Discovery to prod in six weeks.
A tight, opinionated delivery model built for teams that want AI in production — not another pilot that never ships. Every phase is designed to de-risk the next one. No waterfall, no theatre, no "AI transformation" decks.
Discovery
A paid, two-week deep-dive. We interview the operators, shadow the workflow, and read the data. Output: a written scope with the riskiest assumption named, a success metric agreed, and a fixed price for the build.
- Stakeholder interviews & workflow shadowing
- Data audit — quality, access, privacy posture
- Failure-mode catalog and human-in-the-loop map
- Written scope, eval plan, and fixed quote
Proof of Concept
We validate the single riskiest assumption end-to-end on real customer data — not slideware. If the PoC fails the eval bar, we stop and refund the build fee. If it passes, we move.
- End-to-end thin slice on production data
- Eval harness with regression + edge-case sets
- Cost, latency, and accuracy baselines
- Go / no-go review with named owner
Build
Production code, not a notebook. Typed interfaces, structured outputs, retries, timeouts, cost ceilings, prompt registry, and a full eval suite in CI. Every merge runs against the golden set.
- Modular agent architecture with typed tools
- Guardrails: input validation, output schemas, PII redaction
- Observability: traces, prompt versions, cost per run
- CI evals gating every deploy
Harden
The boring work that decides whether it survives Monday morning. Fallback models, circuit breakers, rate limits, and a runbook your on-call can actually read at 3 a.m.
- Fallback + degraded-mode paths
- Rate limits, quotas, and cost circuit-breakers
- Security review & secrets hygiene
- On-call runbook + incident templates
Deploy
Staged rollout — internal, canary, then full. Team training, dashboards, and clear ownership so your team walks away operating it, not depending on us.
- Staged rollout with kill-switch
- Team training + documentation handoff
- Live dashboards for quality & cost
- 30-day warranty on shipped scope
Operate
Optional retainer for tuning, capability growth, and the next agent. Weekly eval reviews, monthly cost audits, quarterly capability roadmap.
- Weekly eval + incident review
- Monthly cost & latency audit
- Prompt / model upgrade cadence
- Quarterly roadmap with your product team
How we make the calls when nobody's watching.
Evals before code
If we can't measure it, we don't ship it. The eval set exists before the first prompt.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Discovery ends with a written quote. No hourly billing surprises mid-build.
You own the code
MIT-licensed, on your infra, with your keys. No vendor lock-in, no black box.
Boring wins
We reach for the boring tool first. Novelty is a cost, not a feature.
