We engineer AI systems
built to run in production.
Not a chatbot agency. Not a prompt-engineering shop. We're the engineers you call when your AI feature is live and the bill, latency, or reliability has stopped being acceptable.

WHAT WE DO
Six things, done well.
LLM Cost Engineering
We attribute spend per feature, per model, per prompt — then re-architect to slash it.
- Token-level cost attribution and dashboards
- Model routing (GPT-4 → smaller models where safe)
- Prompt-aware caching and batching
- Context-window pruning without quality loss
RAG Hardening
We rebuild retrieval pipelines that actually retrieve the right thing.
- Chunking strategy and metadata design
- Embedding model selection + reranking
- Eval harness so quality stops regressing
- Hybrid search (BM25 + vector) where it helps
Reliability Engineering
Guardrails, structured outputs, and fallbacks so AI features stay up under load.
- Structured-output validation (Pydantic / JSON schema)
- Retries, timeouts, circuit breakers per call
- Fallback model chains for outages
- Hallucination eval pipelines
Observability & Tracing
When something breaks, you can trace it back to the prompt, model, and chunk.
- OpenTelemetry / Langfuse / Helicone integration
- Per-feature cost and latency dashboards
- Quality scorecards on production traffic
- Alerting on cost, latency, and error spikes
On-call AI Ops
Optional retainer: we own dashboards, on-call rotation, and ongoing tuning.
- Monthly cost and reliability review
- On-call response for AI-specific incidents
- Prompt and retrieval tuning as data shifts
- Quarterly model upgrade evaluation
Inference Infra
Self-hosted inference, GPU sizing, and request routing for scale and cost.
- vLLM / TGI deployment and tuning
- GPU instance sizing and autoscaling
- Request batching and continuous batching
- Multi-region routing where latency matters
HOW WE WORK
Engagements, not retainers-for-the-sake-of-it.
Audit (week 1)
We instrument your stack. You get a written diagnostic with token-level cost attribution, p95 latency profile, retrieval quality, and the architectural choices driving each.
Fix (weeks 2–4)
We rewrite the bottleneck — model routing, caching, RAG, infra, whatever surfaced. Every change ships behind a flag with a rollback plan.
Deploy (weeks 4–6)
Shadow mode first, then gradual rollout. We measure the change against the baseline we set at audit time. No big-bang releases.
Hand-off or stay (week 6+)
We hand off dashboards and runbooks to your team — or stay on a monthly retainer for on-call response and ongoing tuning. Your call.
PRICING
Quoted per engagement.
Every AI stack is different. We quote after the audit, when we can give you a number tied to a specific outcome.
Audit
Free. Written diagnostic + 30-day roadmap.
Fix engagement
Fixed-fee, scoped at audit. Typically 4–8 weeks.
On-call retainer
Monthly. Owned dashboards + incident response + tuning.
Infra pass-through
Cloud, GPUs, and API costs billed at cost.

We quote against a specific cost reduction or reliability target — not a deck of feature bullets.
