Capabilities

Two practices, in concert.
01 — Build

AI Consulting
& Custom Builds

Production AI systems built to ship and last. LLM features, agentic workflows, retrieval pipelines, and the evaluation infrastructure that keeps them honest. We work end-to-end with your team — spec, prototype, ship, hand off — or stay on as a long-term technical partner.

  • LLM products & assistants
  • Agentic workflows & orchestration
  • Retrieval & data pipelines
  • Evaluation & observability
02 — Advise

Research
& Strategy Advisory

Independent technical assessments and AI roadmaps for executives, boards, and investment committees. We answer the hard questions plainly — what to build, what to buy, what is vapor, what is coming. Written reports, in plain English. No slide-show theatre.

  • Technical due diligence
  • AI roadmaps & build/buy decisions
  • Briefings for boards & non-technical leadership
  • Investment-side technical reviews

Principles

How we work.
  1. Useful over impressive.

    Software is in service of an outcome, not the other way around. We optimize for the result you actually need, even when a simpler tool does the job.

  2. Strategy and code, by the same hands.

    The people writing the assessment are the people who would ship it. No handoff theatre, no slide deck disconnect from what's possible to actually build.

  3. Honest engineering.

    The right answer is sometimes don't build it. We say so. Our reputation is worth more than any single engagement.

  4. Small team, deep range.

    We stay small on purpose. The work that comes through the door gets the attention of people who can do it themselves, end to end.
