Pay for Software Changes.
Not Developers, Teams or Sprints.

AI-MSL transforms software delivery from a staffing model into a managed software lifecycle. Maintenance keeps your system continuously healthy, while every new software change is evaluated, estimated, approved, and delivered through a governed AI-powered process.

Commercial Model

A Commercial Model Designed
for Continuous Software Evolution

Proactive Software Maintenance

AI-MSL continuously maintains your software so it remains secure, compatible, well-documented, and ready for future changes—without retaining developers for routine maintenance activities.

  • Security patches & bug fixes
  • Library & framework updates
  • Operating system compatibility
  • Browser & device compatibility
  • API & platform updates
  • Documentation synchronization
  • Small product enhancements
  • Technical debt reduction
  • Continuous quality validation
  • Engineering knowledge maintenance

Reduce maintenance cost while improving software quality, security, and long-term sustainability.

Pay-per-Change

Deliver new features through a governed AI-powered lifecycle. Every change is evaluated, estimated, implemented, tested, and approved before delivery.

  • Requirements refinement & PRD completion
  • Impact & dependency analysis
  • Complexity & DevCredit estimation
  • Specification generation
  • AI-powered implementation & testing
  • Expert review & quality validation
  • Production-ready delivery package
  • Updated AppGraph & documentation

Pay only for software changes that create business value—not for engineering capacity waiting for work.

How It Works

How AI-MSL Pricing Works

AI-MSL separates the cost of keeping your software healthy from the cost of introducing new business capabilities. The Assessment establishes a predictable maintenance cost, while every new feature or major change is estimated and approved independently.

Assessment

Establishes your engineering baseline and defines the predictable monthly cost for corrective, adaptive, and security maintenance.

Continuous Software Readiness

One monthly service covering all ongoing maintenance—expert AI Lifecycle Engineer supervision included.

Plan New Business Changes

AI-assisted Product Management: scope, timeline, and DevCredit estimate before any development starts.

AI-MSL Delivery

Submit the approved PRD—get expert-reviewed, tested, production-ready delivery.

The Assessment analyzes your software ecosystem—source code, documentation, architecture, infrastructure, and engineering knowledge—to build AppGraph and establish a trusted engineering baseline for scoping maintenance and estimating future initiatives.

You get

  • AppGraph & Engineering Knowledge Base
  • Quality, complexity & maintainability evaluation
  • Continuous Software Readiness scope
  • Modernization opportunities & priorities
  • Baseline for estimating future changes

A clearly defined maintenance scope and predictable monthly cost—typically a fraction of the cost of retaining equivalent development capacity.

AI-MSL continuously monitors the maintenance your software needs to stay secure, compatible, and ready for future development. Every required update gets a detailed PRD, an AppGraph-validated impact analysis, and AI Lifecycle Engineer approval before implementation through the governed lifecycle.

Included activities

  • Corrective, adaptive & security maintenance
  • Framework, library, OS, browser & API updates
  • Documentation, AppGraph & quality validation
  • Small enhancements within the agreed scope

The package defined during the Assessment is typically sufficient to cover all routine maintenance and small product enhancements.

For a new feature, integration, or modernization initiative, AI-MSL guides Product Owners through an AI-assisted Product Management workflow: it refines and validates requirements against AppGraph, analyzes system impact, and prepares an implementation-ready PRD with delivery scope, timeline, and cost estimate.

You receive

  • AI-assisted Product Management—included in your Readiness service
  • Finalized, validated PRD ready for implementation
  • AppGraph-powered impact & dependency analysis
  • Delivery timeline & DevCredit estimate

The completed PRD is your asset: implement it with your own team, another partner—or submit it to AI-MSL for governed, expert-reviewed delivery.

AI-MSL transforms the approved PRD into detailed specifications, generates the implementation, performs automated validation and testing, updates documentation, and prepares a production-ready merge request. Every change passes five governed review gates supervised by AI Lifecycle Engineers.

Included

  • Specifications generated from the approved PRD
  • AI-powered code implementation
  • AI Lifecycle Engineer review at every gate
  • Automated testing & validation
  • Production-ready merge request

Pay only for approved software changes that are governed, reviewed, tested, and delivered ready for production deployment.

Usage

How DevCredits Are Used

DevCredits are AI-MSL's standard accounting unit for software delivery. They simplify budgeting by covering the complete governed software lifecycle—including AI execution, infrastructure, expert supervision, testing, documentation, and governance—in a single transparent unit.

Continuous Software Readiness

What does our monthly package cover?

The monthly Continuous Software Readiness package includes a predefined allocation of DevCredits that covers the agreed maintenance scope established during the Assessment.

These DevCredits:

  • Are replenished every month
  • Cover routine maintenance activities included in your package
  • Expire at the end of each billing period

Security Updates−450 DC
Bug Fixes−2,400 DC
Vendor API Updates−300 DC
Small Enhancements−600 DC
Remaining This Month550 DC

New Features & Business Changes

How do we budget a new feature?

Every approved PRD receives its own DevCredit estimate based on implementation complexity. This allows every new software initiative to be budgeted and approved independently before implementation starts.

These DevCredits:

  • Purchase individually or in discounted packages
  • Reserved for approved changes and never expire
  • Consumed only after delivery, review, and testing

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from just using AI tools like Claude Code or Copilot?

AI-MSL is not about helping developers code faster — it replaces the need to manage development altogether through an end-to-end AI-powered lifecycle with governance.

It operates on a system-wide context (AppGraph) and enforces a governed lifecycle with supervision, ensuring all changes remain coherent, validated, and production-ready.

Why wouldn't I just keep using my existing dev team with AI tools?

You can — but that model still depends on people coordinating, interpreting requirements, reviewing code, and managing releases. AI tools improve individual productivity, not system-level consistency, lifecycle governance, dependency alignment, or long-term maintainability.

AI-MSL removes dependency on developer coordination by introducing system-wide context awareness, end-to-end lifecycle execution, and expert supervision at key decision points.

What happens to my code ownership?

You retain full ownership of your code, repositories, and all generated assets. AI-MSL operates on your system in a similar way to a development vendor or internal team — but with full traceability, structured changes, and consistent lifecycle governance. There is no lock-in to proprietary formats or hidden dependencies.

How secure is it to share my repository and data?

AI-MSL follows the same or stricter security model as working with a trusted engineering team or MSP. Your code remains in your repositories, access is controlled and auditable, data is not used to train external models, and outputs are stored in your environment.

What do I actually need to provide to get started?

You need access to your system and the ability to describe your goals. AI-MSL builds system understanding from your existing assets and improves it over time. You don't need perfectly structured documentation — the system evolves its understanding as it works with your codebase.
