AI & Automation.

Practical AI that ships. Not demos.

Cost controls, evaluation suite, prompts under version control. An AI project without an eval pipeline isn't a project — it's a demo.

What this means in practice

How the work actually shows up.

01

Anthropic-first integrations — caching, cost caps, structured outputs where they earn their keep.

02

Evaluation suites and prompt/version discipline before anything touches users.

03

MCP servers when tool reuse across clients or agents justifies the surface area.

04

Structured extraction into Postgres — typed records, not mystery JSON blobs.

Deliverables
  • Prompt engineering + evaluation suite
  • Anthropic / OpenAI API integration with caching + cost controls
  • MCP server(s) for tool orchestration
  • Structured extraction pipeline (Postgres ingest)
Stack
  • Anthropic Claude (API + MCP)
  • OpenAI (where justified)
  • Python / FastMCP
  • TypeScript
  • Postgres
  • Sentry
Pricing · Build tiers

Clear anchors.

These are scoped build tiers after the Discovery Sprint (€1,500). Retainers, hand-off, and invoicing rules live on the pricing page.

Integration€5,000 – €9,000
Typical 4–8 weeks

One production use case — API integration, caching, cost controls.

  • Scoped integration architecture
  • Prompt + eval for the primary workflow
  • Cost monitoring hooks
  • Handoff documentation
Pipeline€9,000 – €16,000
Typical 8–14 weeks

Structured extraction → Postgres, evaluation suite, production monitoring.

  • End-to-end extraction pipeline
  • Schema + validation on ingest
  • Eval harness + regression checks
  • Dashboards for cost + error rate
Tooling€16,000+
Scoped after Discovery

MCP servers, multi-agent orchestration, custom evaluation infrastructure.

  • Multi-agent or multi-tool orchestration
  • Custom MCP + internal tooling
  • Long-term eval + model-migration playbook

FAQ · AI & Automation

The honest questions.

Anthropic (Claude) is my default for reasoning + tool use. OpenAI where a specific capability wins. Local models only when residency or cost forces it.
