What We Build

Four service areas, all focused on production. Built for startups that need to move fast without accumulating debt that comes back to bite them.

The four engagements

01

RAG & Retrieval Systems

Search, Q&A, and document intelligence that stays accurate at scale.

Who this is for

Startups building search, Q&A, document intelligence, or any product where an LLM needs to answer questions from a knowledge base.

What we deliver

  • Document ingestion pipeline (chunking, embedding, vector store)
  • Hybrid search implementation (semantic + keyword)
  • Re-ranking layer for retrieval precision
  • Generation with source citation and hallucination controls
  • Evaluation harness with recall and accuracy benchmarks
  • Observability: query tracing, latency monitoring, cost tracking

// pipeline shape

query → embed → vector + BM25

     → rerank → context window

     → LLM → scored answer

recall & faithfulness tracked per release

common starting point: You have a RAG prototype. It works in testing but hallucinates or performs poorly on real queries. We diagnose and rebuild the retrieval architecture for production.
02

Multi-Agent Systems

Multi-step work that recovers from its own failures.

Who this is for

Startups building autonomous workflows, research pipelines, or multi-step AI processes that require coordination across tasks.

What we deliver

  • Agent architecture design (supervisor, sequential, or parallel patterns)
  • Tool integration and validation
  • State management and memory across agent runs
  • Error recovery, retry logic, and graceful degradation
  • Monitoring and observability for agent behavior

// run trace

planner → researcher → writer

     tool call failed → retried 1/3 ✓

     state checkpointed

every step replayable after the fact

common starting point: You've built agents that work in a controlled environment but fail unpredictably in production or with edge-case inputs. We harden the architecture and add production reliability patterns.
03

LLM Infrastructure

The backend your AI feature runs on, priced so it can scale.

Who this is for

Startups with LLM features in production who are hitting performance, cost, or reliability issues at scale.

What we deliver

  • Inference cost optimization (caching, batching, model routing)
  • Latency optimization for real-time and streaming use cases
  • Rate limiting, circuit breakers, and failover for LLM API calls
  • Token budget management and cost controls
  • Scalable async job queues for non-real-time LLM workloads

// after the rebuild

cache hit rate ......... 0.62

p95 latency ............ 1.4s

cost / 1k queries ...... $7.30

illustrative figures, not a client's

common starting point: Your LLM features are live but costs are climbing, latency is inconsistent, or reliability under load isn't where it needs to be.
04

AI Architecture Consulting

One or two weeks of design work before anyone builds.

Who this is for

Teams about to start a major AI build who want to get the architecture right before committing to an implementation path.

What we deliver

  • 2–4 week engagement
  • Architecture document: system design, technology selection, data flow, integration strategy
  • Risk identification: where the system is likely to fail and why
  • Build plan: phased implementation roadmap with clear milestones

yours to keep, build with us or not

common starting point: You're about to hire engineers or hand off an AI project to your team. You need an architecture you can trust before you commit.

What else we take on, and what we turn down.

Saying this up front saves everyone a call.

we do this

SaaS platform builds

We've built and run our own AI platform, so the multi-tenant, billing, and usage-metering problems aren't new to us.

we do this

Embedded AI engineers

When you need the expertise inside your own team, we place senior AI engineers alongside yours for a defined stretch.

we don't

Train models from scratch

Almost nobody needs it. If you genuinely do, we'll tell you plainly and point you to someone who does it well.

Not sure which one you need? That's the call.

Describe the problem in plain words. We'll tell you which engagement fits, or that none of them do.

// how pricing works

Review: Fixed fee, one to two weeks, deliverables listed above.

Build: Fixed price quoted against the architecture doc, paid in milestones.

After: Optional support, monthly, cancel whenever.

No open-ended retainers
