Which models do you use?
Whatever wins on your data. Frontier APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google for reasoning-heavy work; open-weight models like Llama, Qwen or Mistral when data has to stay in your cloud or costs need to drop. We benchmark candidates on your eval set before picking one, and keep it swappable.
Will our data be used to train models?
No. We use enterprise API terms with zero data retention, or self-hosted models inside your cloud account. Your data, prompts and eval sets stay yours, and we're happy to sign a DPA or BAA.
How do you make AI reliable enough for production?
Evals first. Every AI feature gets a test set built from real cases, automated scoring and regression gates in CI. On top of that: guardrails, fallbacks, tracing in production and a human in the loop wherever a mistake is expensive.
Doesn't AI-written code mean lower quality?
Not when seniors are in charge. Agents draft code, tests and docs; a senior engineer designs the system, reviews every line and owns every merge. In practice you get more tests and better documentation than a traditional team has time for.
What does a typical project cost?
AI pilots run $35–60k. Most production builds land between $90k and $350k, depending on integrations and compliance. Dedicated squads start at $48k a month, and senior engineers on hourly engagements are $175 an hour. You get a written estimate after the first call.
How fast can you start?
An AI pilot can start within a week of signing. Dedicated teams usually take one to two weeks to assemble.
Where is your team based?
In the US, all of it. We're a US company with engineers from Eastern to Pacific time, so your team works your business hours: no overnight handoffs, no 6 a.m. calls.
Who owns the code and the prompts?
You do. IP transfers in full with each paid invoice: code, prompts, eval sets and any fine-tuned weights. Repositories, cloud and model-provider accounts live in your organization from the start.
Can you take over a stalled AI project?
Yes, it's a big part of what we do. We start with a one-to-two-week audit of the code, data and evals, and give you a written report with risks, quick wins and a plan, whether or not you continue with us.
How do you invoice?
Monthly, in USD, under a US contract. Pilots and fixed-scope projects are billed by milestones; teams by the month, with time reports attached. Model and cloud usage is billed at cost, or straight to your own accounts.
