Applied AI, engineered for production.
A specialist consultancy for businesses that have proven an AI concept and need it built properly — secure, reliable, and ready to operate at scale.
Most AI initiatives stall between prototype and production.
A prototype proves the idea under ideal conditions. Production introduces the variables it never accounted for: unpredictable inputs, concurrent users, cost ceilings, security requirements, and the question that determines trust — what happens when the model is wrong?
Hiring a full-time AI engineer to close that gap means $200k+ in salary and months of recruiting. We close it in weeks, with senior engineers who have done it before.
Capabilities that take AI from prototype to production.
From initial strategy through to a system your team can operate independently.
From spark to system.
Audit
We assess your prototype and define precisely what stands between it and production.
Harden
Evaluations, error handling, security, cost controls, and monitoring — the engineering that determines reliability.
Deploy
We move to production with full observability and a tested rollback strategy.
Hand off
Complete documentation and knowledge transfer, so your team owns and operates the system.
Pyrphoros — the bearer of fire.
In the myth, Prometheus carries fire from the gods to humankind, turning a power reserved for a few into something anyone can build with. That principle defines our work.
AI is the fire. Our role is to place it in your hands safely — not as a black box you depend on us to maintain, but as a production system your team understands, owns, and operates.
Perspectives on AI in production.
Why most Claude prototypes never reach production
The demonstration succeeds, yet the system fails under real use. An examination of the gap most teams never scope for.
Evaluations: the difference between a demonstration and a product
Without a way to measure whether your AI is improving or regressing, every release is a guess. How we establish evaluation suites.
Fractional versus full-time: the real cost of an AI hire
A $200k salary, months of recruiting, and ramp time, weighed against senior engineering delivered in weeks. The economics for SMBs.
