What's in scope for a typical AI engagement?+
Discovery of the target outcome and data landscape, model selection across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Mistral and xAI, RAG or agent architecture, evals, guardrails, production deployment and post-launch tuning. We scope in one-week increments and share a fixed statement of work before build starts.
How long does a first production release take?+
A focused pilot with real users is typically 6–10 weeks. A production-grade multi-LLM application with evals, observability and compliance sign-off usually lands in 12–18 weeks depending on data readiness and regulatory scope.
How do you handle security, IP and data residency?+
We default to zero data retention with commercial providers, support fully self-hosted Llama, Mistral and Qwen deployments on your own GPUs, and honour EU/UK data residency. Prompts, embeddings and outputs stay inside your tenancy; we sign DPAs and support ISO 27001, SOC 2 and FCA/PRA controls.
Which delivery models do you offer?+
Fixed-scope builds, embedded squads inside your engineering org, or an outcome-based managed service where we own the roadmap, evals and on-call. Every model includes a named delivery lead and weekly written status.
