What we build

Three service lines.

01
Agent implementation

A production workflow your team can own

We scope the use case, build the agent and integrations, establish the approval and evaluation policy, deploy it in the right environment, and train the team that will run it.

See the delivery path →
02
Custom models

A model built for the proven workflow

We train on the approved documents and operational data, deliver the weights under the engagement terms, and host the model in Calgary or deploy it inside your infrastructure.

Explore custom models →
03
Expert bench

Experts who capture the missing judgment

We recruit and place petroleum specialists to capture the judgment your model is missing, as structured training data you own outright.

See how the bench works →
Data recruiting

The knowledge is in your people. Payroll is not a dataset.

A general model cannot run your completions program because nobody ever wrote the reasoning down. It lives with a supervisor who has watched four hundred stages, an accountant who spots a bad allocation in three seconds, a toolpush eighteen months from retirement. We recruit those specialists, ours or yours, and put them to work turning that judgment into structured, licensed training data for your own model.

Corpus you own
Every graded case compounds. The bench builds an asset that stays with you.
01

Scope the skill

We start where your agents fail. One workflow, a written definition of expert output, and an evaluation set before a single hour is billed.

02

Recruit the bench

Specialists screened on real tasks from your operation, not résumés. Your own retiring staff can sit on the bench and be paid for what they are about to take with them.

03

Capture and grade

Experts work real cases in a harness that records the decision, the reasoning, and the options they rejected. Every record reviewed by a second expert.

04

Train and re-test

The corpus goes into your finetune and the model is scored against a held-out set the experts built. If it does not beat the baseline, back to the bench.

Specialists are screened on real tasks from your operation. Rates are set per engagement and quoted before the bench is assembled.

Exclusive license

The corpus your experts build is licensed to you alone. We do not resell it, and it never trains another operator's model.

Your confidentiality terms

Every contributor signs under your agreements before they see a case, and works inside your environment where the data requires it.

Traceable to a person

Each record carries who produced it, who reviewed it, and when. When a regulator asks where the judgment came from, there is an answer.

How we deliver

Four phases to production.

WK 0·2

Scope

Two weeks to map the workflow, source systems, risk, and deployment boundary, then pick the use case worth proving first.

WK 2·5

Build

We build the agent, tools, integrations, approval gates, and evaluation set around the chosen workflow.

WK 5·9

Harden

We test the workflow with your team and build a custom model only where the approved use case justifies it.

WK 9+

Deploy

We deploy through a frontier connector, in Calgary, or inside your systems, then train the staff who will own it.

Start with a two-week scope.

Fixed price. We map the highest-value automations for your operation, and you keep the findings either way.
