HMD Digital
Nothing upfront

Nothing upfront. You see the value first, then we share it.

HMD Digital builds and manages AI agents for SMEs, and we build first. You watch an agent handle your real process and see what it's worth before you commit. Once the gain shows up in your numbers, we share the value it creates.

How it works

You see the value before you pay for it.

Nothing to start.

No setup fee, no licence, no billable discovery. We put our time and expertise in first: measuring the process with your team and building the demo.

  • No invoice before you decide
  • No hours billed for scoping

Nothing until it works.

You watch the agent handle your real process and see the numbers first. The debate about whether AI might help is over: you are looking at what it does and what it is worth.

  • A working demo, not slides
  • A proposal with a clear ROI

Then we share the value.

Once the gain shows up against the baseline, our fee comes from the value it creates. You don't pay for hours. You pay for a number that moved.

  • Measured against an agreed baseline
  • Managed for as long as it delivers

We can build first because we're confident in the value. That's also why we're selective: we say yes only where we know the numbers will move.

How value is measured

Four things on the table before you commit.

Every proposal is built on the same four fields. You see all of them, on your own process, before you decide anything.

Why we keep control

Paid from results, so we stay on it.

“If the system stops performing, we feel it before you do. So we keep enough control to fix it.”

We watch every agent in production for performance, costs and exceptions, and we stay on it for as long as it keeps delivering. Your people stay in the loop wherever judgment matters.

A loop of four activities around HMD Digital: watch performance, notice problems early, fix them, and improve the agents as your process changes.

Why we're selective

Six checks every process has to pass.

Building first only works if every yes is a process we're confident we can move. Miss one and we pass, or we come back when it changes.

Check

Can we measure it?

Hours, errors, delays, lost revenue. If nobody can say what the process costs today, nobody can prove it improved.

Check

Is it worth it?

A task that eats a few hours a month doesn't need an agent. One that eats half a person's week or more usually does.

Check

Does it repeat?

Agents earn their keep on volume: quotes, reports, document packs, inbox triage, onboarding.

Check

Can it be built safely?

The data has to be reachable and mistakes have to be catchable. Some processes should stay human, and we'll say so.

Check

Is someone in charge?

An owner, CEO or COO who wants the result and stays involved. "Let's explore AI" with no owner is a no.

Check

Will the team work with us?

We sit with the people doing the job. If they can't spare a little time, the system won't fit how they work.

What changes the structure

Three things shape the agreement.

The idea never changes. How the agreement is put together depends on a few plain choices, made together.

Where it's hosted

Our infrastructure, your cloud, a hybrid setup or on-premise.

Who owns the infrastructure

Ours or yours. It changes who looks after what, and how the agreement is shaped.

Fixed and variable parts

Some agreements pair a fixed part with the value we share. The proposal says which, and why.

The details go in the proposal, in plain words, before you decide.

The principle stays the same: you see the value first.

FAQ

Questions about nothing upfront.

There is no setup fee, no licence and no billable discovery. We measure the process with your team, build a working demo on it and show you a proposal with a clear ROI. You decide only after you've seen the agent at work. Once the value shows up against the baseline, we share it.
