How fast can a 1,000-person company stand up bRRAIn?

30–90 days via Managed Install. Phase 1: install the vault, wire SSO, ingest Drive/Notion. Phase 2: certify 5 operators. Phase 3: embed into existing tools via SDK. Most customers are in production by day 60.

Three phases, 30-90 days

A 1,000-person bRRAIn rollout runs in three phases across 30-90 days. Phase one stands up the infrastructure — the Vault, SSO wiring, initial document ingestion. Phase two trains the certified operators who will run day-to-day governance. Phase three embeds memory-aware AI into existing tools through the Embedded SDK. Each phase produces a working surface before the next begins; there is no big-bang cutover. Most customers hit production use in a subset of teams by day 60 and full company coverage by day 90 or earlier.

Phase 1: infrastructure and ingestion (day 1-30)

Phase one is a Managed Install deployment of the core platform. The team stands up single-tenant infrastructure, wires SAML or OIDC through the Auth Gateway, and configures the 7-tier role model against your existing IdP groups. Parallel to that, initial ingestion kicks off — Google Drive, Notion, Confluence, and SharePoint are the common first sources. The Consolidator processes incoming documents and populates the graph. By day 30, a pilot team of 20-50 users is actively querying the system against real company memory.

Phase 2: operator certification (day 15-45)

Phase two overlaps with the back half of phase one. Five to eight internal operators go through bRRAIn's Operations Controller certification, Access Controller certification, and Care Analyst certification. These are the humans who will own the platform long-term — governance, permissions, graph health. The broader bRRAInOps path covers the security-adjacent roles. Certification takes 2-4 weeks per operator and can run in parallel. By day 45 the company has a named, qualified operations team, not a side-of-desk IT responsibility.

Phase 3: SDK embedding and full rollout (day 45-90)

Phase three is where bRRAIn stops being a separate tool and starts being invisible infrastructure. The Embedded SDK drops memory-aware AI into the tools the company already uses — Slack bots, the helpdesk, the CRM, the IDE. The SDK quickstart walks developers through a 7-step integration. Common first integrations include a support assistant in Zendesk, a code review bot in GitHub, and a meeting summarizer in Google Calendar. By day 90, all 1,000 employees are interacting with bRRAIn without necessarily knowing they are — the memory flows through their existing workflows.

What can slow it down

Three things typically extend the timeline beyond 90 days. First, SSO complications — if the IdP is non-standard or the group structure is messy, SSO wiring alone can eat two weeks. Second, ingestion scope creep — trying to ingest every SharePoint site ever created instead of the active top-20. Third, operator hiring — if the company wants to hire external operators rather than certify internal ones, recruiting adds 4-8 weeks. All three are addressable. The Managed Install onboarding team plans around them explicitly in the kickoff.
