A Working, Governed AI Agent in Production. In Weeks, Not Quarters.

Dubai has given its private sector two years to adopt agentic AI. The training on offer will teach your teams what agents can do. It will not get one running safely inside your business. That is the hard part, and it is an infrastructure and governance problem rather than a training one.

The AI Proof Sprint is where you start with something real.

What It Is

A fixed-price engagement of two to three weeks, delivery-led rather than a slide assessment. We take one high-value, well-bounded process in your business and put a working, governed AI agent into it, with the integrations, guardrails, security, and monitoring in place from day one.

What You Walk Away With
Something That Works
  • A live agent running in a real process, not a demo
The Real Blocker, Named
  • A clear read on what actually stands between you and scaling agents across the business
A Costed Path to Scale
  • What it takes to go further, with numbers you can plan around
Who It Is For

Mid-to-large firms in financial services, professional services, retail, and logistics, where an agent has real operational leverage and running it safely is not optional. If you are weighing what agentic AI looks like inside your business, rather than inside an announcement, this is the way in.

Why Vertex Agility
  • Enterprise-grade. We put agents into regulated enterprises and stand behind them. Governance and human-in-the-loop controls are built in from the start, never bolted on.
  • Proven. Delivery credentials with tier-one financial services and professional services clients.
  • Efficient. Delivery teams across the UK, India, and Poland give you cost and capacity most local providers cannot match.
  • Full-stack. Software, data, cloud, DevOps, and platform engineering under one roof. The plumbing agents need to run.

Start With a Proof

Two years is a countdown, not a press release. The firms that start now will be the ones everyone else spends the next two years trying to catch.

The Problem

You're rushing into AI without the foundations. If data quality, governance, and culture aren't ready, AI initiatives fail expensively and breed scepticism.

The Challenge
  • AI projects fail from weak data foundations and governance gaps
  • Teams lack the skills and culture to adopt AI
  • Your infrastructure isn't ready to run AI at scale
  • Regulatory and ethical needs get noticed too late
The Why

AI needs the right data, infrastructure, governance, and culture. This diagnostic shows exactly what to build before you launch, so you avoid costly failures and set up sustainable success.

Ready to Get Started?
The Problem

You struggle to find, validate, and scale AI use cases that deliver measurable value – and you get stuck in proof-of-concept purgatory.

The Challenge
  • Use cases stall in PoC and never make production
  • No systematic approach to find high-value AI opportunities
  • Teams focus on tech over business outcomes

Know Exactly What It Takes to Run Your AI Properly – Before You Commit to Anything.

A fixed-fee engagement of two to three weeks. We map your stack, and where model monitoring does not already exist – which is the usual case – we deploy and tune off-the-shelf tooling to your models, in your own cloud environment, so your data never leaves it. Where we did not build the system, this is how we learn to run it.

What You Get (Deliverables)
A Run-Readiness Report
  • The stack mapped: models, pipelines, endpoints, and where the risk sits today
  • The gaps a risk function would flag, named plainly
  • An SLA baseline set against how the system actually behaves
Monitoring Deployed & Tuned
  • Standard, proven tooling deployed into your tenant – not a platform of ours you get locked into
  • Tuned to your models and thresholds, not left at defaults
  • Live instrumentation, not a slide about instrumentation
A Costed Bill of Materials
  • The running costs you will bear – data capture, storage, compute, licences – surfaced up front
  • The cost that usually bites (prediction logging) identified before it does
  • No mid-contract surprises, by design
A Clean Route Into the Run
  • The managed transition scoped on the face of the report
  • Part of the audit fee credited against the retainer on conversion
  • Walk away after the audit if you choose – the report is yours either way
Who It Is For

Organisations with AI or data systems live in production – whether we built them or someone else did. It is also the natural next step when a free AI Health Scan comes back red or amber: the scan shows you the symptom on one model, the audit instruments the estate and confirms what it means.

Timeline
2–3 weeks
Engagement Model
Fixed fee
The Outcome

You decide about the retainer with the facts in hand: what is monitored, what it costs to run, and where the risk sits today.

The Recurring Assurance Layer That Keeps Your AI Accurate, Governed and in Control.

An AI system in production is not a finished thing. It is a living system that decays quietly. Accuracy drifts as the world moves under the model, nothing crashes, and the first anyone hears of it is a bad decision, a complaint, or a regulator's question.

We built it, or we adopt what you have built. Then we run it – on an SLA, with a named owner, and evidence you can show your own risk function.

The Problem
  • Models rot silently – accuracy drifts while the dashboards stay green
  • Nobody owns the run – the people who built it move on, and your team can keep the servers up but cannot diagnose a drifting model
  • The bill creeps – inference and compute cost drifts upward because no one watches it as a discipline
  • The evidence does not exist – when risk, audit or a regulator asks “prove this model is behaving”, there is no lineage, no eval history, no model card
What It Is

A managed service built on two layers. The platform layer – infrastructure, pipelines, uptime, cost – is the floor. The ModelOps layer is the product: model accuracy and performance, data and concept drift, retraining, eval scoring, guardrail and RAG monitoring, lineage and model cards. Generic managed DevOps watches the infrastructure; we watch the thing that actually degrades.

How It Starts

Every engagement opens with the fixed-fee Onboarding & Assurance Audit above: two to three weeks to map the stack, deploy and tune monitoring in your own environment, and set the SLA baseline – with part of the fee credited against the retainer on conversion. Not sure you need any of this yet? Start with the free AI Health Scan on one model.

What You Get (Deliverables)
Someone Watching the Model
  • Models, pipelines and endpoints monitored against defined SLAs
  • Data and concept drift detection, so degradation is caught before your users feel it
  • Eval scoring and guardrail monitoring for LLM and RAG systems
Accuracy Kept, Not Just Checked
  • A defined retraining and re-validation cadence
  • A committed block of ML engineering days each month, drawn against a change menu
  • Model tuning, threshold work, pipeline changes, and new models brought into scope
Accountability & Cost Control
  • Incident response to an agreed SLA, with a named contact rather than a ticket queue
  • FinOps discipline on inference and compute spend – frequently self-funding
  • A UK-fronted service owner, with delivery teams across the UK, India, and Poland
The Monthly Assurance Pack
  • Audit logs, lineage, model cards and eval reports, produced monthly
  • The evidence a regulated client can show its own risk function
  • A monthly service review against the SLA baseline
Who It Is For

Mid-market organisations with AI or data systems live in production – whether we built them or someone else did. Two tiers: Foundation, business-hours monitoring of a small model estate with a monthly assurance pack, and Managed, extended cover with a defined incident SLA, a monthly retrain cadence, and the committed evolve block.

Timeline

Engagement Model
Audit, then retainer
The Outcome

Your AI stays accurate, governed and provably in control – continuity and accountability, evidenced monthly, instead of an incident explained after the fact.

The Problem

You need 24/7 intelligent automation that traditional software can't deliver, and hiring in-house AI expertise is costly and complex.

The Challenge
  • Your functions need intelligence beyond traditional automation
  • Round-the-clock operations require consistency without human oversight
  • AI agent development and maintenance need specialised skills
  • Integrating with your existing systems is complex and time-consuming
  • Performance optimisation requires ongoing attention
The Why

AI agents run business functions autonomously, deliver consistent performance, and free your team for strategic, creative, relationship-focused work.

Why It Matters
  • Operate 24/7 without constant human intervention
  • Scale operations without scaling headcount
  • Consistency improves service quality and satisfaction
  • Reallocate talent to innovation and growth
What You Get (Deliverables)

// FAQ

Managed ModelOps,
answered.

The questions leaders ask when they are weighing up who runs a live AI system. Direct answers, no hedging. Open one to read in full.

They can keep it up. The harder question is whether they can tell you the day the model starts getting less accurate, and prove to your auditor that it is behaving. Diagnosing drift is a specialist, part-time need – awkward to hire for, wasteful to keep on a bench. Managed ModelOps is that skill on tap, with the evidence produced monthly.

Keep them. They watch the infrastructure – uptime, pipelines, cost. We watch the model itself: accuracy, drift, evals, and guardrails, the layer that degrades invisibly while the dashboards stay green. The two services sit alongside each other, and ours is the one a hosting provider cannot credibly offer.

A model that is working today is quietly becoming a different model as the world moves underneath it. Nothing crashes. By the time degradation shows up in the business, it has already cost you – in bad decisions, complaints, or a regulator’s question. The retainer is the difference between catching drift early and explaining an incident afterwards.

Fixing issues as they arise means paying after the damage is done, at incident prices. The retainer also carries its own offset: inference and compute spend drifts upward when nobody owns it as a discipline, and the FinOps work inside the service claws a good share of that back. The engagement starts with a fixed-fee audit rather than a long commitment, so you see the run-readiness picture and the running costs before anything ongoing is signed.

Yes – that is exactly what the Onboarding & Assurance Audit is for. Over two to three weeks we map the stack, deploy and tune model monitoring in your own environment, and set the SLA baseline. We learn to run the system before either side commits to the retainer, and part of the audit fee is credited when you convert.
