What matters to Vancouver teams

Speed, ROI and a team that scales with you

North American teams care about getting to market fast and proving return on investment. We focus on a production launch in weeks and measurable results after it.

01

Production in 25 to 30 days

A real, launchable first version in about a month, so you can sell, raise or learn sooner.

02

Senior talent, lower burn

Senior engineers at typical rates of $25 to $49 per hour, without recruiting costs or long notice periods.

03

Built to scale

Cloud architecture, automated tests and CI/CD from day one, ready for your next growth stage.

04

Security and compliance ready

HIPAA-trained team, HL7/FHIR experience, and security practices that fit SOC 2-style questionnaires.

What we do

What we build with LLMs

Custom LLM applications

Assistants, copilots and internal tools built around your workflows, not a generic chat window.

LLM integration

Add GPT, Claude or Gemini to your existing product through secure, well-tested APIs.

Open-source and private models

Deploy Llama and other open models on your own cloud when data must stay in-house.

Fine-tuning and evaluation

Tune models on your examples and measure accuracy with test sets before and after launch.

Guardrails and safety

Input and output filtering, PII masking, grounding checks and human review where needed.

Cost and latency optimisation

Model routing, caching and prompt design that keep responses fast and bills predictable.

In depth

How we approach LLM development

Choosing the right model

There is no single best model. We compare OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and open-source options on your real tasks for accuracy, speed, cost and data handling, and design the app so the model can be swapped later without a rewrite.

Grounded in your data

Most business value comes from connecting the model to your documents, databases and tools. We use retrieval (RAG), function calling and agents so answers come from your information and actions happen in your systems.

Built for production, not demos

We add evaluation test sets, logging, monitoring, rate limits, fallbacks and cost alerts from day one, so the app keeps working well after launch and you can see exactly what it is doing.

Security and compliance

Data minimisation, encryption, access control and providers configured not to train on your data. For healthcare we build to HIPAA requirements with BAAs in place for any service that touches PHI.

Working with us from Vancouver

How we work with Vancouver clients

Time-zone overlap

With flexible shifts we cover a daily stand-up in Pacific time, and work moves forward overnight so updates are ready each morning.

PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws

We build to PIPEDA principles (consent, limited collection, safeguards and access), keep data in Canadian cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.

Billing

Invoices in Canadian dollars (CAD) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

Sectors · Vancouver

Built for Vancouver's key sectors

Vancouver startups and product teams use us for SaaS, mobile and AI products, with privacy designed in line with PIPEDA and data hosted in Canada when required.

Natural resources and energy

Mining and oil firms digitise field operations and reporting. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Financial services

Major banks and fintechs modernise digital banking. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

AI research and tech

Strong AI ecosystem fuels startups shipping ML products. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Agriculture and food

Farm and food producers adopt supply-chain and traceability tools. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
