AI Prototype to Production

Take your AI idea from prototype to production with independent experts who’ve done it for organisations like yours. 

Navigate from AI experimentation to production reality

Many businesses struggle to move beyond experimentation due to technical complexity, regulatory hurdles, and uncertainty around vendor selection. Our engineering-led advisory bridges that gap. We combine deep expertise in AI development and deployment with hands-on experience in highly regulated, complex environments – so you get practical guidance, not theory. 

Make the best choice

We are vendor-agnostic and have experience with a wide array of tools and platforms, so we can help you select those that are best-suited to your organisation.

Overcome obstacles

We help you overcome barriers to deployment and gain stakeholder alignment.

Reach the end goal

We’ve delivered £1 million in annual savings by developing a RAG-based bot for customer services which has made information retrieval more efficient.

Our tried-and-tested pathway to production

We’ve implemented GenAI for a diverse range of client use cases, from helping one of the largest US financial institutions use GenAI to boost productivity, to integrating GenAI into a legal platform to provide advanced document analysis.

1. Technical Foundation

Activities 

  • Design production architecture with emphasis on non-deterministic system management and integration with existing data stores and systems.
  • Create security patterns and controls for AI-specific threats and identified risks 

Outcomes 

  • Risk vs cost evaluation of the existing prototype implementation as foundations for production.  
  • Pre-release security sanity checks are embedded.
  • Content filtering and guardrails are established.

2. Governance and Quality

Activities 

  • Testing frameworks for probabilistic outputs/non-deterministic behaviour.
  • Validation approaches using expert benchmarks.
  • Telemetry and observability infrastructure. 

Outcomes 

  • Staged governance appropriate to maturity level.
  • Human verification remains essential, particularly for business logic validation.

3. Operational Readiness

Activities 

  • Monitoring and incident response capabilities assessment.
  • Cost modelling and optimisation.
  • Documentation and knowledge transfer.

Outcomes 

  • Model selection and deployment approach are aligned to cost and risk appetite.
  • Team is upskilled and self-sufficient.
