Design the Operating Layer Your Agents Actually Need
Not a vendor. A practitioner.
For companies building internal agent systems that need architectural guidance: domain decomposition, governance frameworks, autonomy classification, and the infrastructure decisions that determine whether your agents scale or stall. We work alongside your engineering team, not instead of it.
What We Consult On
Every topic is grounded in production deployments. We have built, broken, and rebuilt these patterns. The guidance comes from experience, not theory.
Agent Strategy
Where should agents operate in your organization? Which processes are candidates for full autonomy? Which require human oversight? Strategy grounded in production patterns, not vendor documentation.
Domain Decomposition
Breaking your operations into bounded domains with clear ownership, inputs, outputs, and agent classification. The architectural foundation that prevents the 'one agent that does everything' failure mode.
Governance Framework
What agents can do autonomously, what requires human approval, and how escalation works. Built for EU AI Act compliance from day one. Not retrofitted.
Framework Selection
Vendor-neutral guidance on orchestration platforms, model selection, memory architectures, and tooling. Based on production patterns across multiple deployments, not marketing materials.
Team Structure
How to staff for agent operations. Roles, responsibilities, hiring profiles, and the agent-human collaboration model. What your engineering team needs to own, and what agents handle.
Security + Compliance
Agent infrastructure security patterns: credential management, data classification, access control, audit logging, and incident response. European regulatory requirements integrated from the architecture layer.
Cost Architecture
Agent infrastructure cost modeling, optimization strategies, and predictability patterns. How to avoid the 'runaway API bill' problem that kills agent initiatives.
Observability Design
What to measure, how to measure it, and what the dashboards should show. Agent performance, cost per operation, decision quality, and drift detection.
How We Work Together
Architecture Workshop
1 -- 2 daysIntensive working session with your engineering and operations teams. We work through your specific architecture using the six-phase methodology. You leave with a documented architecture blueprint.
Architecture Review
1 weekWe review your existing or proposed agent architecture against production patterns. Deliverable: written assessment with specific recommendations, risk areas, and architectural debt identification.
Team Training
2 -- 4 sessionsStructured training on agent architecture patterns for your engineering team. Domain decomposition, governance design, autonomy classification, and operational patterns from production deployments.
Ongoing Advisory
Monthly retainerStanding access to an architect for design reviews, technical decisions, and architecture questions as your team builds. Not a managed service. Guidance when your team needs it.
What Consulting Is and Is Not
What this is
- Architectural guidance from a practitioner who has shipped production agent systems
- Design patterns tested across multiple enterprise deployments
- Governance frameworks built for European regulatory requirements
- Vendor-neutral infrastructure blueprints
- Knowledge transfer to your engineering team
What this is not
- Strategy decks without implementation guidance
- Vendor-affiliated platform recommendations
- Prompt engineering training
- Staff augmentation or body shopping
- A sales funnel for implementation services
What an Agent Infrastructure Blueprint Covers
The core deliverable of architecture consulting. A vendor-neutral blueprint based on production patterns.

Architecture That Scales
The infrastructure decisions you make now determine whether your agents create value or create chaos. Get them right the first time.
