// engagement

Three ways to engage. No SDR funnel.

Pick the engagement shape that matches what you actually need. Scope, timing, and commercials are shaped on the first call with the architect — not on this page.

// Assessment + topology proposal

Discovery Sprint

A targeted assessment of one production system and a written topology proposal. You leave with a buildable plan; we leave with the option to build it.

// you leave with
  • Architecture audit of the existing system + bottleneck map
  • Proposed multi-agent topology with explicit guardrail layer
  • Risk and surface-area estimate for the build engagement
  • Optional: a working spike on the highest-risk edge
// right fit if

You suspect agentic is the answer but want a second opinion before committing engineering resources.

Scope this engagement
// End-to-end build to productionmost chosen

Build Engagement

End-to-end design, build, and production deployment of a multi-agent system. Fixed scope, named architect, replayable trace from day one.

// you leave with
  • Full topology design + policy library
  • Production deployment with replayable trace logs
  • Runbook, on-call playbook, and rollback paths
  • Post-launch stabilization window included
// right fit if

You have a specific surface (support, claims, CS, etc.) and a defined outcome.

Scope this engagement
// Fractional senior engineering

Embedded Advisory

Fractional principal engineer on your platform / AI team. We review designs, write guardrail policies, and pair with your engineers on the hard edges.

// you leave with
  • Recurring architecture review + async code review
  • Custom guardrail policies tuned to your domain
  • Hiring rubric + interview pairing for your AI hires
  • Direct Slack channel with the engineering team
// right fit if

You have a strong team building agentic systems but want senior coverage on the architecture.

How engagements actually run.

No matter which format you pick, the operating posture is the same. These are the five things we tell every buyer before the first call.

  1. P01

    First call is the architect.

    No SDR, no qualification team, no discovery deck. The person on the first call is the same person who will run your engagement if there is one.

  2. P02

    Discovery before scope, scope before estimate.

    We don't quote against a brief. We shape the surface area first, then propose a topology, then talk about timing and commercials — usually on a follow-up call, not the first.

  3. P03

    Built in your cloud — we never hold production data.

    Engagement code deploys to your AWS / GCP / Azure tenancy. Trace logs persist in your observability stack. Our access is read-scoped during the engagement window and revoked on completion.

  4. P04

    Replayable traces from day one.

    Every agent edge produces an idempotent trace event. If a production incident lands at 3am, replay-from-trace beats reconstruct-from-logs. We build for the on-call rotation that inherits the system, not the demo.

  5. P05

    If we can't ship it cleanly, we'll say so.

    Not every problem is an agentic one. About a third of discovery calls end with us recommending a non-agentic solution — sometimes a rules engine is the right answer. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a topology.
