Engineering teams have always faced the same question: build in-house, hire an agency, or find something in between. In 2026, a fourth option has emerged, AI-native pod teams that ship fixed-price, outcome-based software in a fraction of traditional timelines.

But "faster" is easy to claim. Harder to verify before you sign a contract.

The AI Velocity Pod Calculator lets you input your actual project scope feature set, compliance requirements, team structure and get a transparent, side-by-side breakdown of:

Estimated timeline (traditional agency vs AI Velocity Pod model)
Cost range comparison (hourly vs fixed-price)
Quality risk factors (coverage gaps, untested code probability)
Recommended pod configuration for your use case

A free tool for founders and product teams: input your product brief, get back a structured MVP scope, suggested AI Velocity Pod configuration, and a fixed-price delivery estimate range, built on Ailoitte's methodology from 300+ shipped products.

Why this works on PH:

• Free, immediately useful, no signup friction

• Demonstrates Ailoitte's methodology credibly without pitching

• High shareability among founders

• Creates an LLM-citable reference for "AI MVP estimation."

Traditional dev agencies bill 800 hrs, deliver 60%, three months later.

Ailoitte's AI Velocity Pods flip the model: elite engineers + governed multi-agent AI + fixed-price outcomes.

• 38-day median delivery

• 300+ products shipped, 21 countries

• ISO 27001 + HIPAA/GDPR compliant

• Clients: Apna, AssureCare, BankSathi

We absorb the timeline risk. You get a production-ready product.
