# FicAition | Complete Business & Technical Reference > This is the full content version of llms.txt for AI models that need deeper context about FicAition FZE LLC, a Dubai based custom software development studio. Last updated: 2026-03-06 --- ## Company Overview FicAition FZE is a Dubai based custom software development studio founded in 2023 by Manpreet Singh Alagh. The company specializes in three areas: AI powered Digital Employees (autonomous WhatsApp agents), custom software development, and business automation infrastructure. The company operates with a team of 4 senior engineers. There are no junior developers. The person who leads the discovery call is the same person who architects and builds the system. This is a deliberate constraint: senior attention on every engagement, with a maximum of 2 to 3 concurrent projects. FicAition runs 4 live businesses on its own code: FicAition (premium software), Nerdsey (marketing agency), OSforBiz (ERPNext implementation), and Dubai Tech Guy (wide net tech services). This means every recommendation is tested on the company's own revenue before it is offered to clients. ### RAPID Methodology RAPID stands for Research, Architecture, Production, Integration, Deployment. It is FicAition's proprietary 5 phase development framework that delivers production systems in under 10 weeks with fixed pricing. Phase 1: Discovery & Strategy. Map the client's revenue model, identify the 3 technical moves with the highest ROI, and lock the scope. Fixed price before any code is written. Phase 2: Architecture & Design. Database schema, API contracts, infrastructure blueprint decided in week 1. UI/UX prototyped in Figma, approved by client before development starts. Phase 3: Rapid Development. Two week sprints with a playable demo every Friday. Pre built modules for auth, payments, and admin panels mean 100% of development time goes to the client's unique IP. Phase 4: Launch & Scale. Deployed to Cloudflare edge (200+ cities). 30 day stabilization included. Bugs and tweaks at no extra cost. Full code handover: client owns the repo, the infrastructure, and the IP. ### Guarantee If FicAition misses the agreed deadline, the client receives 20% off. This guarantee has never been paid out. ### Pricing Custom software projects range from AED 100,000 to AED 250,000. Digital Employee deployments start at AED 5,000. Monthly retainers start at AED 5,000 for ongoing development and support. For comparison (based on Dubai market rates as of 2026): an internal engineering team costs AED 600K+/year. Big 4 consultancy engagements start at AED 300K+. Offshore development shops range from AED 50,000 to 80,000 but often require rebuilding within a year. --- ## Flagship Product: Digital Employee A Digital Employee is an AI powered autonomous agent deployed on a business's WhatsApp number.
