Our Story

Full name, full commitment.

KTERD stands for Knowledge Technology Engineering Research & Development — a name that reflects exactly how we work. We pair deep research with disciplined engineering to build AI and software systems that hold up under real-world pressure.

Founded in Foley, Alabama, KTERD started as a small team of engineers and researchers frustrated by software that looked good in demos but broke in production. Today we partner with healthcare, retail, logistics, and finance teams to design systems that are intelligent, secure, and built to last.

  • Research-first approach to every engagement
  • In-house AI, backend, and cloud specialists
  • Long-term partnerships, not one-off builds

FAQ

Pricing questions, answered

Do you offer fixed-price or hourly billing?

Most projects are fixed-scope with milestone-based payments. For ongoing work or R&D-heavy engagements, we also offer monthly retainers.

What's included in the free discovery call?

We review your goals, technical constraints, and data — then provide a scoped proposal with timeline and pricing at no cost.

Can I upgrade from Starter to Professional later?

Yes. Many clients start with a Starter build and expand into AI features or additional modules under a Professional or Enterprise plan.

Do you offer support after launch?

Every plan includes post-launch support, and we offer extended maintenance and monitoring retainers for long-term partnerships.
