What we're known for · 02 & 03

Data engineering, data science, and AI in production

Most AI programmes do not fail at the model. They fail because the data underneath was never good enough to answer the question being asked of it.

We treat data engineering and applied AI as one practice, staffed by the same people. The engineer who builds your pipeline is in the room when the model is evaluated — which is the only reliable way to establish early that the ground truth is wrong.

Capability framework

Four pillars, one delivery engine

Every engagement can begin in discovery and graduate into platform build, GenAI and agentic delivery, or vision AI — drawing on a shared engineering core.

Invent it

Discovery & rapid prototyping

Rapid prototyping against a defined question, with stakeholder alignment and success criteria agreed before any build begins.

Power it

Data & MLOps platforms

Cloud-native data and feature pipelines, reproducible training and a model registry, deployment, monitoring and observability.

Build it

GenAI & agentic AI

Retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows with evaluation, and custom domain models where they earn their place.

Protect it

Computer vision & edge AI

Multi-class detection and OCR, video analytics and scene understanding, edge deployment and continuous learning.

Platform engineering

A production-ready foundation

So that each new use case draws on existing infrastructure rather than rebuilding it.

Data plane

Ingest · transform · serve

Source systems into a data factory, curated data assets, and a feature store the rest of the platform builds on.

Feature & model lifecycle

Train · validate · deploy

Curated tables through training pipelines to a model registry and served endpoints, with drift detection and retraining loops that survive their author leaving.

GenAI & agents

Orchestrate · trace · govern

Multi-provider model access, agentic workflows, and end-to-end observability across every call.

Applications

Consume · integrate · serve

Front-end applications and services consuming AI endpoints over private networking.

GenAI & agentic AI

Multi-provider orchestration, full observability

Route to the appropriate model at the appropriate cost, coordinate multi-agent workflows, and trace every call. Production systems, not notebook experiments.

Model orchestration

A central layer managing all providers — deploy, version and route across proprietary and open-source models, selecting the least expensive model that meets the quality bar.

Agentic frameworks

Guardrails for prompt-injection prevention, input and output validation, and conversation memory built in from the outset.

Full observability

End-to-end tracing on every call: prompts, completions, latency, token usage, cost, and reasoning logs for complex chains.

Secrets & key management

Per-provider credentials held in managed vaults with secure rotation. No keys in code.

Evaluation, not vibes

Four lenses on every agentic system

Agentic systems fail in ways a single accuracy score will not surface, so we evaluate on four axes rather than one.

Trajectory

Did it route correctly?

Agent-routing correctness, coordination order, and tool-call dependency.

Grounding

Is it supported?

Retrieval judged against the source knowledge base, with citation coverage measured.

UX

Is it usable?

Response latency, turns to resolution, and satisfaction proxy metrics.

Safety

Does it decline?

Escalation correctness, and refusal on personal data or out-of-policy requests.

Security & governance

Defence in depth, from day one

Retro-fitting governance onto a working AI system costs materially more than building it in. Six layers, with clear separation between internal teams and vendor access.

Identity & access

Managed identity for all services, conditional access, zero-trust from the outset. No shared keys.

Network isolation

Hub-and-spoke networking with private link, no public internet exposure, and per-environment isolation.

Secrets management

Centralised vaults with private endpoints and automatic rotation for all credentials and tokens.

RBAC & vendor separation

Project-level workspace isolation with clearly scoped access for internal teams and vendors.

Policy & compliance

Guardrails enforced at subscription level, threat protection enabled, centralised audit logging.

Encryption

Data encrypted at rest with platform-managed keys; all traffic encrypted in transit.

Computer vision & edge

Where the economics are about false positives

Camera analytics, multi-class detection, OCR and scene understanding, with quantised models for on-device inference where bandwidth or privacy rules out the cloud.

A second-pass model suppresses false positives before any action is triggered, and operator feedback retrains on misclassified events over time. Every false dispatch carries a real per-incident cost, so reducing false positives is usually where the return sits.

Multi-class detection

Person, vehicle, object and intrusion classes with confidence calibration.

Secondary verification

A second-pass model on video, suppressing false positives before escalation.

Continuous learning

Operator feedback retraining models on misclassified events.

Engagement models

How this work is structured

Fixed scope

Four-week proof of technology

Discovery sprint on your production systems, ending in a go / no-go decision and an ROI analysis.

8–12 weeks

Platform build

Phased delivery of the data and MLOps foundation.

Ongoing

Managed delivery

A POD accountable for a defined outcome, or squad augmentation where that is what is required.

Licensed

Product licensing

WorkWeave and BetterSDLC, deployed against your estate.

We will also say when a problem does not require machine learning. A rules engine that can be read and audited is often the better answer.
