Data foundation and governance
Before AI, the meaning, quality, ownership and permitted use of data must be clear. Source systems, data dictionaries, access rules, quality controls and lifecycle are designed around the model requirement.
- Data platform and lakehouse architecture
- Metadata, lineage and quality rules
- Role- and purpose-based access
- BI, analytics and feature engineering
Enterprise RAG and knowledge retrieval
RAG is more than loading documents into a vector database. Chunking, metadata, permission filtering, hybrid search, reranking, source attribution and answer evaluation are designed for the task. Knowing when not to answer is part of the system behavior.
- Document and knowledge-source connectors
- Permission-aware retrieval and citations
- Answer-quality and retrieval testing
- User feedback and content lifecycle
Model adaptation through CPT and SFT
Not every problem requires model training. We first measure what prompting, RAG and tool use can achieve. If domain language or task behavior requires deeper adaptation, CPT and SFT datasets are prepared under controlled conditions and evaluated against the baseline model.
- Usage rights and data hygiene
- Training, validation and test separation
- Baseline versus adapted-model comparison
- Safety, drift and forgetting checks
Agentic AI and governed automation
AI agents are not treated as unconstrained digital employees. They are governed workflows with access to specific tools and decisions. Permission boundaries, human approval, action logs, budgets, timeouts and rollback are defined from the outset.
- Task and tool contracts
- Planning, execution and verification stages
- Human approval for high-impact actions
- Observability across agents, models and tools
