A working Neo4j and GraphRAG prototype on your own data, with evaluations built in.

At a glance

Price
EUR 7,500–12,000 excl. VAT Guide range; a fixed price is agreed in the quotation after scoping
Time
2–3 weeks Depending on the agreed scope
Scope
One data slice and set of questions

Contracted with and invoiced by MILEAWAY AI SYSTEMS LIMITED.

Who it's for

Teams that have decided a knowledge graph is worth testing and want a working prototype on their own data, not a slide deck.

  • Teams already using Neo4j who want GraphRAG on top of their existing graph
  • Fintech and insurtech teams with connected data, such as customers, accounts, policies, claims or transactions
  • Startups that need evidence a graph improves answers before investing further

The problem it solves

Knowledge graph projects often stall between the diagram and the first useful query. A focused prototype answers the practical questions: what the graph model looks like, how the data gets in, and whether it actually improves the answers your users need.

What I build

  • A Neo4j graph model and ingestion pipeline for an agreed slice of your data
  • GraphRAG retrieval for an agreed set of questions
  • Evaluations from day one, comparing the prototype with a simpler baseline, such as vector-only retrieval, where that is useful

What you get

  • Working prototype code, in your repository or an agreed sandbox
  • Evaluation cases and results showing where the graph helps and where it doesn't
  • Documentation of the graph model, ingestion and retrieval
  • A handover session with your team

Scope, price and limits

  • One agreed data slice and set of questions
  • Your environment or an agreed sandbox
  • Scope, price and timeline agreed in writing before work starts

Limits. A prototype shows whether the approach works on your data. It is not production-hardened: security review, scaling and monitoring for production are scoped separately.

Prices are in euro and exclude VAT, which is added where applicable. Any third-party costs, such as model or cloud usage, are confirmed in the quotation. Engagements are contracted with and invoiced by MILEAWAY AI SYSTEMS LIMITED.

Next step

Send me what you want the prototype to prove and the data involved. I'll reply to arrange a discovery call, then send a written scope and quotation.

How it works

  1. Discovery and scope

    We agree the data slice, the questions the prototype must answer and how success will be measured. You receive a written scope and fixed-price quotation.

  2. Model and ingest

    I design the graph model with your team and load the agreed data into Neo4j.

  3. Retrieve and evaluate

    I build GraphRAG retrieval for the agreed questions and evaluate it against the agreed cases and a simpler baseline.

  4. Handover

    Code, documentation and results, walked through with your team, with a clear view of what it would take to go further.

Why work with me

I've built AI systems in financial services and insurance, and I speak and write in public about evaluating LLMs and putting knowledge graphs to work. You can check all of it.

Questions

Do we need Neo4j already?

No. The prototype is built on Neo4j, in your environment or an agreed sandbox. If you already run Neo4j, I build on your existing graph where that makes sense.

What does "evaluations built in" mean?

Every sprint includes agreed evaluation cases and results, so the decision to go further rests on evidence rather than a demo.

Who owns the code?

Ownership of the code and other deliverables is set out in the contract before work starts.

Can the prototype go to production?

It is built to be extended, but it is a prototype. Production work is scoped separately once you have seen the results.

How do you handle confidential data?

Access, data handling and confidentiality terms are agreed in writing as part of the scope, before any work starts. I only ask for the access the agreed work needs.
