FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Pinecone is best for managed, production-ready solutions. Weaviate offers open-source flexibility. pgvector works well if you're already using PostgreSQL. We recommend based on your requirements.

We use OpenAI's embeddings API, sentence-transformers, or other embedding models. We choose models based on your data type and language. Embeddings are generated during indexing and stored in the vector database.

Yes. We can self-host Weaviate, Qdrant, or use pgvector with PostgreSQL. Self-hosting offers more control but requires infrastructure management. Managed services like Pinecone simplify operations.

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (US)

For US teams, we build with auditability in mind: clear access boundaries, least-privilege roles, and reviewable operational controls.

We can align delivery with SOC 2 / ISO-friendly practices (without claiming certification): evidence-ready logs, secure-by-default config, and clear ownership.

  • SOC 2 / ISO-friendly implementation patterns (no certification claims)
  • Least-privilege access and permission boundaries
  • Security review checklists for auth, payments, and data flows
  • PII-safe logging + incident response playbooks (on request)
  • Retention and deletion flows where required
  • NDA + vendor onboarding docs on request

Timezone & Collaboration (Americas)

We support teams across the Americas with meeting windows that work for EST/CST/MST/PST.

We keep delivery predictable with weekly milestones, concise async updates, and written decisions to reduce calendar load.

  • Americas overlap with EST/PST-friendly windows
  • Async-first updates with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos + change control
  • Fast turnaround on blockers and clarifications
  • Clear owner per workstream and escalation path

Engagement & Procurement (US)

US-friendly engagement structure: clear SOWs, milestone billing, and invoice cadence that fits typical procurement workflows.

If you need vendor onboarding artefacts, we can provide security posture summaries and delivery process documentation.

  • USD invoicing and milestone-based payment schedules
  • SOW + scope lock options for fixed-scope work
  • Time-and-materials for evolving requirements
  • Procurement-ready documentation on request
  • Optional paid discovery to de-risk delivery

Security & Quality (US)

We ship with a security-first checklist and performance budgets—so releases stay stable under real traffic.

Expect clean PRs, reviewable changes, and production-ready testing from day one.

  • Threat-aware checks for auth, roles, and sensitive data flows
  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + critical path smoke tests
  • Performance budgets (Core Web Vitals-minded) and bundle checks
  • Structured logging + error tracking hooks (Sentry-ready)
  • Rollback-safe releases and clear release notes
