Most companies say their software is mission-critical. We've built for environments where downtime has real operational consequences. The engineering discipline required is different — and most teams skip it.
Not every problem needs a model. We've talked clients out of AI engagements because the real bottleneck was a broken manual process that a database and a dashboard would fix in two weeks.
