The Plumber's Roadmap
A predictable, transparent process from messy data to working AI—typically in 4 weeks.
The Audit
We map your "Data Graveyard"—identifying legacy SQL databases, messy SharePoint folders, siloed PDFs, and forgotten Confluence pages.
- 01 Inventory all data sources and access patterns
- 02 Identify data quality issues and gaps
- 03 Define priority use cases with stakeholders
- 04 Assess infrastructure and security requirements
Typical Findings
Custom Architecture
We design a custom Chunking Strategy. Different data needs different logic—a 200-page legal brief is indexed differently than a clinical trial summary table.
- 01 Design document-type-specific chunking rules
- 02 Select embedding models for your domain
- 03 Configure re-ranking and retrieval logic
- 04 Design the infrastructure (Infrastructure as Code, Containers)
Sample Chunking Decision
// Legal Contract { strategy: "clause-aware", chunk_size: 1500, overlap: 200, split_on: ["ARTICLE", "SECTION"], preserve: ["definitions", "headers"] } // Clinical Trial PDF { strategy: "table-preserving", chunk_size: 800, overlap: 100, extract_tables: true, preserve: ["figure_refs", "citations"] }
The Deployment
The "Ninja" phase. We spin up the infrastructure (Infrastructure, Database, AI) and deploy a minimalist frontend dashboard for your team.
- 01 Deploy vector database (Vector Database)
- 02 Run initial document ingestion pipeline
- 03 Connect LLM (LLM of choice)
- 04 Launch internal dashboard + user training
Deployment Checklist
The Pulse
Our maintenance engine monitors for drift, updates embeddings as new documents are added, and patches the LLM as better models emerge.
- ↻ Continuous re-indexing of new documents
- ↻ Weekly performance reports
- ↻ Security patches and dependency updates
- ↻ Model upgrades (e.g., Model v1 → Model v2)
