We build the unglamorous parts that make AI products work: retrieval quality, evaluation harnesses, guardrails, cost control, and inference infrastructure that does not fall over on launch day.
Assistants, extraction, summarisation and agents wired into real workflows.
Chunking strategy, hybrid search, reranking, and citation-grade grounding.
Golden sets, offline evals, online A/B, and regression gates in CI.
Forecasting, ranking, churn, fraud and pricing models with monitored drift.
Feature stores, model registries, reproducible training, and safe rollouts.
GPU capacity planning, batching, caching, and token cost governance.

Most teams reach for fine-tuning far too early. We escalate only when the cheaper option measurably fails.
| Option | Strength | Trade-off | Choose it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prompting | Immediate, cheap, easy to iterate and revert. | Context limits; behaviour drifts when the model changes. | First attempt at nearly every use case. |
| RAG | Grounds answers in your data with citations and freshness. | Retrieval quality becomes the product; adds infrastructure. | Knowledge-heavy assistants and support automation. |
| Fine-tuning | Locks in tone, format and narrow-task accuracy. | Needs labelled data and repeats with every base-model upgrade. | Stable, high-volume tasks where output format matters. |
| Self-hosted open models | Data residency, predictable unit cost at scale. | GPU operations and evaluation burden move to you. | Regulated data or very high sustained volume. |
