The problem

The gap between working demo and production AI is where money disappears.

Most enterprise AI projects fail at the handoff. The proof-of-concept demos cleanly on the team laptop. Six months later, the production version is four engineers, two vendor contracts, and a quarterly roadmap miss behind schedule.

We have shipped enough production AI systems to know which specific architectural decisions cost you the quarter. An architecture review surfaces them before you commit to the spend.

“85% of enterprise AI pilots stall before production.”

Gartner, 2024

Engagement models

Three ways to work with us. Start small. Scale when the value is obvious.

  • 01

    Architecture review

    90 minutes · written findings in 1 week

    You bring the architecture, the constraints, and the three hardest questions. We bring the checklist we wish every enterprise AI team had. Outcome: a written findings doc with specific, ranked recommendations. No slides.

  • 02

    Implementation partnership

    6–14 weeks · embedded engagement

    We ship a production AI system alongside your team. Nuviax engineers embed with your team, code lives in your repos, runbooks handed off at exit. Architecture reviews bundled in.

  • 03

    Strategy retainer

    Ongoing · 4–8 hours per month

    Fractional advisory for CTOs and heads of AI. Vendor evaluation, quarterly roadmap review, on-call for architecture calls. For organizations shipping multiple AI initiatives in parallel.

Deliverables

Artifacts your team can operate, audit, and defend.

Every engagement leaves written deliverables. Not PDFs of slide decks. Actual docs, diagrams, and code your team reads and edits.

  • Architecture diagram - the version that survives your board meeting
  • Risk register - ranked by likelihood · impact, with specific mitigations
  • Roadmap - 90 / 180 / 365 days, with dependency graph
  • Handoff runbook - so your ops team can operate what we shipped
  • Code - when the engagement involves building, in your repos under your review

Approach

We are product-opinionated but vendor-agnostic.

Nuviax ships AI Gateway, Guardrails, Intelligence Fabric, AI for BA, and RFP AI Solution. We use them with our consulting clients when the fit is real, and we say so when it is not. You will not be pushed into a product you do not need.

What you will get: recommendations based on what we have actually seen ship. If we suggest a vendor, it is because we have evaluated them. If we suggest a build, it is because the buy options genuinely do not fit your constraints.

The review pays for itself if it catches one bad architectural decision.

Most do. Start with the architecture review - 90 minutes, written findings within a week, no obligation to continue.
