Services

Applied AI and data work, scoped to the decision at hand

We focus on a small set of services we can do well. Each engagement is shaped around a specific decision or workflow, and each one ends with documented, maintainable work your team can run. Representative deliverables are listed below — actual outputs are tailored to your context.

AI Workflow Design

We work with teams to identify where language models and automation add real value, then design end-to-end workflows that fit existing tools and review steps. The emphasis is on reliability, clear handoffs, and keeping a human in control of consequential decisions.

Representative deliverables

  • Workflow maps and process diagrams
  • Tool and integration recommendations
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints
  • Implementation and rollout notes

LLM Evaluation & Prompt Systems

We build reusable prompt libraries and evaluation frameworks that make model behaviour testable. Instead of one-off prompts, you get a maintainable system with defined criteria, test sets, and a way to compare changes before they ship.

Representative deliverables

  • Prompt libraries and templates
  • Evaluation rubrics and scoring criteria
  • Test sets and regression checks
  • Comparison reports across model versions

Data Analytics & Dashboards

We help teams consolidate data and build analytics and dashboards that answer the questions decisions actually depend on. The goal is clarity and trustworthiness — well-defined metrics, documented sources, and visuals that hold up to scrutiny.

Representative deliverables

  • Dashboards and reporting views
  • Metric definitions and data dictionaries
  • Data preparation and cleaning scripts
  • Source documentation and refresh notes

Research & Evaluation Support

We support research and evaluation work — framing questions, structuring analysis, and synthesizing findings into clear, well-documented memos. The emphasis is on transparent methods, stated assumptions, and honest treatment of limitations.

Representative deliverables

  • Research and evaluation memos
  • Method write-ups and assumptions logs
  • Literature and source summaries
  • Findings briefs for decision-makers

Responsible AI Documentation

We produce the documentation that responsible AI use depends on: how a system works, how it was tested, what its limitations are, and where human oversight applies. This makes systems easier to review, maintain, and govern over time.

Representative deliverables

  • System and model documentation
  • AI risk and limitation notes
  • Testing and oversight records
  • Usage guidance and review checklists

Process Automation

We automate repetitive, well-understood tasks so people can focus on judgment-heavy work. Automations are built to be observable and reversible, with logging, error handling, and clear points where a person stays in the loop.

Representative deliverables

  • Automation scripts and integrations
  • Logging and error-handling setup
  • Run-books and operating guidance
  • Maintenance and handover documentation

Don't see exactly what you need? These services often combine — for example, an evaluation framework feeding a dashboard, or a workflow paired with the documentation to govern it. Reach out and describe your situation.
