# ActiveWizards — AI Engineering Consultancy

Production AI systems built, audited, and stabilized. Principal-led. Governance from day one.

## Best-Fit Situations

- Agent demo works but production path doesn't (checkpoints, approvals, observability missing)
- Multiple AI initiatives competing for budget need architecture triage
- Agent system is live but reliability or governance is degraded
- Streaming data volume outgrew the batch pipeline
- High-stakes build where wrong design is expensive

## Engagement Tracks

- **Validate** — Production AI Readiness Review: five business days, one live or near-live system, Production Boundary Diagnostic with ranked risks and the next safe decision
- **Build** — Scoped build sprint (2-12 weeks) or Embedded Delivery Pod (minimum 8-12 weeks), with artifact handoff
- **Stabilize** — Stabilization Sprint: fixed-fee corrective engineering for one known failure path; scope lands in days
- **Embed** — Embedded AI Advisory: ongoing architecture counterpart with principal access (3+ months)

## What We Don't Do

- Staff augmentation or anonymous resource pools
- Pure strategy without implementation handoff
- Vendor-agnostic "advisory" that avoids architecture decisions
- Projects where no one has authority to ship
