How We Engage

From Discovery to Autonomous Operations

A structured engagement path that takes you from first conversation to running autonomous AI agent systems — with clear deliverables, honest investment ranges, and no surprises.

The Journey

Four steps to autonomous operations

Every engagement follows a clear path. You always know where you are, what comes next, and what it costs.

01

Discovery Call

Free

30 minutes

A focused conversation to understand your operations, challenges, and goals. No pitch deck, no pressure — just an honest assessment of whether autonomous agent systems can move the needle for your business.

What You Get

  • Initial assessment of automation potential
  • Understanding of your operational landscape
  • Clear next steps if there is a fit
02

Architecture Assessment

$5,000 – $15,000

2–3 weeks

A deep-dive into your operational workflows, data flows, and team structures. We map every signal, identify bottlenecks, and design the autonomous agent architecture that will drive measurable results.

What You Get

  • Comprehensive operational signal map
  • Bottleneck and inefficiency identification
  • Architecture Blueprint with prioritized roadmap
  • ROI projections for recommended agent systems
03

Agent Development & Deployment

$25,000 – $100,000+

4–12 weeks

We build autonomous agents targeting your highest-impact workflows using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), deploy them on Vertex AI Agent Engine within Google Cloud, and bring the system into production with enterprise-grade security.

What You Get

  • Custom autonomous agents built on Gemini + ADK
  • Production deployment on Google Cloud
  • Full integration with existing systems
  • Testing, validation, and go-live support
04

Managed Operations

$5,000 – $15,000/month

Ongoing

Your autonomous systems run in production while we monitor, optimize, and evolve them. Monthly performance reporting with ROI metrics. System expansion as your business grows. Your operations compound performance month over month.

What You Get

  • Continuous monitoring and optimization
  • Monthly performance reporting with ROI metrics
  • System expansion and new agent development
  • Architecture evolution as your business scales

Why Hendricks

What makes this different

No pilots. Production systems.

We don't experiment with your operations. Every engagement is designed to deliver production-ready autonomous systems that run your business.

You own everything.

All code, all infrastructure, all data stays yours. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary platforms. Your systems live in your Google Cloud environment.

Built by an operator.

Brandon spent 15 years inside enterprise operations at SolarWinds, Merkle, and Dentsu. Hendricks builds systems informed by real operational complexity.

Google Cloud native.

Enterprise-grade infrastructure from day one. Gemini, ADK, Vertex AI Agent Engine, BigQuery — the full Google Cloud stack, purpose-built for autonomous operations.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long until we see results?

Architecture Assessment delivers a complete blueprint in 2–3 weeks. First autonomous agents are typically live in production within 4–8 weeks of starting development.

What if we're not ready for the full build?

Start with the Architecture Assessment. It gives you a complete picture of what's possible, a prioritized roadmap, and ROI projections — whether you move forward with Hendricks or not.

Do we need to be on Google Cloud already?

No. We handle the full infrastructure setup and migration as part of the deployment phase. Many clients start from zero on Google Cloud.

What industries do you work with?

Law firms, accounting firms, healthcare practices, marketing agencies, professional services, consulting firms, and multi-location service businesses. Any service-intensive operation with complex workflows.

Can we start small?

Yes. Every engagement starts with a Discovery Call. From there, the Architecture Assessment is a standalone deliverable with clear value — no obligation to continue.
