Strategy, build, and run — under one team

Production AI, not pilot AI.

Practitioner-led consulting that begins with your data policies and your users’ friction. Strategy, platform engineering, applied solutions, agents, and managed services — under one team. AI that ships, and stays shipped.

CMMI L5·ISO 27001·MEITY-aligned·DPDPA 2023
Why practitioner-led

The model is the easy part — everything else is the work.

Data policy first

We start where every regulated AI programme stalls — data ownership, residency, retention, and access control. The model choice comes after the policy is signed.

User friction over model benchmarks

Leaderboard scores don't ship value. We map the friction in your users' day — the dropped handoff, the second-pass review, the data lookup — and engineer the model into that gap.

Ship-to-prod default

Every engagement is scoped to a production target — SLA, observability, fallback path, on-call. Pilots that don't have a deployment plan are pilots that don't ship.

Evaluation discipline

Evaluation harnesses, regression suites, red-team libraries, and golden-set monitoring — built before the first deployment, not bolted on after the first incident.

Agents over chatbots

Tool-using agents, structured workflows, function-calling orchestration — built to act inside your systems, not to answer questions about them.

What we build

Six capabilities across the full AI stack — under one delivery team.

Strategy

Strategy & roadmaps

AI opportunity mapping, build-vs-buy, model selection, sovereignty posture, capability sequencing — a roadmap you can take to your board and your auditor.

Platform

Platform engineering

Lakehouses, feature stores, vector indexes, MLOps pipelines, inference gateways — the platform underneath every model that has to stay online tomorrow.

Applied

Applied solutions

Forecasting, classification, ranking, anomaly detection, document understanding, OCR, contract intelligence — productionised inside your existing workflows.

Agents

Agents & multimodal

Tool-using agents, vision-language models, voice and document multimodal stacks — built to act inside your systems with structured checkpoints and human review.

Evals

Evaluation & governance

Evaluation harnesses, prompt regression suites, red-team libraries, bias and safety scoring, audit trails — engineered for procurement and compliance scrutiny.

Operate

Managed AI operations

24x7 inference SLAs, drift monitoring, retrain triggers, incident response, model registry — the operate layer your business hangs on once the model is live.

Engagement

Engage how you ship — discovery, build, operate.

2 weeks

Discovery sprint

Practitioners on the ground — your data, your workflows, your friction. We leave with a shippable roadmap, a sovereignty posture, and a costed plan to production.

  • ·Senior practitioners only
  • ·Roadmap + costed plan
  • ·Sovereignty posture defined
8 – 12 weeks

Pilot to production

Full pod — engineering, ML, MLOps, evals — shipping a target use case to production. Evaluation harness, observability, and runbook delivered alongside the model.

  • ·Pod-based delivery
  • ·Production SLA on day one
  • ·Eval harness shipped with model
Ongoing

Managed operations

We operate the AI stack — drift monitoring, retrains, incident response, governance reviews — under your SLA, with named on-call engineers and audit-ready logs.

  • ·Named on-call engineers
  • ·Audit-ready logs
  • ·Quarterly governance reviews
