We are brought in when the demo works but the business case does not yet. One team owns the data, the model, the agent runtime and the deployment target — so nothing falls through the gap between them.

Different industries, same underlying failure: nobody owns the path between a model and a working system.
A demo that impressed leadership eighteen months ago, still running on a laptop with no tests, no owner and no path to production.
ExploreOff-the-shelf models hallucinate your jargon, mishandle your formats and burn budget re-deriving things they should already know.
ExploreSkilled staff spend their days copying fields between systems, triaging inboxes and re-checking work a supervised agent should own.
ExploreEvery change is a judgement call. Nobody can say whether the last release helped, hurt, or silently regressed on the edge cases.
ExploreThe largest available model is doing classification work, and the monthly bill grows faster than the value it returns.
ExploreCompliance says on-prem or air-gapped, so every promising vendor conversation ends at the security review.
ExploreEvery engagement produces something you can ship, measure and keep — even if we stop after the first one.
Fixed fee
For teams who know something is broken but not what. We audit the workflow, the data, the model choices and the delivery path.
Scoped milestone
The default. A thin vertical slice first, then hardening until the system meets the bar we agreed in week one.
Monthly retainer
For organisations running several workstreams. We own a stream end-to-end and raise the bar on the ones you own.
No black boxes, no proprietary runtime you have to licence from us forever.
Stakeholder interviews, data audit, workflow mapping and an eval baseline built from your own held-out samples.
A thin vertical slice wired to real tools in a staging environment, measured against the baseline.
Guardrails, adversarial testing, latency and cost tuning, fallbacks and human review points.
Canary rollout, monitoring, drift alerts, retraining triggers and a runbook your team can follow.
A two-week diagnostic gives you a baseline, a build plan and a clear go / no-go — whether or not you build it with us.
