Engagement options
Discovery and advisory create the evidence for a platform or governance decision. Selection and sourcing follow only when justified; resale occurs only where authorization is documented. FDE carries approved choices into integration, migration, build, adoption, optimization, and support.
Verify the decision, use cases, estate, constraints, and owners.
Define target capabilities, options, evidence, and tradeoffs.
Choose through diligence; resale only where authorized.
Integrate, migrate, build, govern, test, and transfer.
Measure quality, cost, risk, adoption, and value.
Discovery and advisory entry
A bounded engagement for use cases, model access, knowledge and retrieval, agents, evaluation, safety, adoption, and cost.
A bounded engagement for lakehouse or warehouse, integration, streaming, catalog and lineage, quality, security, semantics, data products, and FinOps.
Use this as the primary track when ownership, approvals, controls, evidence, monitoring, or assurance is the material decision.
Governance & Assurance packages
These packages remain available as a focused governance track and as proportionate control-layer modules inside AI or Data work.
Make the priority portfolio visible and decide what must happen next.
Define the lifecycle, decisions, controls, and evidence the organization will own.
Activate the governance loop for one bounded portfolio or cohort.
Maintain the review rhythm while client owners retain accountability.
Select and source
Existing agreements, architecture, identity, data boundaries, portability, security, evidence, operating ownership, adoption, and total cost shape the shortlist. Representative technologies are reference options—not partners, endorsements, certifications, implementation-experience claims, or required products.
Platform selection and sourcing is available. Resale, procurement routing, pricing rights, or partner benefits are discussed only where current authorization is documented.
Implementation handoff
A decision brief becomes an implementation backlog, architecture and decision records, access plan, acceptance evidence, adoption plan, and operating handoff. FDE can cover integration, migration, application or data-product build, validation, adoption, optimization, and ongoing support within a separately agreed scope.
Commercial guardrails
Name workloads, systems, uses, data, jurisdictions, vendors, environments, and exclusions.
Client owners retain business, risk, legal, security, privacy, procurement, and deployment decisions.
Recommendations and controls link to current evidence. A product field or policy alone does not prove effectiveness.
New autonomy, data, vendors, jurisdictions, integrations, economics, or obligations trigger review.
Packages and sprint descriptions are planning ranges—not guarantees of compliance, certification, regulatory approval, model behavior, risk reduction, cost savings, or business outcome. Final scope, fees, acceptance, and review responsibilities belong in an executed agreement.
Selection rule
Choose AI when adoption and AI-platform capability are central. Choose Data when the estate, movement, quality, or product layer is central. Choose Governance when accountability and assurance are the decision. Combine them when the boundaries are inseparable.
