01 / SERVICES
A connected approach to your existing systems, data, permissions, and operating model. From the first boundary to the final handoff.
Find one workflow with a clear owner, system boundary, and acceptance signal.
Connect APIs and data with explicit access, human approval, and failure paths.
Bring Eval, observability, audit, runbook, and rollback into the handoff.
WORKING TOGETHER
Start with a bounded workflow, a system owner, accessible test data and an observable outcome. Unclear data rights or unreviewable high-impact actions must be resolved before implementation.
Agree where services run, which model providers may receive data, who owns credentials, and how access is revoked. Private deployment and on-site work require explicit agreement; they are not implied by FDE.
Estimate after confirming connectors, data quality, access approvals, evaluation scope and support needs. Separate implementation effort from hosting, model usage and ongoing operations.
Record source-code and artifact ownership, customer responsibilities, acceptance sign-off, incident ownership and the support window in the scope of work. A handoff is not an automatic 24/7 support commitment.
ACCEPTANCE TEMPLATE
This is a planning template, not a claim of measured results. Set thresholds and owners for each engagement before development.
