Ways to work together
From a focused session you can book today to an embedded engagement, each service is built around one goal: getting your AI across the gap from demo to dependable production. See the track record in case studies.
Focused sessions
Fixed-scope, bookable now — a multi-agent architecture review, an agentic-AI security audit, or a FinOps optimization session. Pricing shown up front.
Book on Topmate →AI Production Readiness Audit
A short review of whether your AI system is production-ready — success criteria, evaluation, cost, security, reliability — with a prioritized action plan.
About the audit →POC-to-Production Rescue
Stalled pilot? A focused engagement to get a stuck proof-of-concept across the line to production — or to an honest go/no-go, fast.
About the rescue →Fractional Forward Deployed Engineer
I embed with your team and build your first real production AI win on your data, then harden it and hand it over so you own it.
About the Fractional FDE engagement →Not sure which fits? Run the free AI Production Readiness assessment, or just book a discovery call and we'll scope it together.
How these fit together
The four offers are one ladder, ordered by how deeply I get involved. A focused session answers a specific question in an afternoon — an architecture review, a security pass, a cost workshop. The audit gives you an evidence-based picture of where your AI system actually stands, and a prioritized plan to close the gaps. The rescue takes one stalled proof-of-concept and drives it to production — or to an honest go/no-go, which is sometimes the more valuable answer. And the fractional engagement embeds me with your team until the win is shipped, hardened, and owned by you — forward-deployed work in the full sense.
If you're unsure where to start, start small: an audit or a single session is usually how the bigger engagements begin. The approach behind all of them is the same one I've used from seed-stage startups to regulated enterprises — prove value on your real data first, then make it survive what a demo never meets: the security review, the cost at volume, the messy edge cases. It's the discipline behind a 57% cloud-cost reduction at Tata and a 30K+ TPS payment engine at Globe, and it's written up in the free Forward-Deployed Playbook if you'd like to see the method before we talk.
