We know what will go wrong. We fix it in the right order.

Two kinds of teams come to us. Startups building with AI who need concrete fixes now, and organizations integrating AI into systems that already run the business.

The problems differ. The way we work does not. Understand the system, name the problems, fix what matters first.

You are building a product that runs on LLMs and agents, and it has to ship. You need someone who has already seen the problem you are about to hit and can help you fix it with the right tooling, an adjusted approach, or a change of architecture, in weeks rather than quarters.

One call

We know what questions to ask, from early risk awareness tools and the experience of having watched these systems fail.

Problems, named

We tell you the problems and the opportunities, in the order they matter.

Fixed together

In the model that makes sense for you. We do not build from scratch. We tune, customize, and make the pieces work together.

Problems we solve

  • A single crafted input can breach your product

    Prompt injection through a document, a web page or a tool response; data exfiltration through a tool call; an agent holding more permission than the feature needs: each one a security incident that costs customers and reputation, not a model quirk. We threat model the system you actually built and fix what architecture can fix, instead of patching it in the prompt.

  • Your evaluations are your IP, and you do not have them yet

    Evals are what let you change a model, a prompt or a chain without guessing, and they have to answer three questions at once: does it do the job, does it stay reliable, does it hold under attack. We build that set from your real traffic and keep it running in CI.

  • Your guardrails are deployed, not validated

    Every vendor sells a guardrail; most block your users, miss your attackers, and are never re-tested after the next prompt change. We tune the controls to your use case and put them under regression so a change cannot silently undo them.

  • Your agents have privileged access and no identity

    Agents call tools, MCP servers and other agents with credentials never designed for non-human callers, so nobody can say which agent did what, on whose behalf. We put identity, permission and trust boundaries where the damage would happen, and the audit trail exists before someone asks for one.

  • Cost and reliability break down at scale

    Spend that scales with usage instead of value, retries that mask failures, latency that loses users. We find the causes and fix both cost and reliability without a rewrite.

  • Regulatory requirements block what you want to ship

    A customer's security review, an investor's diligence, an EU AI Act obligation: each one standing between a finished feature and shipping it. We tell you what applies, what does not, and the shortest defensible path through.

How we work with you

  • Find-and-fix sprint

    You show us the system, we tell you the problems, then we fix the ones that matter, in order.

    You leave with: Working code, the fixes that mattered, and a ranked list of what is next.

    1 to 3 weeks
  • Evaluations and guardrails build

    We build the evaluation set that tells you whether the system does the job, stays reliable and holds under attack, from your real traffic. Then we tune your guardrails against it.

    You leave with: The eval set running in CI, your guardrails under regression, and a team able to extend both.

    2 to 4 weeks
  • Embedded security engineering

    One of us inside your team while you build, in the repos and the standups.

    You leave with: Reviews, evals, guardrails and threat modelling at the pace of your sprints, not after them.

    Part time, by the month
  • Deep-tech advisory

    For the questions that block a decision: is this architecture safe, which vendor, what does the AI Act mean for us.

    You leave with: Answers from people who have built and broken these systems, when the decision is live.

    On call

Every engagement starts with a short discovery call and is scoped to what will actually reduce risk. Ask us for the investment ranges that match your setup.
