No Snake Oil. Real AI.

We build AI systems. Every recommendation comes from something we shipped, not something we read.

AI Literacy

Your team understands what AI can and cannot do

Your team understands what AI can and cannot do for your business. Not a hype session. A grounded assessment that saves you from wasting money on the wrong tools. We train your people with role-specific workshops, hands-on exercises, and honest conversations about limitations.

What You Get

Executive briefings on AI capabilities and limitations
Role-specific training for technical and non-technical staff
Hands-on workshops with real AI tools
Vendor evaluation frameworks
AI policy and responsible use guidelines

You Will Hate This If

You want a motivational keynote about the future of AI
You are looking for someone to validate a decision you already made
You want your team excited, not informed

AI Implementation

A production AI system that solves a specific business problem and that you can see into completely. Not a demo. Not a proof of concept that never ships. From assessment to production deployment, we build AI systems that work. Citadel deploys on your infrastructure so you own the observability layer.

What You Get

A production AI system solving a defined business problem
Citadel on your infrastructure: every request, every cost, every provider visible to you
An honest assessment before we start. If AI is not the right tool, we tell you. That is also an outcome.
RAG pipelines and retrieval systems
Testing and validation frameworks

You Will Hate This If

You want us to "add AI" to your product without a clear use case
You think ChatGPT is a business strategy
You want a chatbot for your landing page

Data Analytics Using AI

Decisions that change based on what your data actually says, not what your gut tells you. Predictive analytics, segmentation, and dashboards built from real operational data. The outcome is not a report. The outcome is a decision you make differently because of what we found.

What You Get

Pattern recognition and anomaly detection
Automated reporting and summaries
Predictive analytics and forecasting
Natural language data querying
Custom dashboards and visualizations

You Will Hate This If

You do not have data yet
You want a dashboard that looks impressive but does not drive decisions

analytics-query.sql

-- AI-powered anomaly detection
SELECT
  department,
  month,
  spend,
  ai_anomaly_score(spend, 0.95) AS score,
  ai_explain(spend_delta)      AS reason
FROM monthly_costs
WHERE ai_anomaly_score(spend, 0.95) > 0.8
ORDER BY score DESC;

-- Result:
-- engineering | 2024-03 | $42,100
-- score: 0.94
-- reason: "GPU cluster autoscaled 3x
--   during model retraining window"

Citadel Deployment

Your AI proxy, on your infrastructure

Complete visibility and control over your AI spend across every provider, every team, and every project. No more surprise bills. No more wondering who is using what. We deploy Citadel on your infrastructure as a standalone engagement. It sits between your systems and every AI provider. Your data never leaves your environment. Citadel is not a subscription. It is not a SaaS product. It is infrastructure we deploy on your account. You own it.

What You Get

Self-hosted proxy for all AI providers
Cost tracking per team, project, and model
Usage analytics and consumption trends
Budget enforcement and policy controls
Full audit trail on your infrastructure

You Will Hate This If

You want a managed SaaS dashboard
You are not ready to own your own infrastructure

Ready for an honest assessment?

Tell us about your business and we will tell you what AI can actually do for you. If the answer is "not much right now," we will say that too.
