Answers about For f's five service areas.
START A PROJECT
About engagement and process
Q.Which service should I choose?+
Start with AI and data analytics for AI or analysis, custom development for business systems, and operations and maintenance for live systems. Choose website design for websites and landing pages, or graphic design for brochures and sales materials. If your challenge spans several areas, start with the problem you want to solve.
Q.Can we talk before requirements or a budget are decided?+
Yes. We start with your current workflow, challenges and desired outcome, then propose scope, deliverables and an approach. A complete specification is not required.
Q.How do AI discovery, PoC and production development differ?+
Discovery defines the workflow and adoption approach. A PoC evaluates feasibility and value within a focused scope. Production development builds the system required for real usage and operations. PoC outputs and production deliverables are agreed separately.
Q.Does commissioning a PoC commit us to full development?+
We confirm the scope and terms of the phase you need. Subsequent phases depend on findings, open issues and expected value. Continuation terms are confirmed before starting.
Q.How are cost and timing determined?+
They depend on the workflow, functionality, environment, data, deliverables and team required. We propose scope, cost and timing individually, with the pricing page as an additional reference.
Q.What should we prepare before an estimate?+
Current workflows, systems or materials, areas to improve and desired timing help define the work. Share what is available, after confirming sharing boundaries and confidentiality requirements.
Q.Can the scope change during a project?+
We discuss the change and its effect on cost, timing and deliverables. Additional work is scoped and agreed before it begins.
Q.Can you support us after delivery or launch?+
Yes. We can discuss operations, maintenance, feature improvements and website updates. Availability, monitoring and update work depend on the agreed contract.
AI & DATA
About AI and data analytics
Q.Can we commission only a PoC?+
Yes. We agree on the validation scope, evaluation method and deliverables. The production decision can follow the results.
Q.Can we start if our data is not organized?+
We first review data locations and formats. If preparation is needed, we propose that scope separately from AI development.
Q.Do we need both Snowflake and Google Cloud?+
No. We assess the existing environment, volumes, access needs and operating structure to choose an appropriate architecture.
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
About custom system development
Q.Can we start without a specification?+
Yes. We can begin with requirements discovery based on your current work and objectives. Bring any available documentation to the first conversation.
Q.Can development start with a subset of functions?+
We review the environment and functional dependencies, then propose a scope that can be introduced independently.
Q.Can you work on a system developed by another company?+
We review source code, access rights and architecture documentation to establish what can be supported and what handover work is needed.
OPERATIONS & CARE
About operations and maintenance
Q.Can you take over support for another provider's system?+
We assess documentation, code, permissions and contract terms before deciding. Start with a current-state review.
Q.Do you provide 24/7 support?+
Availability, monitoring and emergency arrangements are discussed individually. We confirm the required service level and the scope we can support.
Q.Are new features included in maintenance fees?+
It depends on the contract. We distinguish incident response, minor changes and new functionality, and confirm costs before starting.
WEB DESIGN
About website design
Q.Can we talk before copy and photos are ready?+
Yes. We review supplied assets and include any necessary copy preparation, photography or asset sourcing in the proposed scope and estimate.
Q.Can you build just a landing page?+
Yes. We review the service, traffic sources and intended action, then define the structure the landing page needs.
Q.Can you improve just part of an existing website?+
We review its architecture and management setup before confirming whether partial changes are practical. We can also compare them with a full redesign.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
About graphic and print design
Q.Can you arrange printing?+
We agree in advance whether the scope includes print coordination or delivery of print-ready files. Quantity, paper, finishing and deadlines are discussed individually.
Q.Can you create the website and print materials together?+
Yes. We organize shared information and assets to create a consistent expression across web and print.
Q.Can we start while copy and photography are still being prepared?+
We can begin with existing material. Additional writing, photography and illustration work is proposed after confirming the required scope.
