Two weeks. A fixed fee. A map you keep.
Bandicoot inventories what you rent, rebuilds the tools you actually need on your own accounts, and hands them over. Code, data and credentials stay yours.

About us
Bandicoot is an AI and ownership consultancy in Hong Kong. The premise is plain: a company should fully own all the software it generates together, including what its agents generate. Data ownership is a consequence; the software is the thing that gets kept.
We work with companies of 20 to 200 people whose numbers take weeks to assemble: ecommerce operators, licensed professional firms, distributors and agencies with a finance lead. The question is usually the same one — what are we actually paying for, and what would it take to own it instead?

To us
Code in your repository, data in your database, runs on your accounts.
Key features
Every service starts with the same two-week diagnostic and ends with something running on your accounts. Start with the one costing you the most hours.
View all nine services01 · Audit
You cannot stop renting what you cannot see. We inventory every subscription, seat and renewal, follow where the data lives, and time the work people do between systems.
02 · Back office
Invoices, email, documents and calls are read and matched, then written into the accounting, CRM and ticketing systems you already own. One exception queue is left for a person.
03 · Knowledge
Finance handbooks, procedures and contracts answered in plain language with the paragraph cited, from your documents rather than the open web.
04 · Checks
Reports, invoices and submissions are checked against your rules before they leave, every one rather than a sample, with failures queued for a person and the reason attached.
The handover
That is the kill test, and it is the whole claim. A walkthrough of a real handover belongs here, filmed rather than staged. Until there is one to publish, the button opens the standard in writing.

Benefits
The work is judged on three tests — kill, stranger, handover — rather than on a feeling about the last workshop. These are the five things those tests protect.
The repository is yours from week one, with the commit history and a README that explains it. We do not keep a private copy that only we can run.
It runs on your accounts, in your database, with your credentials. Delete our access and wait thirty days: the work still gets done without us.
Scripts fetch, transform and validate the numbers. The model writes code and explains it, so a wrong figure has a line of code behind it rather than a prompt.
The diagnostic is two weeks and the project is quoted after it, never before. There is no open-ended day count and no subscription to us.
Same timezone, same regulator, same language, and someone on site when the work needs it. Singapore and Australia as the work travels.
Three steps
The diagnostic is two weeks, in two halves, and then one project. Each step ends with a document or a system in your hands, not a slide.
Week one. We count what you rent and time what it costs you to use it, with the people who run the work rather than the people who bought the software.
Week two. The inventory becomes a shortlist, and every line on it carries a cost to own and a saving you can check. Then we argue it through with you.
One service, fixed scope, delivered on your accounts. We document it, train the team that will own it, and then we leave.
Start with the two weeks. The map is yours either way.
Book the two-week diagnosticPricing
The diagnostic is the only ask: two weeks, a fixed fee, and the map is yours. A project is quoted afterwards, never before. The care plan is optional and the system runs without it.
Fees are quoted per company, because twenty subscriptions and two hundred are different jobs. No subscription to us, and no annual discount to argue about.

FAQ
If the answer is not here, ask it directly: hello@bandicoot.ai. We would rather answer it once on this page than twice on a call.
A stack inventory with owners and renewal dates, a data map showing every source and what it costs to reach, the close and the planning cycle timed rather than estimated, and a ranked list of replacements with a cost and a saving against each one. The arithmetic behind every figure is included so you can challenge it.
Two weeks, fixed fee, agreed before we start. It is quoted per company because twenty subscriptions and two hundred are different jobs. Any project afterwards is quoted separately and only after the diagnostic, never before.
Yes, and that is the point. Code goes into your repository, data into your database, and the running system onto your accounts. You keep the credentials and the documentation, so cancelling us does not switch anything off.
After handover we delete our access and wait thirty days. If the work still gets done, the report still arrives and the logins still work, the system was yours. If any of that stops, the project was not finished.
A developer who has never met us opens the repository, reads the README and ships one change in a day, without asking us anything. That is the standard the documentation has to meet before we call a handover done.
No. Scripts fetch, transform and validate the figures, and the model writes code and explains it. We do not let a model compute the numbers that go into a report, because a wrong figure needs a line of code to point at.
Hong Kong first, then Singapore and Australia. The work is done on your systems and handed over in writing, so distance matters less than access and a shared working day, but we start where we can be in the room.
Journal
The three funnel pages are the long versions: what an invoice costs when three people touch it, why the Monday report takes all of Monday, and what stops when the data entry stops.
The one ask
A fixed-fee diagnostic: the stack, the data and the cycle times, with a ranked list of what to fix first. You keep the document whether or not you use us.
