that let it read, draft, check, sort and report.
- 04 · Boundary
Define the boundary
Put deterministic rules and human approval on the decisions the agent must not own.
- 05 · Handover
Hand over the system
Train the team, document the build and leave the code, infrastructure and accounts in the client's ownership.
A build is never signed off by the person who built it. A separate pass — pricing checks, pixel checks, field checks — has to clear it first, because undercharge bugs and drift get caught before customers do.
Every figure and every capability claim traces to something real and checkable. Where a build is a concept or a working prototype, it's called that — never dressed up as live.
An LLM can draft a figure or a suggested action. It never has the final say on a price, a payment, or a trade. A fixed, testable rule commits the real number.
Systems that control real hardware or send a real message ship read-only by default: a connection opens without writing anything. Anywhere an action reaches a customer or spends money, a person approves the exact action on screen — Pep will not send a customer email, and Social Studio will not publish a post, until someone presses it.

Start a conversationQuestions worth asking upfront.
What does it cost?
It depends on scope — a brochure site and a bespoke back-office engine are very different builds. We scope and quote after discovery, not before it.
How long does a build take?
Also scope-dependent. We ship in waves so you see and can use real progress early, rather than waiting for one big reveal at the end.
What happens to our data?
It stays yours, on infrastructure you own after handover. Regulated or sensitive data gets scoped isolation and access controls appropriate to what it is.
Do you use our data to train anything?
No. Your data is used to run your system, not to train models.
What if the AI is wrong?
Anywhere an AI component is used, it's scoped so a mistake is caught — a checker, a deterministic fallback, or a human confirmation step — before it reaches a customer or a payment.
Who owns the code?
You do, outright, on handover. It's your infrastructure and your repository, not ours to hold over you.
What's not a good fit?
Work that needs a big team shipping in parallel from day one, or a business that wants a black box it never has to understand. We work best building something you'll actually own and run.
Why one consultancy instead of an agency?
One accountable line from discovery to handover, no account-manager layer translating between you and whoever's actually building it.
Tell MAST which piece of work consumes your week. Half an hour is enough to see whether an agentic system is worth building.
