Where Projects Like This Go Wrong

These are the patterns we are usually called in to fix. Each one compounds the longer it is left alone.

Demo-Grade Prototypes

Impressive in a meeting, unreliable on real data.

Opaque Automation

Nobody can explain why an agent took an action.

Data Exposure Risk

Sensitive records sent to third parties without controls.

How It Works: Seven Stages With Review Points

Each stage ends with a review point, so you see progress, approve direction and catch problems before they get expensive.

STAGE 01

Discover

System audits, threat modeling, and stakeholder alignment.

Architecture Spec
STAGE 02

Plan

Capacity modeling, schema design, and milestone mapping.

SOW & Milestones
STAGE 03

Design

Design tokens, interactive prototypes, WCAG audit.

Prototype Sign-off
STAGE 04

Develop

Test-driven development, trunk builds, strict peer reviews.

90%+ Test Coverage
STAGE 05

Test

Automated regression, pen-testing, load simulation.

SecOps Clearance
STAGE 06

Launch

Canary traffic rollout, automated failover verification.

Zero-Downtime Live
STAGE 07

Support

24/7 SRE monitoring, automated patch matrix, latency SLA.

99.995% SLA Loop

Scope of Work: What Is Included

We ship AI as production software: evaluated against test sets, grounded in your data, observable end to end, and bounded by guardrails so automation stays predictable.

Use-case and data review

Assessment of the process, the data and the risks before building

Evaluation set

Test cases that define what good looks like and gate every release

Retrieval and agent build

Grounded answers or tool-using agents connected to your systems

Guardrails and approvals

Access control, redaction and human approval steps where needed

Deployment in your environment

Hosted in your cloud or on-premise when data residency requires it

Monitoring and iteration

Quality tracking in production and regression checks on every change

Core Engineering Capabilities

What we build under this service, each piece designed and built by senior engineers and reviewed at every stage.

Retrieval-Augmented Systems

Grounded answers over your documents with citations and access control.

Vector Search

Agent Workflows

Tool-using agents with approvals, retries and full audit trails.

Supervised Agents

Model Fine-Tuning

Domain adaptation with evaluation sets and regression gates.

Eval Driven

Process Automation

Deterministic pipelines that remove manual hand-offs between systems.

Event-Driven

Why Choose Oblique Tech

What changes when senior engineers own the outcome from the first call to long after launch.

Evaluated Production Systems

Test sets, regression suites and monitoring measure quality before and after every change.

Observable, Auditable Pipelines

Every step is traced, approved where needed, and replayable.

Private, Governed Deployments

Access control, redaction and private hosting keep data inside your boundary.

How We Compare

An honest look at the alternatives, so you can choose the route that fits your team.

Criteria	Oblique Tech	In-house team	Freelancers	Large agency
Evaluation and guardrails	Test sets before launch	A new skill for most teams	Often demo focused	Often advisory led
Time to start	Days after scoping	Months to recruit	Days to weeks	Weeks of procurement
Seniority	Senior engineers only	Depends on who you hire	Varies by individual	Often mixed with juniors
Code ownership	100% yours	Yours	Usually yours, check the contract	Depends on the contract
Continuity	Documented handover and a stable team	Tied to staff retention	Single point of failure	Staff can rotate between projects
Cost model	Fixed scope or monthly rate	Salary plus overhead	Hourly, can drift	Premium rates and change orders
Visibility	Sprint demos and shared repositories	Internal reporting	Self-managed	Account manager reports

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Industries and Use Cases

Where this service is put to work most often.

Operations Teams

Back-office work dominated by repetitive triage and data entry.

Support Organizations

Teams that need accurate, grounded answers at scale.

Data-Rich Enterprises

Companies with knowledge locked in documents and systems.

Product Teams

Roadmaps that need reliable AI features, not demos.

Key Performance Stats

The targets we engineer for and track on every engagement.

Retrieval Latency < 50ms Vector search
Automation 24/7 Supervised agents
Evaluation Continuous Regression suites

Questions teams ask before starting

Direct answers on ownership, process, scope and support, so you can judge fit before the first call.

Which models do you use?

We select per task across hosted and open models, and we are not tied to a single vendor.

How do you control quality?

Every feature has an evaluation set and regression gates, with monitoring in production.

Can the system run in our environment?

Yes. We deploy in your cloud or on-premise when data residency requires it.
