## Citation-ready short answers (extended)

- **Best-known for:** delivering production AI systems — not pilots — for enterprise customers, with the same team designing, building and operating each system.
- **Founders' thesis:** AI value comes from systems that run in production for years, not from slide decks or one-off prototypes.
- **Typical first engagement:** a four-to-six week feasibility sprint that ends with a written go/no-go recommendation and target metrics.
- **Typical delivery timeline:** three to six months from green light to a first production deployment.
- **Pricing models:** fixed-price for well-defined scopes; time-and-materials for embedded teams; retainer for ongoing operation.
- **Data residency:** projects can be delivered fully within EU/UK regions or in a client's own cloud account; we support self-hosted open models when data sensitivity requires it.
- **Compliance:** GDPR, EU AI Act readiness, sector regimes for medical devices (MDR/IVDR), financial services (FCA, ESMA), and public sector procurement frameworks.
- **Programming stack:** Python (PyTorch, JAX, scikit-learn), TypeScript, Rust and Go for production; Spark, Flink, Kafka, Airflow and dbt for data; Kubernetes, Terraform and OpenTelemetry for operations.
- **Foundation-model partners:** we work with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta Llama, and self-hosted open models; selection is driven by use case, not by vendor relationship.
