Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Services
What services does R&D Teams offer?
R&D Teams provides three core services: AI Development (chatbots, automation, data analysis tools), Mobile App Development (iOS and Android apps using Flutter), and an AI Audit — a $2,500 engagement that maps every AI opportunity in your business and delivers a working prototype in 2 weeks.
What industries do you work with?
We serve businesses across multiple industries including law firms, e-commerce/DTC brands, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and professional services. Our solutions are tailored to the specific needs and regulations of each industry.
What technologies do you use?
For mobile apps, we primarily use Flutter for cross-platform development (iOS + Android from one codebase). For AI, we work with OpenAI, Claude, and custom ML models. Our backend stack includes Node.js, Python, Firebase, Supabase, and various cloud platforms.
Working With Us
How does the engagement process work?
We start with a free 30-minute consultation to understand your needs. From there, we provide a proposal with scope, timeline, and pricing. Once approved, we work in 2-week sprints with regular check-ins so you see progress fast.
What are your communication hours?
We're available during US business hours (9am-6pm Eastern) for meetings and real-time communication. We respond to all messages within 24 hours, and urgent matters are addressed same-day.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. We offer flexible engagement models. You can start with a single project and scale up when ready. We do offer retainer agreements for ongoing work, but they're optional and month-to-month.
How do you handle intellectual property?
All code and intellectual property we create belongs to you. We sign NDAs before starting any project, and our contracts clearly state that you own everything we build.
Pricing & Timeline
How much do your services cost?
Projects start at $2,500 for an AI Audit. A focused AI tool (chatbot, document automation) runs $5K-$25K. A full mobile app is typically $30K-$100K. Full platform builds with AI can go to $150K+. Ongoing retainer support is $3K-$5K/month. We provide fixed-price quotes — no time-and-materials billing.
How long does a typical project take?
An AI Audit takes 2 weeks. A mobile app MVP typically takes 6-12 weeks. Full platform builds can take 3-6 months. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout.
What is the AI Audit?
Our $2,500 AI Audit is a 2-week engagement where we map every AI opportunity in your business (each with ROI estimates), build a working prototype of your highest-impact opportunity, and deliver an implementation roadmap. You own everything. Money-back guarantee if we can't find clear ROI.
Security & Compliance
How do you handle data security?
We follow SOC 2 practices, use 256-bit encryption for all data in transit and at rest, and implement role-based access controls. We're happy to sign BAAs for healthcare clients and comply with industry-specific regulations.
Are you HIPAA compliant?
We build HIPAA-aware systems for healthcare clients. This includes encrypted data storage, audit logging, access controls, and BAA agreements. We work with your compliance team to ensure all requirements are met.
