The 90-Day Native AI Delivery Residency
Ship a production AI feature in 90 days — and certify your engineering team on the way.
Two ScaledNative Certified Practitioners embed with your team, co-ship in your repository, and credential 10–20 of your engineers on the way out.
Fortune reported in December 2025 that 74% of enterprises deploying AI cannot show business value. If your Copilot or Claude Enterprise rollout is one of them, this engagement exists for that problem.
Residency at a glance
A fixed-scope engagement your procurement team can sign in days, not quarters.
How it's different
Built to do the thing your last consulting firm could not.
Every row below is a behavior — not a brand claim. Compare it to whoever is on the floor of your engineering org right now.

What you get
Five deliverables. Every one of them walks out of the engagement.
- 01
Merged pull requests in your repository
Production-quality, documented, tested. Reviewed by your engineers and shipped under your existing change-management process. The artifacts live in your codebase, not on a consultant's laptop.
- 02
A per-engineer capability assessment
Seven competency domains scored against shipped artifacts from the engagement. One document your head of engineering can act on — not a sentiment survey.
- 03
10–20 engineers credentialed as SNCP-A
Publicly verifiable at /sncp/verify/{code}. Every credential maps back to the artifacts that earned it, so the claim survives a reference check.
- 04
A next-90-days readiness plan
Written for your stack, your repository, and your team topology. A concrete roadmap the team can execute without us — not a generic transformation deck.
- 05
Anonymized cohort feedback, actionable
Every participating engineer rates the engagement. The anonymized output feeds our recertification program — not your HR file, and never attributed back to individuals.
Who this is for
You lead engineering at a regulated or large-enterprise organization, and your AI rollout hasn't yet proven value.
If procurement signed a seven-figure AI agreement and you cannot point the board to what it built, that's the problem this engagement was designed to close.
Not L&D. Not the CHRO. The residency is engineered for the engineering budget holder who has to answer a return-on-AI question at the next quarterly review.
Start a conversationHow the methodology shows up
Native AI Delivery is the operating standard every practitioner works under.
A 60% floor on hands-on lab time. A 15% ceiling on slideware. Every module ends with a commit your engineer can show their manager. The full framework is published openly — read it before you sign anything.
Read the methodologyHow practitioners are vetted
A five-stage assessment including a live enterprise simulation and a mock training delivery.
No paper credentials. Every SNCP domain gate requires a shipped artifact, reviewed by a panel. The blueprint is published publicly so clients, candidates, and auditors can challenge it on the merits.

Tell us what you're trying to ship.
A founder reads every inquiry. You'll hear back within two business days. If the fit looks right, the next step is a 30-minute call with the practitioner who would lead your residency — not a sales development rep.
Procurement FAQ
The questions your legal, security, and procurement teams ask first.
What happens to our IP?
It stays on your infrastructure. Every practitioner signs a 5-year NDA before they see a line of your code. Your source, prompts, evaluations, and data never leave your environment, and are never used to train external models or enrich any other engagement we run.
How do you handle our security and compliance posture?
Practitioners work inside your environment, under your change-management, access, and review controls — not ours. We help teams ship inside regulated contexts (healthcare, financial services, public sector) and we follow your standards for authentication, data handling, and audit logging. We do not claim external certifications we do not hold; we operate inside yours.
How are your practitioners vetted?
A five-stage assessment including a live enterprise simulation and a mock training delivery — two gates that have no direct analog in AWS, HashiCorp, or CNCF certifications. Every domain gate requires a shipped artifact, reviewed by a panel. The full blueprint is public at /certification.
Can we extend beyond 90 days?
Yes. Extension SOWs are milestone-billed with the same kill-switch structure — if a milestone slips, you stop paying. There is no long-tail retainer dressed up as an extension.
What if the engagement isn't delivering in the first 30 days?
You stop it. The SOW includes a 30-day checkpoint with a written go/no-go; either side can exit if the work isn't tracking. The alternative — a year-long SOW with a cancellation clause buried in Schedule G — is the problem this engagement was built to avoid.
How do your practitioners compare to traditional consulting firms?
They ship code in your repository. That's the one-line answer. The longer one lives on the methodology page, which is the same document we hand to your engineers on day one.
