AI Engineering at Enterprise Scale
The numbers behind every AI engagement we take on for California clients.
Data Security Engineered Into Every AI Pipeline
An AI model is only as trustworthy as the data pipeline feeding it. Every engagement starts with the same security baseline — encryption in transit and at rest, scoped access control, and versioned data lineage.
- Encryption at rest and in transit for all training and inference data
- Role-based access control scoped to the smallest team that needs it
- Versioned data pipelines so any model output is traceable to its source data
- Independent code review before any model reaches production

AI Development Within California's Privacy Framework
California has the strictest consumer-privacy law in the US. We scope CCPA and CPRA considerations during discovery, not as a retrofit before launch.
- Data minimisation and disclosure requirements scoped into architecture from day one
- Opt-out handling, including Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal recognition
- Limits on how sensitive personal information can be used in model training
- SOC 2-aligned engineering practices for access control and audit logging

Production Software, Not Demos
8+ years building software that has to work in production — a model that only performs in a notebook isn't a deliverable to us.
MLOps Included
Every model gets containerised inference, monitoring and a CI/CD path — not a one-time export.
Fixed-Scope Sprints
Two-week sprints with a defined deliverable, so an AI project never becomes an open-ended budget.
Real West-Coast Overlap
Our Austin, Texas office and distributed team give California clients practical daily overlap.
CCPA-Aware From Day One
Data handling decisions get scoped against CCPA/CPRA during discovery, not retrofitted before launch.

Everything You Need to Know Before You Hire.
The questions we hear most from teams hiring a ai development in california. Don't see yours? Ask us directly on the right.
Custom models, generative AI features, RAG pipelines, AI chatbots and process-automation tools — matched to your product's actual data and workflow, not a generic wrapper around a public API.
A focused AI feature (a chatbot, a RAG pipeline, a classification model) typically runs $25,000–$70,000. A full generative AI product with multiple integrations can run $150,000+. We scope against your actual requirements after a discovery call.
We scope data minimisation, opt-out handling (including Global Privacy Control signals), and disclosure requirements into the architecture during discovery — including limits on how sensitive personal information can be used in model training.
Our US headquarters is in Austin, Texas, with additional offices in London, UK and Mohali, India. We serve California clients remotely with strong Pacific-time overlap.
Yes — we typically wire in a hosted model behind a RAG pipeline grounded in your own documents, so answers stay accurate to your business rather than generic.
A focused MVP (a chatbot or a single classification model) typically takes 6-10 weeks. A full generative AI product with multiple integrations usually runs 16-24 weeks.
Yes — we're happy to sign an NDA before any detailed discussion of your data, business logic or systems.
