Accelerate, embedded engineers shipping production AI inside your sprint.

For mid-market and enterprise teams moving from prototype to production. One full-time senior EIS engineer in your roadmap, FORGE methodology, knowledge transfer included. SGD 15,000/month over 3–6 months. Month-to-month. Up to 50% government co-funded.

How it works

Your team, augmented, not your work, outsourced.

Accelerate puts a named, senior AI engineer inside your sprint cadence. They sit in your stand-ups, write in your repos, and ship against your roadmap. You keep the IP, the architecture, and the muscle memory. We bring the AI engineering depth and the FORGE methodology. Most engagements onboard in two weeks and produce production-ready code by month three.

What's included

Ten workstreams under one monthly engagement, a senior engineer, a methodology, and a written knowledge-transfer plan from day one.

01 / FEATURE

1 embedded senior engineer

A named individual, full-time on your programme, with 5+ years in AI engineering. In your stand-ups, your code reviews, your retros, not a far-away agency. A fractional tech lead supports on architecture decisions.

02 / FEATURE

FORGE: ASSESS → ARCHITECT → BUILD

The first three phases of the FORGE methodology applied end-to-end. Phase gates, written deliverables, and a documented decision trail your team can reference long after we leave.

03 / FEATURE

Custom code & architecture

Production-quality code in your repos, your stack, your conventions. Not white-labelled boilerplate. Architecture decision records (ADRs) capture every trade-off.

04 / FEATURE

Dual-workflow sprint engineering

Backend and frontend built in parallel inside the same sprint. AI-augmented tooling gives 3–5× throughput without sacrificing rigor.

05 / FEATURE

Weekly demos & written updates

Every Friday: a working demo, a written status note, and a 48-hour-out plan. Your leadership sees the work in progress, no end-of-quarter surprises.

06 / FEATURE

Knowledge transfer to your team

Pair-programming sessions, brown-bag walkthroughs, and written runbooks throughout the engagement. By month four your team is reviewing our PRs, not the other way around.

07 / FEATURE

Governance baked in

AI Verify aligned, NIST AI RMF mapped, OWASP LLM Top 10 hardened from sprint one. Evidence pack delivered alongside the code, not bolted on after launch.

08 / FEATURE

Shared tooling & CI/CD

We work inside your GitHub, your CI/CD, your ticketing, your infrastructure, not ours. No tool sprawl, no vendor lock-in, no integration debt.

09 / FEATURE

Month-to-month commercials

Cancel with 30 days' notice. No long-term lock-in. Most clients renew through month six because the work compounds, but the option is yours every month.

10 / FEATURE

Up to 50% co-funded

Eligible for IMDA co-funding in Singapore and equivalents across Malaysia (MDEC), Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. We handle the paperwork end-to-end.

The Framework

A 3–6 month engagement, in three governed phases.

Two-week onboarding, then a sprint cadence your team already runs. First production deployment typically lands in month three.

PHASE 01

ASSESS

Weeks 1–4. Use-case definition, data audit, success-metric alignment, and a written technical thesis your team and ours both sign off on before code is written.

Deliverable
Readiness scorecard + sprint plan
PHASE 02

ARCHITECT

Weeks 4–8. Reference architecture, governance controls mapped, model and tooling choices documented as ADRs. Your CISO and tech lead review and sign off.

Deliverable
Architecture blueprint + ADRs
PHASE 03

BUILD

Weeks 8–24. Dual-workflow sprints, weekly demos, knowledge-transfer sessions in cadence. Production deployment with monitoring, written runbooks, and a four-week handover plan.

Deliverable
Production code + trained team

Ideal for

Accelerate fits teams who have a validated use case and need senior AI engineering depth without a 6-month hire cycle, or the cost of an enterprise engagement.

Mid-market scale-ups

Series B–D companies with product traction, an engineering team, but no in-house AI engineer to own RAG, agents, or evaluation infrastructure.

Onboard in 2 weeks

Internal data science teams

Organisations with strong data science and ML modelling capability but a gap on production engineering, Accelerate fills it without disrupting the team.

Engineer not analyst

POC-to-MVP graduations

Teams who validated under Ignite or a sprint, and now need an embedded engineer to take the prototype to a production-ready MVP without rewriting from scratch.

Code reused

Product-led companies

B2B SaaS and fintech teams shipping AI features into existing products, copilots, search, summarisation, alongside their normal product roadmap.

1 sprint cadence

Replacing slow agency work

Teams burned by waterfall AI agencies who delivered slides instead of code, Accelerate ships in your repos, in your sprints, in your standards.

First PR in week 1

Pre-Deploy validation

Enterprises planning a Tier 3 Deploy engagement who want to de-risk the architecture and the working relationship at lower commitment first.

Path to Deploy

We had a working RAG demo, a roadmap full of asks, and no senior engineer to own production. EIS embedded one engineer in our sprint inside ten days. By month three we had a multi-tenant RAG service in production, evaluation pipelines our team owned, and two of our engineers who now lead the AI track internally. The engagement paid for itself before the second renewal.

FAQ

Accelerate, frequently asked

How an embedded engineer actually works inside your team, what month-to-month means, and how IP and co-funding flow.

Q01What does the SGD 15,000/month actually cover?
One named senior AI engineer full-time on your programme, a fractional tech lead for architecture decisions and code review, full FORGE methodology (ASSESS → ARCHITECT → BUILD), weekly demos with written updates, governance evidence pack, and a documented knowledge-transfer plan. Additional engineers are quoted on top, most clients add a second in month two or three as scope expands.
Q02How is an embedded engineer different from a contractor?
An EIS engineer brings the FORGE methodology, the EIS engineering bench for second opinions, and a written knowledge-transfer commitment. They sit inside our quality and governance frameworks, not outside them. If something goes wrong, you have EIS leadership accountable, not a freelancer who's already moved on.
Q03What does month-to-month really mean?
Cancel with 30 days' written notice, any month, no penalty. We recommend completing the FORGE phase you're in so deliverables hand over cleanly, but we never lock you in beyond the next month. Most clients renew through month six because the work compounds, but the option is yours every renewal.
Q04Do we own the code, models, and IP?
Yes, everything we build is yours from the moment it's committed. Source code, model configurations, architecture decision records, runbooks, evaluation suites, all documentation. EIS retains no commercial rights to client work.
Q05Can we co-fund Accelerate under IMDA or equivalent?
Yes, Accelerate is eligible for up to 50% co-funding under IMDA in Singapore and equivalent schemes across Malaysia (MDEC), Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. We assess eligibility on the first scoping call and handle the paperwork. Approval typically takes 4–6 weeks.
Q06How fast can an engineer onboard?
Two weeks from contract signature to first sprint, typical. The engineer is named during scoping, not staffed from a bench after signing. Security clearance, laptop pre-staging, and access provisioning happen in week one; ASSESS phase work begins in week two.
Q07Can our team hire the embedded engineer afterwards?
It happens. Sometimes engineers transition to client payroll, sometimes they return to EIS. We're explicit about this up front, neither party is locked. Conversations are open and we don't penalise you for asking.
Q08Do we need to start with Ignite first, or can we go directly to Accelerate?
You can go directly to Accelerate if you have a validated use case and ready data. If either is uncertain, Ignite (4-week feasibility) is usually the right first step, only SGD 2,500 to learn whether the use case stands up.
Q09What happens at month 6, does the engagement end?
Three options. (1) Hand-over: your team takes over, we run a four-week transition, we step back. (2) Extend Accelerate: continue at the same monthly rate against new outcomes. (3) Graduate to Deploy: scale to 2–3 engineers under a written SLA for production operation. Decision lands at the month-4 review.

Start with Accelerate.

30-minute scoping call. We'll size the engagement, name the engineer, confirm co-funding eligibility, and tell you honestly whether Accelerate fits, or whether Ignite or Deploy is the better starting point.
