Frequently asked questions

Do we need an AI or ML team to work with you?

No. We design, build and hand over the system. Your engineers can run it, or we stay on a retainer.

Which models and tools do you use?

Whatever fits the job: hosted frontier models, open models or a mix. We pick on quality, cost and your data rules, and show you the comparison.

How do you handle our data?

We work in your cloud or ours, keep the minimum data needed and document where every piece goes. We sign an NDA on request.

What if it does not work?

Every build starts with success criteria we agree up front. We test against real examples before launch and show you results along the way.
