How we work
A clear path from idea to operation.
Five steps. Defined deliverables at each. No mystery, no surprise invoices.
The engine room
Five stages, one operating rhythm.
Every engagement runs through the same instrumented loop — so we can compare runs, replay decisions, and keep shipping after launch.

Eval coverage
<14d
To first proof
01
3–5 DAYS
Discover
We sit with your team to map the workflow, the data, and the success metric. You leave with a one-page brief: scope, eval criteria, and a fixed-price PoC proposal.
You receive
- —Workflow map
- —Eval metric defined
- —PoC scope & price
02
2–4 WEEKS
Prove
We build a working prototype against your real data with a measurable eval suite. At the end, you have evidence — not opinion — about whether it works.
You receive
- —Working prototype
- —Eval results
- —Go/no-go recommendation
03
8–16 WEEKS
Build
Production engineering: tool design, memory, observability, evals, guardrails, and integration with your stack. We pair with your engineers, not around them.
You receive
- —Production system
- —CI/CD & monitoring
- —Documentation & runbooks
04
1–2 WEEKS
Deploy
Phased rollout with feature flags. We train your team, run a launch readiness review, and instrument success metrics before flipping the switch.
You receive
- —Phased rollout plan
- —Team enablement
- —Launch readiness review
05
ONGOING
Operate
Continuous evaluation, model updates, prompt tuning, and incident response on a monthly retainer. Or hand it off to your team — your call.
You receive
- —Weekly eval reports
- —Monthly model reviews
- —On-call rotation
Live architecture
Every build ships with an observable pipeline.
Data, agent, action — instrumented end-to-end. You see what the model saw, why it acted, and what it changed.
Operating principles
What you can hold us to.
Evidence over opinion
Every claim ships with an eval. We'd rather kill a project than ship a guess.
Production from day one
We build for observability and rollback before we build for features.
Your team owns it
Documentation, pairing, and enablement are not optional deliverables.
Honest scope
If the project should be smaller — or shouldn't happen — we'll say so.
