FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Often yes when you want managed operations and predictable scaling. We still recommend based on your constraints and data model.

Yes. We design namespaces and metadata filters for tenant/team isolation and access-safe retrieval.

Yes. We can combine vector retrieval with keyword search layers and reranking for better relevance.

Delivery considerations for your region

Data and risk discovery (United States)

Privacy, security, residency, and regulatory requirements differ by workflow. We document the applicable data flows, roles, retention needs, and control owners before recommending an architecture.

The resulting proposal lists the controls and evidence that are actually in scope. It is not a generic compliance, certification, or legal-assurance promise.

  • Map data sources, destinations, roles, and sensitive fields
  • Record access, retention, logging, and deletion requirements
  • Identify required security or procurement evidence before contracting
  • Use an NDA or DPA only when the parties mutually execute it

Working model (United States)

Exact live-overlap hours, response expectations, meeting windows, and escalation contacts are confirmed in the proposal for each engagement.

Written decisions, scoped milestones, and asynchronous updates reduce unnecessary meetings without implying an unagreed service level.

  • Proposal-specific overlap and meeting windows
  • Named owners for decisions and blockers
  • Written scope, assumptions, and change decisions
  • Milestone cadence agreed before kickoff

Commercial setup (United States)

The contracting entity, proposal currency, invoicing cadence, payment terms, intellectual-property terms, and required vendor documents are agreed before work begins.

The Opportunity Sprint can establish the evidence needed to scope a production pilot; it does not pre-commit either party to a rollout.

  • Contracting entity and currency confirmed in writing
  • Milestones and acceptance criteria defined in the proposal
  • Vendor-document requirements identified before signature
  • Scope changes require an explicit written decision

Delivery controls (United States)

Testing, observability, release, security, and handover controls are selected for the actual system risk rather than promised as a generic bundle.

Acceptance measures and production responsibilities are recorded before implementation so both teams know what evidence will support release.

  • Risk-based testing and acceptance measures
  • Release, rollback, and observability responsibilities
  • Security controls tied to the agreed threat model
  • Handover artifacts defined in the signed scope
