Why Phoenix teams choose FDE over a traditional AI consulting firm
Local senior AI hiring in Phoenix now averages 6 months from req to start. A consulting firm gives you a deck and a junior offshore team. FDE Team gives you a senior pod delivering production outcomes in 6–8 weeks, billed per pod per month with full IP transfer.
- Senior-only pods — every engineer ships into production in week one
- On your stack: your repo, your CI, your data warehouse, your IdP
- Model-agnostic by default — Claude, GPT, and Gemini all first-class
- 6–8 week production deployment produces a working production use case
- Timezone overlap with Phoenix business hours
