## About this market
The project work documented in Amsterdam runs from short fixed-fee engagements to phased builds. Amsterdam Data Collective ran an eight-week fixed-fee fare-pricing engagement, and its markdown work for an apparel retailer reports 5–10% revenue growth in three months. DEUS phases its projects from a one-to-two-week ambition stage to six to ten weeks of development, and its RTL engagement produced an AI playbook and proof of concept identifying 50+ opportunities. WeAreBrain works project by project through a three-phase framework: its implementation for the Dutch law firm Pulsr is published as halving research time, and HEINEKEN's receipt validation read 30,000-plus receipts, about 80% of them correctly without a person. Boldare sells fixed-price engagements of six to ten weeks, such as Traffic Family's six-week comparison-site rebuild with OpenAI-generated product content.

The sorting question is what the project left in your hands when it closed. A fixed-price build ends on a date; the useful evidence is whether the system was still running, and measured, a year later. The curator notes that Boldare's live AI cases report nothing after launch, that DEUS publishes no containment or escalation rates for its voice work, and that ADC's library mixes AI with BI. Ask each candidate for the evaluation set, pipelines and documentation a finished project handed over, and who on the client side took ownership of them.

### How is the project-based model verified?
