Frequently asked questions

What we're always asked

How long does it take to get an AI project into production?
An honest pilot starts in 4–6 weeks. A production system with MLOps takes 10 to 16 weeks depending on complexity. We turn down projects that don't have a clear metric before starting.
Do you work with our current stack or impose your own?
Our stack is yours. We integrate with whatever you already have in production — AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem. We only propose changes when the cost of maintaining what exists exceeds the cost of migrating.
How is the ROI of a project with Forcast measured?
Before writing a single line of code, we define 1–3 business KPIs (time, cost, quality or revenue) and their baselines. We deliver live dashboards from the first production sprint.
What happens when the project ends?
We include technical handover, operable documentation and maintenance support with a clear SLA. Ownership of the code and models is 100% the client's.
Do you work outside LATAM?
Our focus is Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. We have done specific projects in the US and Spain, but always with an operational anchor in LATAM.
