Enterprise capabilities

Production AI for regulated teams

Azure-first by default. Portable to AWS and GCP. We implement production AI for teams in the Microsoft Azure and Greenwood Cyber + AI Lab ecosystem, one block from G-ACE in Tulsa.

OpenTelemetry-instrumented pipelines. Semantic caching at retrieval boundaries. Strict serialization schemas on every agent handoff.

01 / Production

Autonomous Agentic Workflows

Multi-agent orchestration that replaces brittle, human-stitched internal processes with supervised, deterministic execution. We design mesh fabrics where each agent role is bounded, observable, and recoverable, not a black-box chain of LLM calls.

  • Microsoft AutoGen and LangGraph mesh topologies with deterministic state machines
  • Azure AI Foundry tool binding, policy gates, and managed identity integration
  • OpenTelemetry trace propagation across agent handoffs and tool invocations
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints with immutable audit logs before side effects

02 / Production

Zero-Trust AI Guardrails & Security

Validation layers that sit between the LLM and the user. Structural output is guaranteed, hallucination is contained, and regulated data never leaves its boundary. Every response passes through schema enforcement before it reaches a downstream system or human reviewer.

  • Strict serialization schemas enforced at inference boundaries (Zod, Pydantic, JSON Schema)
  • Hallucination filters with confidence thresholds and citation-required outputs
  • Prompt-injection, PII egress, and tool-use policy controls with deny-by-default routing
  • SOC 2 and HIPAA-aligned isolation patterns with semantic cache invalidation on policy drift

03 / Production

Enterprise RAG & Cognitive Infrastructure

High-scale semantic memory pipelines built on hybrid vector architectures, engineered to hold latency and cost under real enterprise query load. We treat retrieval as infrastructure, not a notebook demo, with strict serialization schemas on every chunk boundary.

  • Hybrid vector retrieval across pgvector and Qdrant with dense-sparse fusion
  • Semantic caching layers with TTL-aware invalidation and query fingerprinting
  • Re-ranking, query rewriting, and citation tracing under latency budgets
  • Cost-aware index design with OpenTelemetry metrics on retrieval fan-out

04 / ResearchR&D

Future Tech & Advanced Engineering

Early-stage exploratory work on edge optimizations and post-2027 advantage positioning. We run bounded R&D engagements for partners who need feasibility signal before committing production budget. Work is anchored in the Greenwood Cyber + AI Lab ecosystem in Tulsa.

  • Edge inference optimizations: quantization, speculative decoding, and KV-cache tuning
  • Quantum-classical hybrid feasibility studies across VQE, QAOA, and Grover-style search
  • Advanced engineering paradigms: event-sourced agent state, CRDT sync, WASM sandboxes
  • Azure Quantum and IBM Qiskit prototyping with classical-quantum integration patterns

Engagement model

1Paid technical auditFeasibility call and architectural deep dive. Fee credited toward the build.
2Architecture sprintFixed-scope milestones, priced per release — no open-ended hourly billing.
3Embedded build & handoffSenior engineers co-create inside your team, then transfer the capability on exit.

Milestone pricing, not hourly. Engineers embed in your team and transfer the capability on handoff — you own the system, the weights, and the runbooks.

Ready to scope a production engagement?

Start with a paid technical feasibility audit. We map your current stack, identify guardrail gaps, and deliver an architecture sprint plan before any retained build begins. The audit fee is credited toward a retained build started within 30 days.

For a full diagnostic, the AI Readiness & Architecture Assessment ($5k–$25k) delivers a 15-to-25-page roadmap and an embedded AI transformation lead who translates the model risk into business terms for your stakeholders.
