How we work

A Fixed-Price, Outcome-Driven AI Discovery Process

AI Strategy & Prototyping at Stralya is not an open-ended workshop series. It is a structured, time-boxed engagement with clear deliverables and decision points. Every step is designed to reduce uncertainty, validate feasibility, and prepare a production-grade roadmap for your cloud-native web platform, including Shopify website development services where relevant.

We start with focused sessions involving your CTO, CIO, and business owners to understand your objectives, constraints, and existing systems. We clarify where AI can genuinely create value—customer experience, automation, personalisation, risk scoring, analytics, or ecommerce optimisation for Shopify website design—while discarding low-impact ideas.
Together, we prioritise 1–3 high-impact AI use cases using clear criteria: business value, data availability, technical feasibility, and time-to-value. For each selected use case, we define measurable success indicators and guardrails around performance, security, and compliance in the US context, whether for internal platforms or public-facing Shopify website design services.
Our senior architects design a cloud-native architecture tailored to your stack (AWS, Azure, or GCP). We map data sources, choose the right AI/ML or LLM components, and define how the prototype will integrate with your existing web platforms, CRMs, Shopify website developers, or back-office systems.
We build a focused prototype: either a high-fidelity UX prototype, a functional proof-of-concept, or a combination of both. This may include real-time AI features such as recommendations, content generation, smart search, or workflow automation embedded into a web interface or Shopify web development front end.
We test the prototype with real stakeholders or pilot users. In parallel, we measure performance, latency, reliability, and security on your chosen cloud platform. You see how the AI behaves in realistic conditions—on your website, ecommerce store, or Shopify web design—before scaling investment.
You receive a concrete, step-by-step plan to move from prototype to production, including timelines, milestones, and a fixed-price quote for full implementation with Stralya. This can cover broader web development and best Shopify website design packages if required. You can proceed, iterate, or pause with complete clarity about scope and cost.

This service is designed for organisations with high-stakes digital assets: startups and scale-ups preparing AI-powered products, SMEs and enterprises in digital transformation, and public or regulated entities with critical digital mandates. Typical stakeholders are CTOs, CIOs, Heads of Engineering, Ecommerce Directors, and Digital Transformation leaders who want AI initiatives—and their web or Shopify web development—to be structured, accountable, and production-ready.
We focus on AI features that live inside cloud-native web platforms: intelligent search, content personalisation, recommendation engines, workflow automation, smart chat and support, document processing, risk or fraud scoring, and data-driven dashboards. For ecommerce, this extends to AI-enhanced Shopify website design, merchandising, and conversion optimisation. We do not push AI where it is not needed; we only recommend use cases that are technically feasible and tied to measurable business outcomes.
Yes. We design and prototype solutions on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, depending on your ecosystem and compliance requirements. Technologically, we work with modern AI stacks—classical machine learning, deep learning, and LLM-based systems—always with an emphasis on security, observability, and long-term maintainability for your web and Shopify ecommerce development company stack.
Most engagements run between 3 and 8 weeks, depending on the number and complexity of use cases and the level of functional prototyping required. During scoping, we agree on a precise timeline and milestones and commit to them under a fixed-price model, similar to how best Shopify website design packages are structured for clarity and predictability.
Yes. Project rescue is one of Stralya’s core strengths. We can audit your current AI initiative—code, architecture, data pipelines, and vendor contracts—then propose a stabilisation and re-scoping plan. Often, we will rebuild a focused prototype to realign expectations and give you a clear, production-ready roadmap, including recommendations if your web or Shopify web development is adding unnecessary complexity or cost.
You receive three core assets: (1) a strategic AI roadmap and prioritised use cases, (2) a cloud-native architecture and data blueprint, and (3) a working prototype (UX, functional, or both) demonstrating the key AI features. You also receive a fixed-price proposal to move into full implementation with Stralya, which can include best Shopify web design services or broader web development, but you remain entirely free to decide your next step.
