Porter
An intake agent you can interrupt.
Call with a messy request, change direction, or ask for something outside scope. Porter is built to clarify, contain, and hand off.
Applied AI systems
We design, test, and operate AI systems that answer real calls, use private knowledge, and stay inside clear boundaries.
The model is one component. The product is the boundary, evaluation, interface, and operating evidence around it.
Live proof
Use the systems. Then inspect what was tested and what remains open.

Custos
Ask questions against a controlled knowledge base. Custos shows how retrieval, permissions, and citations work as one system.
What we build
Begin with one bounded workflow. Expand after its value, security boundary, and operating cost are clear.
Answer calls, clarify intent, capture details, and hand work to the right person or system.
Search controlled document sets with citations and permission-aware retrieval.
Give models narrow tools for research, drafting, triage, and approved record updates.
Add evaluation, observability, cost controls, cloud delivery, and incident-ready runbooks.
The operating system around the model
A useful prototype can fail in production if access, actions, evaluation, and ownership remain vague. We make each one explicit.
Who can see which source, record, or action.
What the model may do, and where approval is required.
Which known failures block a release.
What happens when quality, cost, or a dependency drifts.
How we work
Map the users, data, actions, and cost of failure.
Ship the smallest useful system against real constraints.
Test quality, adversarial cases, latency, and cost.
Deploy with monitoring, runbooks, and clear ownership.
Starting points
Start with a sprint or pilot. Expand when the first system has proven its value and exposed the real integration work.
Map one workflow, its data boundary, constraints, and success measures.
One call flow, one handoff destination, monitoring, and launch evidence.
One team, one interface, a bounded document set, and permission testing.
Identity, integrations, deployment, observability, rollout, and support.
Monitoring, eval maintenance, dependency updates, and incident support.
Final pricing depends on identity, integrations, deployment, rollout size, and support. No retainer is required to start.
Who builds it
The people in the first meeting design, build, and test the system.
