AI engineering & data consulting

AI that holds up in production, for document-heavy and regulated work.

I help teams turn scattered documents and manual workflows into reliable AI systems, with the retrieval, evaluation and guardrails that make the answers trustworthy.

The problem

Your most useful information is buried in PDFs, emails and systems that don't talk to each other. You've tried an AI demo that looked brilliant, then fell apart on real data. You need it to actually work, and you need to trust what it tells you.

How the work holds up

Every document earns its path. Nothing is trusted until it's checked.

Hover a stage to follow it through. The cheap, verifiable path runs by default; AI is spent only where it's genuinely needed, and every output is evaluated before it's served.

SOURCES CONSUMERS PDFs & scans Databases APIs & email Dashboards Agents / copilots APIs & apps Deterministic AI fallback 01 Ingest raw · immutable 02 Extract quality-routed 03 Evaluate evals · guardrails 04 Serve governed output GOVERNANCE · LINEAGE · VERSIONING – every run traceable
01 / Ingest

Land it safely

Every source lands raw and immutable. Nothing is lost, nothing trusted yet.

02 / Extract

Spend AI wisely

Deterministic extraction first, scored for quality. Only low-confidence documents escalate to AI.

03 / Evaluate

Prove it's right

Outputs checked against known cases with evals and guardrails, not “looks good to me”.

04 / Serve

Serve with lineage

Dashboards, agents and APIs draw from the same governed, traceable result.

What are you trying to fix?

Tell me the situation. We'll find the right first step, together.

Route 1

Help me figure it out

You recognise a business problem but don't know the solution. We assess the workflow, weigh the options (including non-AI ones), and recommend a sensible first step.

Route 2

Help me build or improve something

You already know the technical need. Pick the service, review comparable work, and choose an assessment, build, audit or support engagement.

Our documents are impossible to search or extract

Our AI gives inconsistent or untrustworthy answers

We spend hours on repetitive, manual steps

AI & Workflow Opportunity Review

A starting point, not a diagnosis. We confirm the real problem, and whether AI is even the right tool, before recommending a build.
