Zeroth Agents' standard engagement model is a phased approach: Discovery (2-4 weeks), Build (6-12 weeks), and Delivery/Stabilization (4 weeks), with clear go/no-go gates between phases.

The phased model ensures clients commit to a discovery investment before a full build, reducing scope risk. Go/no-go gates between phases allow both parties to re-evaluate fit, scope, and timeline based on real findings.
