“A promising LLM demo needs a production architecture, evaluation strategy and cost model.”
AI Engineering
Move AI, LLM, RAG and agentic applications from prototype behavior toward measurable, secure and operable production systems.
Recognize the problem before choosing the solution.
These are representative situations, not prerequisites for engagement.
“RAG answers are inconsistent and the team cannot tell whether chunking, retrieval, reranking or prompting is the real problem.”
“Agents need tools or MCP integration, but permissions and failure modes are not yet controlled.”
“The organization needs to compare model / provider choices without coupling the whole product to one vendor.”
Scope the engagement around the engineering decision.
Engagements can be short assessments, focused architecture work, implementation support or retained advisory.
AI architecture review
RAG quality assessment
Agent / MCP design review
Model / provider evaluation
AI security review
Production-readiness assessment
PoC / prototype engineering
Leave with decisions, evidence and a path forward.
Deliverables are selected during scoping. Not every engagement needs every artifact.
AI system architecture
Evaluation plan and benchmark set
RAG / retrieval findings
Agent / tool trust-boundary model
Provider / model trade-off analysis
Observability recommendations
Production roadmap
PoCs and production hardening can be included, with model, provider and data-access choices kept explicit so the architecture does not silently lock into one vendor.
Assess
Independent technical assessment of architecture, reliability, security, performance or operational readiness.
Architect
Reference architecture, design decisions, technology selection and implementation roadmap.
Implement
PoCs, integration, migration, automation, optimization and selected hands-on engineering work where scope permits.
Advise
Ongoing technical advisory, architecture reviews, troubleshooting support and engineering guidance.
