# OCTYN vs Neurons Lab

Both keep improving systems after launch. Neurons Lab specializes in financial services, starts with a discovery phase, and co-creates with client teams through embedded delivery. OCTYN builds for established companies across industries, starts with a paid mapping that ends in one fixed price in writing, and runs each system itself after launch.

## Side by side

| --- | --- | --- |
| How it describes itself | An intelligent systems firm. Each system is custom-built for one company, then run and kept current by OCTYN. | "Agentic AI Adoption for Financial Services" |
| How it starts | A paid mapping of the operation, the Consult, which sets the scope and measures a baseline. | "Engagements typically start with a discovery phase to align on business goals, assess infrastructure, and identify promising AI use cases." |
| How it is priced | One fixed price, in writing, after the Consult; then a monthly fee to run it. | Per project, with amounts on its site |

| Who it is for | An established company whose team does the same work by hand every week. | "We build across Wealth Management, Retail & Corporate Banking, Private Banking, SME Banking, and Insurance, translating strategic AI intent into systems teams can own and expand." |
| What it is built on | Built for that one company, on its own accounts or infrastructure where the work calls for it. | "Neurons Lab, for instance, works with tools from Anthropic, Hugging Face, and AWS to customize the stack for each client." |
| How the work is staffed | The people who map the system build it and run it. | "Unlike traditional consultancies, we co-create with client teams." |
