Battle-Tested
Decades of experience delivering complex projects for Australian federal, state, and local governments. We understand what it takes to ship production systems.
AI Consulting Services
Expert guidance for AI strategy, complex implementations, and rescuing projects that have lost their way.
30+ Years of Solving Hard Problems
We've been building complex software systems since 2013, but writing code for over 30 years. From government platforms serving millions to cutting-edge AI architectures, we bring deep technical expertise combined with pragmatic delivery experience.
AI-Native Thinking
As creators of the Simplex programming language and Cognitive Hive AI architecture, we don't just implement AI—we architect it from first principles.
Honest Assessment
We'll tell you what's actually wrong and what it takes to fix it. No hand-waving, no buzzwords—just clear technical analysis and actionable recommendations.

AI Strategy & Implementation
Many organisations are struggling to move beyond AI prototypes to production systems. We help you navigate the gap between demo and deployment with practical strategies grounded in real-world constraints.
Our approach focuses on sustainable AI adoption—not chasing the latest model releases, but building architectures that remain effective as the technology evolves.
- AI readiness assessment and roadmap development
- Architecture design for LLM integration (RAG, fine-tuning, agents)
- Model selection and vendor evaluation (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models)
- Cost optimisation strategies (CHAI architecture can reduce costs by 96%)
- Data pipeline design for training and inference
- Security and compliance frameworks for AI systems
- Team training and capability building
Rescue Service
Agentic AI & Orchestration Recovery
The industry is littered with failed Agentic AI projects. Complex orchestration systems that seemed promising in demos but fell apart in production. Multi-agent frameworks that can't reliably complete simple tasks. RAG pipelines returning irrelevant results.
We specialise in diagnosing what went wrong and charting a path forward—whether that means fixing the existing system or recommending a more appropriate architecture.
Common Problems We Solve
Orchestration Chaos
Multi-agent systems that can't coordinate effectively. Loops, deadlocks, and cascading failures. We untangle the complexity and establish reliable patterns.
Reliability Failures
Systems that work 70% of the time but fail unpredictably. We implement proper error handling, fallbacks, and supervision trees for production-grade reliability.
Cost Explosions
API costs spiralling out of control from inefficient prompting, unnecessary calls, or poor caching. We optimise token usage and implement cost-effective alternatives.
Context Window Issues
RAG systems returning irrelevant chunks. Agents losing track of conversation history. We redesign retrieval strategies and context management.
The Orchestration Fallacy: Many projects fail because they treat AI agents like microservices—reliable, deterministic components. But LLMs are probabilistic. Success requires architectures that embrace uncertainty rather than fighting it.
Service Area
Complex Technology Implementations
Beyond AI, we have deep expertise in complex distributed systems, enterprise integrations, and challenging technical projects that other consultancies shy away from.
If your project involves multiple moving parts, legacy system integration, or technology that doesn't have a simple tutorial, we can help.
- Distributed systems architecture (actor models, event sourcing, CQRS)
- Enterprise system integration (CRM, ERP, legacy modernisation)
- Government platform development (GovCMS, accessibility, compliance)
- High-performance computing and real-time systems
- Cloud architecture and migration (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- DevOps transformation and CI/CD implementation
- Technical debt remediation and codebase rescue
