Capability

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

AI systems designed to survive contact with real operations — evaluated, monitored, and reviewable by the people accountable for the results.

The problem

Most organizations do not have trouble producing an AI demonstration. They have trouble turning that demonstration into something staff can rely on. A model that works on a curated sample often behaves differently against live data, and without evaluation, access control, and human review built in, there is no defensible way to put it in front of an operational user.

Typical technologies

  • Python
  • PyTorch
  • scikit-learn
  • Hugging Face
  • LangChain
  • Vector databases
  • OpenAI and Anthropic APIs
  • Open-weight models
  • MLflow

What we deliver

  • AI solution architecture, including where a model belongs in a workflow and where it does not
  • Generative AI applications built on document, case, and record data
  • Retrieval-augmented generation over controlled document sets, with source citation
  • Natural language processing for classification, extraction, summarization, and search
  • Predictive modeling for forecasting, prioritization, triage, and risk scoring
  • AI agents and automated workflows with defined boundaries and audit trails
  • Model evaluation, benchmarking, and comparison against measurable acceptance criteria
  • Model serving, versioned endpoints, and prediction logging
  • Proof-of-concept development scoped to answer a specific technical question
  • Production hardening for prototypes that already show promise
  • Human-in-the-loop review steps so a person stays accountable for consequential decisions

Examples of project types

These describe the kind of work we take on. They are illustrative scopes, not descriptions of completed client projects.

  • A retrieval system over policy manuals, regulations, or contract files that answers staff questions with citations back to the source document
  • An intake classifier that routes incoming requests, forms, or correspondence to the correct queue and flags low-confidence items for review
  • A scoped proof of concept that establishes whether a proposed AI approach meets an accuracy or throughput threshold before larger investment
  • A production migration for an existing prototype, adding evaluation, logging, access control, and deployment automation
  • An evaluation harness that measures a model against the acceptance criteria written into a statement of work

Expected outcome

Staff spend less time on repetitive reading, sorting, and data entry, and decisions that carry consequences stay with a person who can see why the system made a recommendation.

Questions

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: common questions

Do you build generative AI assistants and chatbots?
Yes — retrieval-grounded assistants that answer only from an approved collection and cite their sources, with guardrails, escalation paths, and no retention of conversations where that is the requirement.
How do you evaluate an AI system before it goes into production?
Against a fixed evaluation set drawn from the real task, with a pass threshold agreed in advance, and re-run on every model or prompt change so quality cannot drift unnoticed.
Can AI run in a controlled or disconnected environment?
Yes. Open-weight models can run on local hardware, and hosted models can be reached through approved endpoints, depending on the data’s sensitivity and the program’s requirements.
