Agent system
Agents, orchestration, models, tools, retrieval, memory and deterministic components where they belong.
Fikra Enterprise
Agent Pilot
Deploy one governed AI workflow into production.
Fikra designs, integrates, deploys and governs an AI agent workflow around one defined enterprise business process — with identity, authorization, policy enforcement, human approvals, auditability and production monitoring built in.

Build
Agents, workflows, tools and integrations.
Govern
Identity, authorization, policies and approvals.
Operate
Evaluation, auditability, monitoring and handover.
01 / The pilot
One workflow.
Production, not prototype.
The pilot takes one defined business process from discovery through production deployment. The implementation is deliberately bounded so the first deployment can be completed, evaluated and expanded.
02
Integrations
Up to three production integrations required by the selected workflow.
03
Governance
Agent identity, explicit permissions, runtime policies, approval controls and audit events.
04
Production
Evaluation, monitoring, operational documentation and a 30-day stabilization period.
02 / Governance
Controls around the action, not just the model.
Fikra treats the production agent as an operating principal. The system defines who it is, what it can access, what it may do, when a person must decide, and what happened.
01 / Identity
Every production agent has a defined identity.
Agent ID, owner, sponsor, environment, purpose, risk class and status establish a durable operating context.
02 / Authorization
Permissions define what the agent can actually do.
Access is explicit across resources and actions rather than being an unrestricted credential attached to a workflow.
03 / Policy
Business rules become runtime decisions.
ALLOW, DENY and REQUIRE_APPROVAL can be evaluated at the point of action.
04 / Audit
Actions and decisions are traceable.
Relevant agent activity, policies, approvals, tools, resources and results are recorded for operational visibility.
05 / Evaluation
The deployment is tested against an agreed evaluation set.
Normal, edge, failure, authorization and policy cases are tested before production acceptance.
03 / Delivery
Six to eight weeks from workflow to production.
01
Discovery
Map the workflow, systems, stakeholders, data boundaries, risks and success metrics.
02
Architecture
Design the agent, workflow, integrations, identity, authorization, policies and evaluation plan.
03
Build
Implement agents, workflow components, tools, retrieval, model routing, integrations and failure handling.
04
Govern
Configure agent identity, permissions, runtime policies, approval paths and audit events.
05
Evaluate
Run the agreed test suite, address critical findings and produce the evaluation report.
06
Deploy
Move into the agreed production environment, establish monitoring and complete operational handover.
07
Stabilize
Resolve agreed issues during the 30-day stabilization period and define the next expansion step.
04 / Fit
Start with a workflow that has clear boundaries.
The strongest first pilots are high-frequency, measurable, digitally connected processes where permissions and exceptions can be defined.
FINANCE
Invoice processing
Extract, validate, match and route invoices with approval controls.
IT
IT operations
Triage, diagnose, recommend and execute bounded remediation.
PROCUREMENT
Supplier workflows
Research, validate, route and approve procurement actions.
CUSTOMER OPS
Support operations
Classify, retrieve, draft, escalate and act within explicit boundaries.
COMPLIANCE
Document workflows
Collect, extract, review, flag and escalate document-heavy processes.
SALES OPS
Lead operations
Research accounts, enrich CRM data, route leads and trigger follow-up.
05 / Entry modes
Build with Fikra, or bring the AI you already have.
Option A
BUILD
Build with Fikra
You bring the business workflow. Fikra designs and implements the agents, workflow components, integrations and governance layer required to take it into production.
Best when the AI workflow does not yet exist.
Option B
BRING
Bring existing AI
You bring an existing agent, workflow or prototype. Where technically supported, Fikra adds the required integration and governance layer around it.
Best when the AI exists but production controls do not.
06 / Included
A defined implementation, not an open-ended consulting engagement.

Standard scope
One business workflow · one production environment · 1–3 agents depending on architecture · up to 3 standard production integrations · governance framework · evaluation · documentation · 30-day stabilization.
Separately scoped
Additional workflows or environments, large agent fleets, more than 3 production integrations, major custom software development, custom model training, large-scale migration, extensive legacy modernization, private/on-premise deployments, 24/7 managed operations, enterprise-wide rollout, regulatory certification or bespoke compliance consulting.
The boundary
The $25K pilot is intentionally a defined implementation. Complexity outside the standard scope is separately quoted rather than silently absorbed into the pilot.
08 / Acceptance
Success is defined before production.
Functional
The agreed workflow performs the required functions, connects to the agreed systems and handles defined exceptions.
Governance
Production agents have identity, defined permissions, enforced policies, appropriate approvals and auditable activity.
Evaluation
The agreed evaluation suite is executed and critical findings are addressed or documented.
Operational
Production deployment, monitoring, documentation and handover are complete.
09 / FAQ
The practical questions.
10 / Start a pilot
Start with one workflow. Expand when it works.
Tell us the workflow, systems involved and where the current process breaks down. We'll determine whether it fits the standard pilot scope.
