The last review before your AI agent ships — two weeks, fixed price.
Every engagement starts with a production-readiness review: six-pillar framework, ~40 checks, fixed $5,000 / two weeks. Senior architect, independent — we don't sell LLMs, clouds, or agent platforms. You leave with a readiness scorecard, P0/P1/P2 findings, and a remediation roadmap. Reviews flow into Custom Build delivery or a Fractional Tech Advisor retainer.

regulated bank delivery across four geographies
Why work with us
We've actually shipped this
Multi-GWp industrial IoT platform in production. Edge firmware OS deployed at paying customers. Multi-agent reasoning systems grounded in real operational data. References available under NDA.
Engineering rigor, not just LLM glue
Tool-calling over RAG when it makes sense. Citations and audit logs by default. Cost discipline through model routing. Production observability from day one — not 'we'll add it later'.
We say what we don't know
If we haven't shipped your exact pattern, we'll say so and quote the learning curve. If your idea has a fatal flaw, we'll tell you before you sign. Trust is earned with what we decline to do.
Async-first, written delivery
PMP-managed engagements with written specs, weekly written reports, and recorded design walkthroughs. Time-zone GMT+8 with overlap for US evenings and EU mornings.
From unclear problem to shipped system
Written scope, phased delivery, and production handover without turning every decision into another meeting.
Discovery call
30 minutesTell us your timeline, budget range, and the current pain. We come back within 24h with feasibility, rough sizing, and whether we're the right fit — or who is.
AI Agent Production-Readiness Review
1-2 weeks · $5KTwo deep technical calls plus written deliverables: architecture proposal, tech-choice trade-offs documented, risk register, and a fixed-price quote for the build phase. You own everything the Review produces — no obligation to continue.
Build phase
2-6 months typicalFixed-price by phase. Weekly written progress reports, bi-weekly demos, recorded design walkthroughs. Production observability and tests from day one — not 'we'll add it later'.
Handover & advisory
30 days includedDocumentation, training, and 30-day handover support are part of every build. Many engagements transition into Fractional Tech Advisor — monthly retainer, weekly written check-ins, technical reviews of your team's work.

Doesn't fit our three main models?
A few narrower shapes we'll occasionally take when the AI Agent Production-Readiness Review or a Custom Build is the wrong fit. Each is fixed-price or a short retainer.
Architecture Review
A senior engineer reads your existing system, writes a critique with prioritized recommendations, and walks you through it on a call.
- ✓Up to 6 hours of focused review (codebase + architecture docs)
- ✓Written critique with prioritized findings
- ✓60-minute walkthrough call
- ✓Follow-up Q&A for 30 days
Embedded Engineer
One of our senior engineers, embedded in your team, for 2-3 months. Pair programming, design reviews, capacity boost.
- ✓1 senior engineer at ~50% allocation
- ✓Joins your standups, PR reviews, design sessions
- ✓2-3 month minimum engagement
- ✓Knowledge transfer documented along the way
Still not the right fit? See our three main engagement models or email us with two sentences about your project — we'll propose something or refer you elsewhere.
