Why OutcomeOps Instead
| What you need right now | GitHub Copilot / Cursor / Claude | ThoughtWorks / Big Consultancies | OutcomeOps (us) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to measurable ROI | Never (you still refactor 80%) | 9–24 months | 4–12 weeks |
| First invoice size | $10–$50 / seat / month (but 80% rework) | $2M–$20M+ (discovery phase alone) | $150k–$250k (complete pilot with ROI) |
| When you see working code | Immediately (wrong patterns) | Month 7+ (after design phase) | Week 2 (following YOUR standards) |
| Compliance / IP safety | Sends your code to Microsoft/OpenAI | Safe, but 50 strangers see everything | Air-gapped, zero external exfil |
| License compliance | May suggest GPL/copyleft code | Manual legal review (expensive) | Auto-detects prohibited licenses on every PR |
| Requires executive mandate? | No | Yes | No — one team can start Monday |
| Requires change-management theater? | No | Yes | No — champions sell it internally |
| Scales via politics or results? | N/A | Politics | Results (FOMO) |
| Who owns the standards long-term? | Microsoft / OpenAI | The consultancy (for 18 months) | You — forever, in versioned Markdown |
| What you actually get in 90 days | Faster typing | A 400-page roadmap | 100–200× velocity + autonomous PR review |
Most enterprises waste 12–36 months and $10M+ discovering they should have just started with us.
