Service line 02 / Software Development
One senior team takes your product from the first workshop into production and stays to run it. Agents and LLM features with evaluation suites, models adapted to your domain, inference on devices where the network cannot be relied on, and the core platforms underneath. Built with coding agents in the loop and a named engineer signing every release.

02What we build
Coding agents, review gates, evaluation suites, and release automation in your repositories and CI, in your tenancy. Every change is traced. A person signs the merge. The AI Pipeline Pilot below installs it in one team in four weeks.
Task agents with tools, limits, logs, and an owner. Retrieval, extraction, and drafting inside the products you already run, with an evaluation suite that blocks a release when quality drops. How each runs in production is in the AI block below.
Retrieval design, fine-tuning, distillation, and quantization for your domain, with the evaluation set built first. An adapted model replaces the base only when the numbers say so. We fine-tune only after retrieval and prompting have been measured and found short.
Models that run on the device: quantized, measured for latency, memory, and energy on the hardware they ship on, validated as a component with a signed update path. Budgets, validation, and the platforms we target are in the edge block below.
Custom platforms and back-office systems. APIs designed for partners from day one. Monoliths split at the seams that matter, incrementally, starting with a small win that pays for itself. Data moved without losing the audit trail.
Our own startups, built AI-first and operated on our account. A practice runs there before we sell it. What each one proves is on the Startups page.
03AI features, models, and devices
Retrieval over your documents. Extraction and classification. Agent workflows with tool access and an approval step. Models adapted to your domain: retrieval design first, fine-tuning or distillation when the evaluation says a prompt is not enough, quantization when the model has to fit the hardware. Each ships with an evaluation suite that runs in CI and blocks a release when quality drops; an adapted model is compared with the base on the same set before it replaces anything.
Scoped credentials for people and agents alike. A human approval step wherever an action has consequences. An audit log of every decision, with model and prompt versions. Monitoring, cost limits, and a tested fallback for when the model is wrong. Model and prompt changes pass the same release gate as code. Client data stays in the EU by default and never trains models.
Two layers, one rule: a person decides anything that has consequences.
Some inference cannot leave the device: no connection, no time for a round trip, or data that must not move. Budgets come first: model size, latency per inference, peak memory, and energy per inference on the target hardware. The model is distilled and quantized to fit and measured on the target board. Validation treats the model as a component: fixed inputs, expected outputs with tolerances, the same evaluation set as the server version, the model version in every release. Updates are signed, staged, and reversible. A model that is unsure hands over to a rule or a person, and that path is tested. Platforms we target: ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers, ARM Cortex-A single-board computers, and edge GPU modules. We write the device software, not the hardware; a model update on a device is a validated change, not a patch.

05How the team looks
A build team is typically an architect who stays accountable for the whole engagement, two to four engineers, embedded QA who also owns the evaluation suites, and a delivery lead you talk to every week. The architect signs off. When a project adapts a model or targets a device, one engineer owns the evaluation set and the hardware budget.
06Built for regulated domains
No weekly production drops. Each change to device internals is validated before it ships, and a model update is a change. Traceability from requirement to test, and from a model version to its evaluation run. Tests are the entry point for anyone joining the team. Supported, conservative stacks.
Data classification first. Non-public personal information handled as such, and never sent to a model provider for training. Audit trails with model and prompt versions, least-privilege access for people and agents, reproducible deployments.
07Operate
Launch is not the end. We run what we build: monitoring, incident response with agreed response times, dependency and security updates, cost reviews, and a quarterly roadmap check. For AI features the evaluation suite runs against production traffic and re-runs before any model or prompt change goes live; drift and cost per run are reviewed monthly; the fallback path is exercised. Or we hand over, with runbooks, at any stage.
