Clockworks builds deep-learning imaging systems from the Groothandelsgebouw, with Stedin, Brabant Water, NVWA and Euro Pool System named across four case studies—its Blicker meter-reading product handles hundreds of thousands of API requests a day. 010 Coding Collective builds production machine learning with a five-person senior team, Lizard Global brings custom software and AI at larger scale, and Blackbirds builds planning and compliance workflow automation. The screen that matters is what runs after handover. Clockworks operates a product; the others deliver systems you will own. Ask which you are buying and whose infrastructure it lives on. With Lizard Global specifically, ask where the engineers sit—its delivery teams are in Asia by design, which is a legitimate model and a fair thing to establish before scoping. ## Questions buyers ask ### How much do AI Development agencies in Rotterdam charge?
