Two senior practitioners architect your AI operating model, featuring engineered Human-in-the-Loop Gateways and structural off-ramps requiring explicit manager approval for sensitive agent actions.
Agentic Build Team
6–12 MONTHS
Three practitioners build and ship AI systems alongside your engineers, embedding Continuous AI Tracing & Observability and automated safety guardrails directly into your repositories for full regulatory auditability.
Enterprise RAG / RaaS
2–4 WEEKS · RAG AS A SERVICE
Deploy production-grade retrieval pipelines engineered with Strict Data Containment and Air-Gapping, structurally neutralizing frontier model exploits and preventing corporate data leakage to public servers.
Independent AI Evaluation / Assurance
ONGOING / CUSTOM SPRINT
Act as a neutral, third-party auditor to stress-test, red-team, and verify the safety, guardrails, and compliance of your AI systems before and after production.
End-to-End Product Development
RAILS & ELIXIR/PHOENIX
Full-stack product engineering from zero-to-one. Built with Ruby on Rails for extreme velocity and Elixir/Phoenix for high-concurrency real-time scaling.
// THE ARCHITECTURE
Why Rails & Phoenix
The ultimate blend of developer velocity and elite concurrency.
Ruby on Rails
Convention over configuration allows us to ship complete features and MVPs faster than any other framework. Perfect for complex business logic, rich data models, and automated crawling engines.
Elixir Phoenix
Built on the Erlang VM, Phoenix handles millions of simultaneous connections with sub-millisecond latency. Ideal for real-time dashboards, live streaming data, and rock-solid fault tolerance.
