Evidence over vibes
Outputs must be inspectable. Sources are retained. Digests are checkable. “The model said so” is never a delivery standard.
Approach
No theater. Architecture, then proof.
We treat AI systems like production software with legal and operational consequences — because for our clients, they are.
Isolation by default
Agents, tools, hosts, and secrets are confined. A worker that can do everything will eventually do everything wrong.
Operate what you ship
Monitoring, backups, promotion paths, and rollback are part of the product. If it cannot be run at 2am, it is not done.
Human gates where they matter
Autonomous loops are useful. Unreviewed mutation of production, legal filings, or public content is not. We design the brakes.
Engagement arc
A clean path from chaos to control.
Discovery
Threat model, data map, success metrics, and non-goals. We kill bad ideas early.
Architecture
System diagram, storage tiers, agent roles, model routing, and security boundaries.
Build + eval
Working slices with tests, golden fixtures, and operator walkthroughs every week.
Handoff
Docs, runbooks, monitors, and optional retained ops. Your team can own it.
Prefer a brutal technical review first?
We do architecture and security reviews of existing AI stacks before build work.
