Technology

Four specific things we do in AI.

Not cybersecurity. Not mobile optimisation. Not backend development. RAG & hybrid retrieval, training local models & SLMs, agentic systems & MCPs, and AI applied research — researched, benchmarked, and deployed with paying clients.

What we build

The four capabilities

Retrieval that actually reasons

RAG & Hybrid Retrieval

We build hybrid retrieval infrastructure for enterprises — semantic + keyword + reranking — with provenance and contradiction detection. Our architecture outperforms industry benchmarks, with an open-source repository as proof.

Proof

Beats the McKinsey benchmark on retrieval accuracy

Local models & SLMs

Training & Fine-Tuning

We train and fine-tune small language models on an organisation’s own governed knowledge — instead of generic data. Sovereign AI: efficient, private, and economically defensible.

Proof

Small models on governed knowledge, not generic data

Verified agents & connectors

Agentic Systems, CLI & MCPs

We build agentic systems, command-line tools and MCP servers that let AI take governed, audited action across your stack — verifiable, not just capable.

Proof

Verified agents, Catalyst, Control8

AI applied to hard problems

AI Applied Research

We apply AI to solve complex problems for companies and research organisations — from regulatory compliance to scientific discovery — with published, benchmarked work behind it.

Proof

Published papers and real deployments
