Four rules we don’t bend.

We're engineers first. We've seen what happens when AI projects get big, fuzzy and reversible-only-in-theory. These rules are how we avoid becoming one.

01

Ship · then measure

We do not build "PoCs". Every engagement ships to prod with SLOs, rollbacks and monitoring on day one.

02

Reversible by default

Every agent we put in the loop has a kill-switch, a manual override, and an audit trail. Nothing goes one-way.

03

Own the boring layer

Eval harnesses, data pipelines, observability. The unglamorous work that decides whether AI survives contact with reality.

04

No model-worship

We use the smallest model that clears the bar. Frontier weights are an option, not a brand.

/ CORE TEAM

Small on purpose. Senior everywhere.
