Embed

Two senior AI engineers embed with your team and ship the missing piece — the retrieval layer, the eval harness, the data integration — to production. Knowledge transfer is part of the contract.

Common questions

On pricing.

Is the audit really free?
Yes — one free audit per quarter, per company. One week of engineering time, no charge, no obligation. The cap is what lets us commit real engineering time. If we can't help, you keep the report.
Do you do equity / sweat-equity?
Sometimes. We have a small dedicated pool for early-stage AI products. Pitch us.
Can we pay in HKD / RMB / USD?
Yes. We invoice in HKD by default; USD and RMB on request. Wire or local bank transfer.
What's the cap on Embed?
Embed is capped at 8 weeks. After that you either move to Run (managed ops) or wrap. This forces a real handover, not an indefinite dependency.
What does the Run monthly retainer cover?
Everything post-MVP: on-call during HKT hours, model swaps, data drift, retrieval quality, prompt regression, eval suite maintenance, monthly architecture review, quarterly business review.
