Choose your Challenge
Six ways to start.
Every Challenge is scoped to one well-defined problem. Pick the one closest to yours, or tell us you're not sure and we'll help you choose.
DISCOVER
Where Should We Use Agentic AI?
Where can Agentic AI create measurable business value?
- The problem
- You know AI matters, but not where to start or what to avoid.
- Typical outcome
- Prioritized use cases, security considerations and a Crawl → Walk → Run roadmap.
- Ideal for
- Leadership teams under pressure to act on AI without a clear first move.
DESIGN
Design My Agentic AI Architecture
What should the architecture, requirements and engineering plan look like?
- The problem
- You know what you want to build, but need requirements, architecture and a handoff.
- Typical outcome
- Requirements, agent and tool architecture, security architecture and an AI-DLC engineering handoff.
- Ideal for
- CTOs and product owners preparing to fund or staff a build.
BUILD
Prototype My Agentic AI Idea
Can we demonstrate the idea with a tightly scoped prototype?
- The problem
- You need to see the idea work before funding a larger implementation.
- Typical outcome
- A limited demonstration of one use case, architectural findings and a production roadmap.
- Ideal for
- Teams that need evidence for an investment decision. A Challenge prototype is not a production system.
SECURE
Assess My Agentic AI Security
Can the system be trusted, governed, audited and constrained?
- The problem
- You are already building or operating Agentic AI and need to know where it is exposed.
- Typical outcome
- Agentic AI threat and risk assessment, identity, tool and autonomy review, and a remediation roadmap.
- Ideal for
- CISOs and security architects responsible for AI already in motion.
UNIFY
Unlock My Data Silos
How can fragmented data and knowledge become usable intelligence?
- The problem
- Useful intelligence is scattered across systems, documents, SOPs and teams.
- Typical outcome
- Source inventory, retrieval and grounding strategy, access boundaries and a phased plan.
- Ideal for
- Operations and data leaders. The Challenge designs the path; it does not migrate all enterprise data.
THEO
Design My Corporate AI Intelligence Layer
How can employees use a secure intelligence layer grounded in the organization?
- The problem
- You want an assistant grounded in your SOPs, knowledge and approved systems.
- Typical outcome
- A blueprint for a corporate intelligence layer: ask questions, assist employees, then act under policy.
- Ideal for
- Organizations that want their own assistant. Theo is the reference concept; you choose the name.
How the 50 days work
One method behind every Challenge.
- Step 1
Discover
Understand the business problem, users, systems, data, SOPs, constraints and success criteria.
- Step 2
Design
Define requirements, architecture, agents, tools, knowledge, identity, authorization and human approvals.
- Step 3
Demonstrate
Where practical, demonstrate one key concept. The demonstration type is agreed in the SOW.
- Step 4
Secure
Every Challenge includes baseline security analysis. Security is not optional.
- Step 5
Roadmap
A Crawl → Walk → Run plan with priorities, dependencies, risks and the recommended next engagement.
Why $5K is possible
You’re not paying us to start from zero.
The Factory brings three things to every engagement. Customer-specific work is then applied on top of them.
Software & Architecture Building Blocks
Reusable software, reference implementations and architecture patterns, so we do not rediscover the fundamentals on every engagement.
- Agent orchestration
- Operational context
- Knowledge grounding
- Secure integrations
- Governed tools
- Decision intelligence
- Human approval
- Action playbooks
- Audit records
- Model and cloud abstraction
The Octopus Body of Knowledge
Accumulated research, threat models and practices from the Octopus book series. You are not paying us to start learning these topics on Day 1.
- Prompt injection
- Excessive agency
- Poisoned knowledge
- Agentic AI identity
- Least privilege
- Human-in-the-loop controls
- Tool security
- Trusted action
- Governance
- Auditability
AI-Assisted Engineering
AI-DLC and AI-assisted engineering accelerate the work. Experienced human judgment remains responsible for architecture, security and recommendations.
- Research
- Requirements
- Architecture analysis
- Threat modeling
- Documentation
- Prototyping
- Test generation
- Engineering handoff
What a Challenge answers
Decision-ready, not a slide deck.
- Is this opportunity worth pursuing?
- What should we build?
- How should it work?
- Can we demonstrate the key idea?
- How should we secure it?
- What does engineering need?
- What should happen next?
Typical deliverables

- Business requirements
- System requirements
- High-level architecture
- Agent and tool architecture
- Data and integration map
- Security architecture

FAQ
Questions about the Challenge.
What is the $5K / 50-Day Challenge?
A fixed-price, fixed-duration engagement to discover, design, demonstrate where practical, and roadmap one well-defined business challenge.
Does every Challenge include a prototype?
No. The demonstration type depends on the Challenge and is agreed in the SOW. It may be a prototype, a workflow simulation, an architecture demonstration or a knowledge-grounded assistant.
Is the prototype production-ready?
No, unless a separate SOW explicitly defines a production implementation.
Do I have to continue after Day 50?
No. STOP is a complete outcome. You keep the agreed deliverables with no further obligation.
What happens on Day 50?
You choose: STOP and take the blueprint, BUILD under a separate SOW, or OPERATE with ongoing support.
Who owns the deliverables?
Ownership of customer-specific deliverables is defined in the SOW. EcoSec WorX retains its pre-existing tools, reusable building blocks, frameworks and methods.
Can you work in our cloud?
Yes, subject to the agreed technical scope and your requirements.
Are you tied to one LLM?
No. The Agentic Intelligence Fabric is designed around replaceable model and runtime boundaries.
Can you integrate with our current systems?
Yes, where appropriate APIs, data access, connectors, files or other integration mechanisms exist. Your systems remain authoritative unless agreed otherwise.
Is security included?
Yes. Baseline security analysis is part of every Challenge.
Does the $5K / 50-Day Challenge include training?
Yes. Every $5K / 50-Day Challenge includes one customized Agentic AI training episode tailored to what we learn during the engagement.
What kind of training can we choose?
The session can focus on executive understanding, technical architecture, Agentic AI cybersecurity, employee enablement, or Crawl → Walk → Run adoption strategy, depending on what is most useful to your organization.
Is the three-part training series still available?
Yes. Larger Build engagements may include a customized three-part Agentic AI training series, and Operate engagements can include ongoing enablement and workshops.
Is training the main deliverable of the Challenge?
No. The core Challenge deliverable remains Design + Demonstrate + Roadmap. The training session is an added enablement benefit.
Do you guarantee ROI?
No. The Challenge reduces uncertainty and produces a decision-ready roadmap. It does not guarantee business outcomes.
What if our project is bigger than the Challenge?
We will either narrow the scope or propose a different engagement before any work begins.
How are scope changes handled?
Through the documented Change Management Process: identify, document, estimate, approve in writing, then change.
