Architecture &
Engineering.
Four structured engagements designed to move your AI project from prototype to production. Each one addresses a specific stage of the journey — from architecture planning through to a fully deployed, monitored, and reliable system. Solutions architecture services delivered by someone who's shipped seven live products in 90 days.
AI Architecture
Sprint
In 5 working days, you get a clear system diagram, a build-vs-buy analysis for each component, and a risk-flagged roadmap your team can actually execute against.
Discuss Your Sprint →What You Get
A complete system diagram, a build-vs-buy analysis for every component, and a risk-flagged roadmap that your team can execute against immediately — not a slide deck, a working plan.
Who It's For
Teams with a working AI prototype who need a production plan. You've proved the concept works — now you need to know what it takes to run it reliably, at scale, with real users.
Deliverables
- check_circle Architecture document — full system blueprint
- check_circle Component diagram — visual map of every service and data flow
- check_circle Technology recommendations — build vs. buy analysis for each component
- check_circle Risk assessment — identified failure points with mitigation strategies
- check_circle Phased implementation roadmap — prioritised, time-boxed delivery plan
Production
Build Sprint
A working system deployed to your environment, with documentation and runbooks for the three most likely failure modes — plus 30 days of async support while it beds in.
Discuss Your Build →What You Get
A working system deployed to your environment, with full documentation and runbooks — not a prototype, not a proof of concept. Something your team can operate from day one.
Who It's For
Teams ready to build who need someone who's shipped production AI. You've got the green light, you've got the budget — you need a system that works the first time, not after three failed attempts.
Deliverables
- check_circle Deployed system — running in your environment, handling real traffic
- check_circle API documentation — complete reference for every endpoint and integration
- check_circle Incident runbooks — step-by-step guides for the top 3 failure modes
- check_circle 30 days async support — direct access while the system stabilises
AI Ops
Layer
Structured logging, alerting, and an admin dashboard so your non-technical team can monitor the AI and intervene when needed — without calling a developer at 2am.
Discuss Your Ops Layer →What You Get
Structured logging, real-time alerting, and an admin dashboard that gives your entire team visibility into AI behaviour — so you can see what's happening, understand why, and take action without paging a developer.
Who It's For
Teams with running AI that nobody can monitor without calling a developer. Your system works, but when something goes wrong at 3am, you're flying blind until someone reads the logs.
Deliverables
- check_circle Monitoring dashboard — real-time view of AI health, performance, and costs
- check_circle Alert rules — automated notifications for anomalies and failures
- check_circle Structured logging — searchable, filterable event history across all AI actions
- check_circle Admin panel — non-technical interface for overrides and interventions
- check_circle Incident response playbook — what to do when each alert fires
System
Audit
An independent assessment across all five layers of the AI Operating Stack. You get a scored report with the most impactful fixes prioritised first — no fluff, just clear action items.
Request an Audit →What You Get
A scored report across all 5 layers of the AI Operating Stack — core system, state, AI execution, ops, and reliability. Each layer gets a 1–5 score with specific, actionable recommendations.
Who It's For
Teams who've built something and want to know where the gaps are. You've invested in AI but aren't seeing the reliability or performance you expected — and you need an independent assessment of what to fix first.
Deliverables
- check_circle 5-layer scored report — 1–5 rating per layer with detailed findings
- check_circle Prioritised fixes — ranked by impact, so you know what to fix first
- check_circle Effort estimates — realistic timelines for each recommended fix
- check_circle Quick wins doc — high-impact improvements you can ship this week
Process
How It Works
Every engagement follows the same three-step process. No surprises, no scope creep, no ambiguous deliverables.
Discovery Call
A free 30-minute call to understand your system, your goals, and your constraints. I'll tell you straight whether I can help — and which engagement fits. No hard sell, no obligation.
Sprint / Build
We agree scope, timeline, and deliverables upfront. Then I execute. You get regular updates, access to work-in-progress, and a clear view of where we are at every stage. No black boxes.
Support
Every engagement includes post-delivery support. For sprints and audits, that's async access for questions and clarifications. For builds, it's 30 days of direct support while the system stabilises.
