Offering · Best First Step

Before launch — or after it ships.

A low-risk first engagement: architecture review, evaluation framework, governance and reliability assessment, plus a costed roadmap. Governance Assessment if you're pre-launch — Production Audit if it's already live.

Who It's For

If one of these sounds like you.

Pre-launch

Pilot works, but is it ready?

Your AI prototype is working in the demo. You need to know if it's ready for real users, real load, real audit — and what it'll take to get there.

In production

Shipped — and showing cracks.

It's live, but costs are climbing, behavior is drifting, governance gaps are surfacing, or evaluation is missing. You need an honest read on what's working and what isn't.

Compliance / scale

Audit, compliance, or scale.

You need a third-party assessment against a specific standard — audit prep, security review, scale readiness, or board-level governance gap analysis.

Deliverables

What you get.

Concrete artifacts you can act on — not a slide deck.

01

Architecture Review

Annotated review of the current system — data flow, dependencies, integration boundaries, failure modes, single points of failure.

02

Evaluation Framework

How you measure quality, drift, and regression. Eval harness recommendation, dataset structure, and CI integration plan.

03

Governance Gap Analysis

Audit trail, access controls, policy enforcement, human-in-the-loop points, model and prompt versioning. What's there, what's missing.

04

Reliability & Cost Read

Observability coverage, error budget, cost per request, scaling chokepoints, retry/timeout behavior — and where the next failure is most likely.

05

Costed Roadmap

Prioritized list of fixes: what to do first, what it costs in engineering time, what risk it retires. Sequenced for shipping, not for reading.

06

Written Report + Walkthrough

Everything in a written report your team can act on, plus a live walkthrough with your engineering and product leads.

How It Works

A short, scoped engagement.

01

Scope & Access

Kickoff call, access to code/infra/docs under NDA, and an aligned scope. Day 0–2.

02

Deep Read

We read the code, run the evals, trace the production paths, talk to your engineers. Most findings surface here.

03

Write & Walkthrough

Written report, costed roadmap, and a live walkthrough with your team. You leave with a clear next step — no commitment beyond that.

Why Us

We've shipped this before — so you're not paying us to learn.

We run our own production AI and edge systems (ContinuumState, EdgeBits, fasten). The patterns we audit against are the ones we've already passed real-world audits on.

  • Senior engineers do the read — no junior handoff.
  • Honest reads — we'll say what's working, too.
  • Findings tied to fix cost — not abstract risk levels.
  • No commitment to anything beyond the audit.
