About this list
Project work documented in Ljubljana is small-team and scoped, and the record is unusually explicit about terms. Indigo Labs' project pages publish duration, team size, budget band and stack: the multilingual assistant for the University of Ljubljana's Faculty of Mechanical Engineering ran two months with one engineer, and the ESG ON platform for RISO pre-fills EU ESG reporting templates from uploaded documents, reports a 70% cut in double-materiality analysis time and is described as an MVP in testing. MS iHub's checkable AI case is the TehnoLES generator that wrote 15,000-plus product descriptions for a woodworking-tools store, reported at 25% more clicks, though the figure differs between pages; its Henkel workforce-planning tool is called AI-assisted with no model or method named. Alpdev names every reference: for Polfin, a three-score lead model over a 35,000-lead CRM with a language-model-derived intent score, and for Bent, a support assistant that recommends products by linking to ERP catalog entries rather than generating them.
The sorting question here is what happens in the months after the scoped build ends. Published team sizes at Indigo Labs run one to three people per project and several flagships are MVPs in testing; MS iHub's warranty runs one month and its site names no one but the founder; Alpdev was founded in 2025 with fewer than ten people and no reference carries a measured outcome. Ask which named system is live with real users today, who maintains it and what that costs, then ask the client whose numbers were measured.

Expert Insight
Why project-based fit matters
A fixed scope protects both sides only when the acceptance criteria are written: ask for them before the rate, because a project without them becomes a retainer nobody agreed to.
The handover decides whether the project was an asset or a dependency: pipelines, evaluation sets and retraining procedures belong in the deliverables list.
The pilot-to-production gap is the main risk of project work in AI: the case studies here that describe operations and measured results are the ones that show an agency has crossed it.
