Three pilot-friendly options that reduce risk and ship value fast. Choose one, share access, and we deliver a production-ready baseline.
Standard
AI delivery standard
Quality and safety practices we ship with AI builds so the system stays measurable, maintainable, and production-ready.
Logging + tracing
Conversation and tool traces with request IDs, error visibility, and debug-friendly runbooks.
Guardrails + safety
Tool allowlists, PII-safe patterns, refusal behavior, and escalation routes for edge cases.
Evals + regression tests
Golden queries, scorecards, and regression checks so quality improves over time instead of drifting.
Cost + latency controls
Caching, prompt discipline, retrieval tuning, and routing so your app stays fast and predictable at scale.
Documentation + handoff
Architecture notes, environment setup, and next-step roadmap so your team can iterate safely after launch.
Security-first integration
Secrets isolation, role-based access, audit-friendly actions, and minimal data retention by design.

Features
What we deliver
Hybrid retrieval configuration

Query strategies
Query rewriting, metadata filters, and structured retrieval strategies for better relevance.
Evaluation sets
Golden queries and scoring to measure improvements and prevent regressions over time.
Snippet and citation UX
Better snippet selection and citations so users can verify results quickly.
Monitoring and iteration
Ongoing telemetry and feedback loops for continuous search quality improvements.

Internal knowledge search
Help teams find answers faster with ranked results and permission-aware filtering.
Sales enablement search
Find the right content and messaging quickly without misinformation.
Compliance and policy search
Improve relevance and traceability for policy-heavy corpuses where accuracy matters.
AI Case Examples
Micro case studies (anonymous)
A few safe examples of outcomes we build for real operations—no client names, just results.
Secure Mobile Solution in Australian Defence Ecosystem
Problem: Secure data workflows were required in a regulated environment with strict access controls.
Solution: Hardened architecture with strict auth, encrypted storage, and audit-friendly engineering patterns.
Outcome: Deployed securely within a regulated ecosystem with clear handoff and operational guidance.
AI Knowledge Base Across 2,000+ Pages
Problem: Teams needed fast answers across long PDFs, but search was slow and results were inconsistent.
Solution: RAG with hybrid retrieval and reranking, plus grounded answers and safer fallback behavior.
Outcome: Reliable answers with <10s response times and measurable improvements on real queries.
Ops Automation with AI + n8n
Problem: Manual approvals and CRM syncing created delays and data inconsistencies across tools.
Solution: Event-driven automation with validation gates and AI-assisted classification where it improved routing.
Outcome: Reduced manual workload significantly with more reliable workflows and operator visibility.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Not always, but it often improves precision for exact terms and short queries. We validate with evaluation sets before recommending a final approach.
Reranking is often the biggest accuracy unlock for production retrieval, but it adds cost. We recommend based on evaluation results and budget constraints.
We define golden queries and scoring criteria, then track metrics over time to ensure quality improves and stays stable.
Reranking can add latency. We design for performance by tuning candidate sizes, caching, and choosing cost-effective ranking strategies.
Yes. Hybrid retrieval and reranking can be implemented across common vector stores and search backends.
Yes. Search UX (snippets, filters, citations) is often as important as retrieval quality for user trust.

Delivery considerations for your region
Compliance & Data (UK/EU)
For UK teams, we default to GDPR-first thinking: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and clear access boundaries.
We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement practical retention/deletion flows when needed.
- GDPR-first patterns (minimise, restrict, document)
- DPA template available on request
- Retention/deletion and export flows where required
- Least-privilege access and secure session handling
- PII-safe logging + secure-by-default configuration
- NDA available for early-stage discussions
Timezone & Collaboration (UK/EU)
We align to UK time and EU overlap (GMT/BST with CET-friendly windows) for fast feedback cycles.
We keep the process lightweight: async updates, clear priorities, and written decisions to avoid ambiguity.
- UK/EU overlap with GMT/BST windows
- Async-first delivery with documented scope
- Weekly milestones and structured demos
- Clear escalation path for blockers
- Tight change control with clear sign-offs
Engagement & Procurement (UK)
We support typical UK procurement flows with clear scopes, change control, and invoice cadence.
If you prefer a discovery-first engagement, we can run a short paid discovery to lock requirements before build.
- GBP-based engagements and invoicing options
- Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
- Milestone-based billing when appropriate
- Transparent change control and sign-offs
- Vendor onboarding pack on request
Security & Quality (UK/EU)
We build for reliability and maintainability: clean PRs, tight review loops, and test coverage that matches risk.
Performance budgets and release checklists keep launches predictable—especially when multiple stakeholders review changes.
- CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
- Performance budgets + bundle checks (Core Web Vitals-minded)
- Structured release notes and rollback-safe deployments
- Security checklist for auth, roles, and data flows
- Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
