Engagement — Embedded AI Partner

Keep production AI alive after launch.

Shipping the model is the start of the work, not the end. We stay embedded alongside your team, evaluating every change, catching drift early, and owning the reliability of your AI in production.

Why it matters

Shipping the model is the start of the work.

Models degrade as the world shifts underneath them. An AI system that was accurate at launch drifts quietly, and unowned systems rot.

Production AI isn't a build you finish, it's a system you keep alive. Inputs change, prompts and models get updated, edge cases surface, and quality slips in ways no one notices until a customer does. Catching that needs evaluations, monitoring, and someone accountable for the numbers, not just a dashboard nobody watches.

The Embedded AI Partner is that accountability. We act as a fractional AI architect alongside your team, gating every change behind evals, detecting drift with a fast path back to known-good, and owning incident response, so your AI stays reliable, on-scope, and safe long after launch. Monthly, cancel or scale any time.

What's included

What keeping it alive looks like.

The ongoing work that separates a system that runs from one that rots.

Evals

Evals that gate every change

Nothing ships to production without clearing a measured quality bar, so "it still works" is a fact, not a hope.

Drift

Drift detection & rollback

Catch degradation early, with a fast, clean path back to the last known-good state.

Observability

Observability

Latency, cost, and quality on a dashboard someone actually watches, and acts on.

Safety

Guardrails & incident response

Limits, fallbacks, and a rehearsed plan for when something breaks at the worst time.

Architect

Fractional AI architect

Senior AI architecture on call, without carrying the cost of a full-time hire.

Roadmap

Roadmap ownership

We help plan and ship what comes next, with priority response between releases.

How it works

Onboard, operate, evolve.

01

Onboard

We learn your system and stand up the safety net around it.

  • System & architecture review
  • Eval sets & quality bars
  • Dashboards & guardrails
02

Operate

The day-to-day work of keeping production AI reliable.

  • Monitoring & drift detection
  • Evals on every change
  • Incident response
03

Evolve

We improve and extend the system alongside your team.

  • Roadmap planning
  • New capabilities & improvements
  • Priority response between releases
Is it the right fit?

Built for life after launch.

A strong fit

Start here if…

You have AI in production, or about to be. You need it monitored, evaluated, and owned. And you want senior AI architecture on call without committing to a full-time hire.

Probably not yet

Come back later if…

You haven't built the system yet, in which case start with an AI Assessment or an Implementation Sprint. Or you have a prototype not yet in production, which is Production Rescue.

Questions

What teams ask before partnering.

Can you work alongside our existing team?

That's the whole model. We embed as a fractional AI architect alongside your people, setting up the evals and guardrails and staying accountable for reliability, while your team keeps ownership of the system.

What's the commitment?

Monthly, with the freedom to cancel or scale any month. It flexes with what production actually needs, rather than locking you into a long contract.

Do you take over, or support our team?

Support. We don't take the system away from you, we make it safer to run. Your team stays in control; we bring the senior AI engineering discipline that keeps it healthy.

What if we only need occasional help?

Then you scale down. The point of a monthly, flexible arrangement is that you carry the level of cover the system needs right now, and change it as that changes.
