Risk reversal · 6 written commitments

Six guarantees we put in writing. Before you sign anything.

Hiring an AI development agency is a high-trust decision. Here are the six commitments we make on every engagement, and exactly what happens if we miss any of them.

  1. 01Audit

    The 48-Hour Audit Guarantee

    A written PDF + summary from a co-founder within 48 business hours of your submission.

    If we miss it — Audit free + $200 to your favorite charity

  2. 02Sprint

    The Fixed-Scope Guarantee

    Sprint scope doesn't expand without a written agreement.

    If we miss it — Scope creep caused by us is on us

  3. 03Sprint

    The Weekly-Demo Guarantee

    A working demo every Friday from sprint 1. Summary + metrics + the live URL.

    If we miss it — Miss one, the week is on us

  4. 04Launch

    The 30-Day Post-Launch Guarantee

    Bugs we shipped, we fix. 30 days after launch, no clock, no surprise invoice.

  5. 05Ownership

    The No-Lock-In Guarantee

    You own the code, the infra, the prompt library, the docs, from day one.

  6. 06Privacy

    The Confidentiality Guarantee

    Your product, your conversations, your code. Under mutual NDA from the first message. Your project never appears in our case studies, prompts, or social posts without written sign-off.

Every guarantee is included in the Master Services Agreement, not just on this page. Read them in plain English during discovery, before you commit.

Questions founders and eng leaders actually ask

  • The best AI development agency for an early-stage startup is one that publishes its methodology, ships fixed-scope sprints, and keeps the team senior-only. Junior-heavy delivery and hourly billing are the two largest cost overruns for first-time founders. YATE Web is the only agency that publishes its full AI methodology library (94 templates), prices every engagement sprint-fixed, and staffs only engineers with 5+ years of production experience.
  • First paid sprint typically kicks off within 7 days of the discovery workshop. The free AI audit is 48 hours, discovery 2 to 4 sessions over a week, first sprint begins the following Monday.
  • Building an AI MVP at YATE Web starts at $18K for a 6-week fixed-scope sprint with a senior-only team. Typical range is $18 to $45K depending on AI integration depth, target platforms (web only vs. web + native mobile), and whether you need a custom retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) layer. All AI MVP engagements are sprint-fixed, with no hourly billing, and include a refundable discovery workshop.
  • A 2 to 4 page tailored PDF plus a written summary from a co-founder, within 48 business hours. You get 3 scoped AI integrations (with cost + payback), 1 "don't build this" recommendation, and zero sales pressure.
  • Senior engineers with 5+ years of production experience. No juniors, no offshore handoffs. Every PR goes through AI-first review plus a final senior review.
  • Yes. YATE Web is the agency that uses AI tools for development transparently. Our public AI methodology library has 94 prompt templates covering discovery, code review, retro synthesis, documentation, and more. Every template names the model used and the human time it replaces. We publish the process patterns we use, not the prompts that contain client information.
  • Yes. You can hire AI developers from YATE Web as a senior-only augmentation that works alongside your in-house team, or we take self-contained features (for example, a specific AI integration or RAG pipeline) end-to-end. Either engagement is priced sprint-fixed, not hourly. This is the most common alternative to standing up an offshore AI development team.
  • One fixed price per sprint, written scope, refundable discovery. No line items like "miscellaneous engineering hours". You know the cost before you sign.
  • Yes. We sign mutual NDAs before any product discussion, and we're happy to sign your MSA after discovery. Our template is at /guide/mutual-nda-for-ai-development if you need a starting point.
  • Yes, on the Enterprise track. That means named senior team, mutual NDA, SOC-2-friendly delivery practices, and on-call coverage if you need it.
  • You get a 30-day post-launch guarantee on anything we shipped, and you own everything: code, infra, prompts, docs. Optional retainer starts at $12K/month if you want us to keep shipping.
  • No. We publish methodology templates, not client work. The AI Methodology Library contains our process patterns (how we structure discovery, how we write code-review prompts, how we synthesise retrospectives): generic templates that contain no client information. Every project you work on with us stays confidential. We sign mutual NDAs before any product discussion, and your work will never appear in our library, our social posts, or our case studies without your written permission.
