A standing AI engineering team
for your enterprise roadmap.
Custom RAG over your data. Private fine-tuning. SOC2-aligned deployment. SSO, RBAC, audit logs. Named engineers on Slack Connect. 99.9% SLA. Everything ships into your repo, your cloud, under your governance.
What you get
Four outcomes your procurement checklist already covers.
Scan the headers. Each row maps to a deliverable your CFO, CISO, and platform lead can verify before signing.
20–40%
model spend reduction
Cut model spend 20–40% in the first quarter
We instrument token-level cost attribution across every team, agent, and tool. The dashboard surfaces the expensive models you didn't know you were paying for. Within a quarter we typically renegotiate routing and drop your bill.
RAG
your data, your VPC
Ship a private RAG pipeline over your data
Retrieval-augmented generation over your proprietary corpus — filings, tickets, docs, codebases. We pick the right embeddings, vector store, reranker, and refresh cadence for your data shape. Citations on every answer.
Eval
regression suite you own
Stand up an evaluation harness
A reproducible eval suite you run on every model swap. Hallucination, citation accuracy, schema conformance, and your business KPIs. Becomes your pre-merge PR gate.
2–6
named engineers
Embed a named engineering team you don't manage
2–6 dedicated engineers, named, on Slack Connect. Sub-1hr response on Sev-1. Quarterly business reviews with the delivery lead. They work in your repo, in your stack, on your sprint cadence.
Governance & delivery
Built for the reviewers you report to.
Everything below is shipped during the engagement — owned by your team, runnable in your stack, auditable in your SIEM.
Dedicated engineering lead
A named engineer you can page. Sits in your Slack, joins your standups, owns the backlog. Sub-1hr Sev-1 response on the dedicated channel.
SSO, RBAC, audit logs
Okta / Azure AD / Google Workspace SSO, role-based access per workspace, structured audit logs that export to your SIEM (Splunk, Datadog, Sumo).
SOC2-aligned deployment
Single-tenant or VPC-peered. We bring the architecture, the access-review cadence, and the change-management process; you bring the audit.
Private model fine-tuning & eval
Fine-tune open-weight models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek) on your labeled data. Smaller latency, lower per-token cost, no data leaving your VPC. Eval harness is yours at handoff.
Custom guardrails & policy
Beyond the off-the-shelf PII / toxicity / jailbreak filters. Enforce your brand voice, your regulatory requirements (HIPAA, FINRA, GDPR), and your domain rules. Policy as code, versioned and auditable.
Production on-call + 99.9% SLA
Dedicated on-call rotation. Quarterly reviews. Runbooks your team can own at the end of the contract. Backing infrastructure runs in your cloud, not ours.
Engagement shape
Fixed-scope build, then an optional long-running contract. Bid locks at end of week 2.
Discovery
We sit with your platform, security, and ops leads. Map AI workflows into inputs, decisions, handoffs, operations, outcomes, and governance. You get a build-vs-buy memo with a fixed bid.
Build
PRs land in your repo. RAG pipelines, internal copilots, agent workflows, private fine-tunes, integration code. Real tests, real deployable artifacts — not a demo.
Integrate
SSO, audit logs, CRM, ticketing, internal APIs, RBAC, on-call rotation, runbooks. Production hardening and a clean handoff.
Run
We stay on. Model refreshes, eval drift, adjacent builds. Dedicated engineering lead on Slack Connect. Quarterly business reviews. SLA backs it.
Procurement & security FAQ
What decision-makers ask us first.
Five questions that come up in every CISO and CFO clearance call. Full pricing and engagement shape on /pricing.
How is engagement scoped and what does it cost?
Discovery is free. We write a build-vs-buy memo with a fixed bid by end of week 2. SMB builds are 8-week fixed scope. Enterprise contracts are multi-quarter with a dedicated named team (2–6 engineers). No public dollar figures — bid after free discovery.
Who owns the code, the data, the keys, the eval harness?
You do. Every PR lands in your repo. Every model checkpoint, every embedding, every vector store lives in your VPC (or your cloud). API keys, audit logs, SSO configuration, all yours. The eval harness we build becomes your regression suite and ships under your team's ownership.
Can it run in our cloud and integrate with our SSO and SIEM?
Yes. Single-tenant or VPC-peered deployment in AWS, GCP, or Azure. Okta / Azure AD / Google Workspace SSO. Structured audit logs export to Splunk, Datadog, or Sumo. SOC2-aligned controls. No data ever leaves your perimeter.
What does the FDE team actually do in week 1?
Week 1 is operator shadowing and stack immersion. We sit with your platform, security, ops, and finance leads. Map the workflows that lose you money. Inventory your data sources, SSO, audit requirements, and regulatory constraints. End of week 1: a build-vs-buy memo, a fixed bid, and a 7-week build plan.
What happens when the engagement ends?
You own everything: code, eval harness, runbooks, on-call rotation, keys. We offer an optional retainer for monitoring, eval drift, and adjacent builds — at your option. No forced lock-in.
Discovery is free. Bid locks at end of week 2.
