00 / READINESS CHECK

Where is your
AI project stuck?

Answer four quick questions and get a stage-by-stage read on what is holding your project back. It takes a minute, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to share it.

Where is the project today?
How reachable is the data it needs?
Security and compliance review?
Who owns the outcome?

A quick, rule-based check built from what we see on real projects. It is a starting point, not a substitute for a conversation.

What people usually ask before the first call.

01

What does Hot Pixel Group do?

+

We are a principal-led engineering firm that takes AI pilots into production. We build agentic AI systems, fintech and Bitcoin/Lightning infrastructure, and enterprise-scale platforms for Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups.

02

Where is Hot Pixel Group located?

+

We are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Phoenix, Arizona. We work on site with clients across the Twin Cities and the Phoenix and Scottsdale area, and remotely with companies nationwide.

03

How do we get started?

+

With a free evaluation: a working session with a principal on where your AI work stands today. If there is a fit, the usual next step is the 10-Day Agent Readiness Sprint, a fixed-scope engagement that ends with a ranked roadmap, a reference architecture, and a working prototype.

04

Who actually does the work?

+

The principals. There are no account managers and no hand-offs to junior developers. The people on your first call are the people who design and write your system.

05

How does an engagement run?

+

Discovery and architecture typically take one to two weeks. After that we build in two-week sprints with working software at every checkpoint, then handle deployment, monitoring, and long-term support.

06

Do you build on Bitcoin and Lightning?

+

Yes. Bitcoin and Lightning are a core specialty. We build fintech and investment platforms and the Bitcoin and Lightning integrations behind them, with the controls finance and compliance teams need.
