Workflow design
We map your existing process, find the model-tractable joints, and design a sequence that keeps humans in the loop where it matters.

Capabilities Three things we do.
Three things we do.
Nothing more.
We are not a tool vendor and we are not a research lab. We deliver working systems in regulated environments. Our scope is deliberately narrow.
Secure model operations
Private inference inside your VPC or in our HIPAA-eligible enclave. We own deployment, evaluation, and the on-call rotation.
See the stackEvidence & audit
Immutable logs of inputs, model versions, redaction events, and reviewer decisions — exportable to your GRC tooling.
Audit format How we work Pilot to production
Pilot to production
in six weeks.
Most AI engagements stall in proof-of-concept. Our timeline is fixed because the work is structured — discovery, design, ship. Each phase has a hard exit criterion.
01 · Week 1
Map & measure
Two-day on-site. We trace one workflow end-to-end and instrument it. You get a baseline report with handle times, error rates, and the three highest-leverage interventions.
Exit · signed baseline report 02 · Weeks 2–3
Design & approve
We draft the workflow, the controls, and the audit format. Your compliance, security and business owners sign off before any model touches data.
Exit · approved design + controls 03 · Weeks 4–6
Ship & operate
First production run inside three weeks. We own the on-call rotation for the first 60 days, then hand off — or stay on under an operating agreement.

onboarding by 38%.
A 14-branch community bank replaced a six-step manual KYC review with two model-assisted reviews. Median time-to-account fell from 4.2 days to 2.6.

What changed
Six manual reviews became two reviewer-assisted ones.
The first pass extracts and classifies document evidence; the second checks the model's reasoning against bank policy and applies the decision. Reviewers handle exceptions, edge cases, and the final sign-off — exactly the work the bank wanted them on.
- Median onboarding 4.2d → 2.6d (−38%)
- Reviewer capacity reclaimed: 1.8 FTE
- Zero compliance findings on subsequent audit
- Full per-application audit trail in 14 days
Compliance & security Built for environments
Built for environments
that don't tolerate surprises.
We work in healthcare and finance. Our default posture is what other vendors call "enterprise" — controls, evidence, and a clean audit log ship in the first release.

HIPAA-eligible
BAA on file. PHI redaction at ingest. Inference inside a single-tenant enclave.
SOC 2 Type II
Continuous controls. Annual audit. Customer-scoped key material with quarterly rotation.
Immutable audit log
Append-only record of every model call. Three-year retention. Streams to your GRC tooling.
Reviewer-in-the-loop
Approval gates on any decision your policy classes as material. Configurable per workflow.

A 90-minute, no-charge discovery call with a senior partner. We trace one of your workflows, name the model-tractable steps, and write a one-page baseline you can take to procurement.
