Project Rescue
Restart a stalled AI project
We diagnose why it stalled, keep what works, and get it live.
You started an AI project — maybe with a freelancer, an agency, or in-house — and it never made it into everyday use. Before you write off what you've spent, let us take a look. Most stalled builds are closer to working than they feel.

The problem
AI projects rarely fail loudly. They quietly stall: the demo impressed everyone, then it never survived contact with real use. The person who understood it left. The last 20% — the part that makes it reliable enough to trust — never got done.
Meanwhile the invoices were paid and the momentum is gone. Starting over feels wasteful; pushing on feels risky when you're not sure why it stuck in the first place.
What we build
An honest diagnosis of why it stalled — no blame, just the real reasons
A clear call on what to keep, what to rebuild, and what to drop
The remaining work done to get it live and reliable
It running in your business, with notes so your team can keep it going
You keep the code and the IP — no lock-in to us
How it works
Three steps to live
Look under the hood
We review what you have — the code, the setup, what it was meant to do — and tell you honestly whether it's worth restarting or better rebuilt.
Salvage and rebuild
We keep the parts that work, rebuild the parts that don't, and finish the last stretch that never got done.
Get it live
We put it into real use in your business and hand it over working, so it stops being a sunk cost and starts paying off.
Before
A document-processing pilot impressed in the demo, then sat untouched for months — stuck in testing after the person who built it moved on.
After
Diagnosed, salvaged, and finished — back on a path to daily use within the first few weeks, with the team able to run it themselves.
Shipped, or you don't pay the final invoice. We agree a go-live date up front. If it isn't live by then, the final invoice is waived.
Questions owners ask
What if it turns out it's not worth saving?
We'll tell you that plainly, and why — before you spend more. Sometimes the honest answer is a clean rebuild, and we'll show you what that looks like and costs. Either way you leave the first conversation knowing where you really stand.
We didn't build it in-house — can you still work with it?
Usually, yes. We regularly pick up work started by other freelancers or agencies. As long as we can get access to the code and setup, we can assess it.
How much does a rescue cost?
Project Rescue starts from €18k, fixed scope, once we've scoped the specific work on a call. And it's covered by our guarantee: live by the agreed date, or you don't pay the final invoice.
