Service / AI Engineering

AI prototypes hardened for production.

You built a working prototype. We make it production-ready — evals, guardrails, observability, cost controls — and ship a system your customers can actually trust.

What's included

Evaluation harness

End-to-end eval suite with ground-truth datasets, automated regression tests, and pass/fail thresholds so you know exactly when the model breaks.

🛡️

Guardrails & safety layer

Input/output validation, content filtering, prompt injection defence, and structured output contracts that prevent your LLM from going off-script.

📊

Observability & tracing

Full request tracing with LangSmith, Langfuse, or custom dashboards. Every prompt, token count, latency, and model call logged and searchable.

💸

Cost controls

Per-user and per-org spend limits, token budgets, caching layers, and model routing to keep inference costs predictable at any scale.

🔄

Structured output & retries

JSON schema enforcement, automatic retry with backoff, fallback model chains, and graceful degradation so user requests never silently fail.

🔒

Model version pinning

Lock model versions, track provider deprecations, and maintain a canary pipeline so a provider update never breaks production unexpectedly.

How it works

01

Prototype audit

We review your codebase: prompts, model calls, error handling, and deployment setup. Written risk report delivered within 5 working days.

02

Eval harness design

Co-design an evaluation suite with your team. Define success metrics, assemble ground-truth datasets, and wire up automated CI runs.

03

Guardrails & observability

Implement input/output validation, cost controls, distributed tracing, and alerting. Every LLM call becomes observable from day one.

04

Harden & deploy

Performance-test under realistic load, tune latency and cost, then ship to production with a runbook and incident escalation path.
