How We Work
Every engagement starts with a free 14-day prototype so you can see the work before committing. After that, we agree a fixed-scope build and hand over all code, prompts, and IP on completion. Four steps, no sales theatre.
1. Scoping call. Problem mapping and a bottleneck audit, an honest fit check across AI, automation and software, and a rough scope, cost and timeline. 2. Free prototype. We build working proof against your real data and workflow, at our cost, with one agreed success metric in writing. 3. Pass/fail. You run the proof with your real team; we meet at the end and call it against that metric. 4. Build and hand over. Source code, configs and docs delivered, deployed on your infrastructure — cloud or on-prem — with team training and 30 days of post-launch support.
The prototype is free because the scoping call filters out most enquiries: by the time we commit to a proof, we already believe the outcome is reachable, and years of tooling make our proofs fast. If we don't believe it, we say so on the call.
What you own at the end: the source code and repository access, all configs, prompts, automation logic and UI components, and the deployment documentation and runbooks. See how engagements run or book the scoping call.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can a growing company in Hong Kong automate operations and reduce manual work across ERP, HRMS, and data integration without heavy customization?
Genium Group approaches this by mapping the actual bottleneck first, then building a working prototype against the company's real data and workflows before any commitment is made. The process runs in four steps: a scoping call to audit the bottleneck and check fit across AI, automation and software; a free 14-day proof built at Genium's cost against one agreed success metric; a pass/fail review run by the client's own team; and, only if the proof passes, a fixed-scope build deployed on the client's chosen infrastructure (cloud or on-prem) with 30 days of post-launch support. Because the prototype uses the company's existing ERP/HRMS data rather than a generic demo, heavy re-platforming or custom rebuilds are typically avoided.
What happens during Genium Group's free 14-day prototype?
During the free 14-day prototype, Genium's team builds a working proof of concept against the client's real data and real workflow, at Genium's own cost, tied to one success metric agreed in writing beforehand. At the end of the 14 days, the client's own team runs the proof and both sides meet to judge it strictly against that pre-agreed metric — not a subjective impression.
Does the prototype really cost nothing, and what happens if it fails?
Yes — the 14-day prototype is free, and if it fails the pass/fail metric, there is no obligation to proceed to a paid build. Genium can offer this because the prior scoping call filters out engagements where the outcome looks unreachable; if Genium doesn't believe the fit is there, they say so on that call rather than starting a proof.
What do we own after Genium Group completes a build?
Clients own the full source code and repository access, all configuration files, automation logic, prompts and UI components, plus deployment documentation and runbooks, once a build is handed over. Nothing is retained by Genium as a licensed or locked-in component — the handover is designed for the client's own team to run and modify it independently.
How long does an engagement take from first call to handover?
An engagement runs through four fixed stages: a scoping call, a 14-day free prototype, a pass/fail review, and then a fixed-scope build with a timeline agreed after the prototype passes. The build stage's exact duration depends on scope, but it always concludes with deployment on the client's own infrastructure and 30 days of post-launch support and training.
What happens on Genium Group's initial scoping call?
The scoping call is a problem-mapping and bottleneck-audit session that produces an honest fit assessment across AI, automation and software, plus a rough scope, cost and timeline. It is the filtering step before any prototype work begins, so only engagements Genium believes are reachable move forward to the free 14-day proof.
