// services · what we do

Four ways
we engage.

We don't sell deliverables; we sell outcomes. Every engagement is staffed by senior operators and ends in working software, a written hand-off, or a thesis we can defend.

AI Strategy

Where to bet, where to wait, what to ignore.
you walk away withA defensible thesis your CFO will sign.

A short, opinionated engagement that ends in a roadmap your CFO will sign. We interview your team, audit your stack, run an evals workshop, and deliver a written thesis on what to build, what to buy, what to kill.

// deliverables
  • Capability audit
  • Build/buy/kill matrix
  • Evals harness v0
  • 12-month roadmap
  • Hiring plan
// best for

Series A–C teams who suspect they should be doing more with AI but cannot name the shape of it.

AI / Software Engineering

Production code. The plumbing and the magic.
you walk away withA system your team can own on day one of hand-off.

Full-stack squads who embed inside your team, write production code on day one, and leave behind a system your engineers can own. We build the product surface and the AI infrastructure underneath - the RAG, the evals, the agent runtime, the observability, the on-prem deployment. No agencies, no offshoring, no lingering past the value cliff.

// deliverables
  • Product features & internal platforms
  • Retrieval pipelines & agent runtime
  • Eval harness + dashboards
  • On-prem inference & cost budgets
  • Hand-off runbook & training
// best for

Teams with a working prototype - or none at all - who need senior velocity for a defined window without permanent headcount.

Lectures & Workshops

Calibrate your team. Two days, no slides about hype.
you walk away withA team that can argue about AI without flinching.

Tailored sessions for R&D teams, executive offsites, and boards. We teach what is real, what is one paper away, and what is marketing. Hands-on labs for engineers; sharp, opinionated briefings for C-levels. Every session ends with a written takeaway your team can act on the next morning.

// deliverables
  • Custom curriculum from your stack
  • Hands-on labs (engineers)
  • Executive briefings (C-suite)
  • Live evals on your own data
  • Written takeaway memo
// best for

R&D leaders, CTOs, and boards who need their organisation to share a vocabulary before the next planning cycle.

Research

Applied research with frontier teams.
you walk away withA thesis we are willing to defend in public.

We take research engagements with labs, universities and frontier-model companies. The work occasionally produces a paper, sometimes a prototype, and rarely a product - but always a thesis we are willing to defend in public.

// deliverables
  • Literature review
  • Reproductions & extensions
  • Prototype + writeup
  • Joint authorship (where appropriate)
// best for

Frontier labs and curious operators who want to understand what is one paper away from being possible.

// how we work

From hello to handoff.

[00]
Intro call
30 minutes. We figure out if we are the right fit. No deck.
[01]
Scoping memo
A 2-page written proposal with timeline, team, and a kill date.
[02]
Week-1 prototype
Working code in your environment by end of week one. Always.
[03]
Iterate or kill
Bi-weekly reviews. If a project should die, we say so. We refund the rest.
[04]
Hand-off
A written runbook, a recorded walkthrough, and 30 days of free office hours.
