    Our Expertise

    AI & Machine Learning Consultancy

    End-to-end AI and ML solutions from data engineering to production deployment. We build custom models that solve real business problems and deliver measurable ROI.

    Scalexa is an AI and machine learning consultancy for CTOs and founders whose platforms can't afford to get AI wrong. If you are being asked to put a large language model in front of customers, automate a process that touches money or regulated data, or turn a promising prototype into something your operations team can rely on, this page is for you.

    What we do

    The problem is rarely the model. It is the data feeding it, the evaluation that should catch its mistakes, the infrastructure that serves it at a sensible cost, and the people who will be paged when it misbehaves. Most AI projects stall in the gap between a convincing demo and a production system.

    We cover the full path from idea to monitored production system. Most engagements combine two or three of these.

    • LLM applications and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)

      We build assistants, search and document workflows on top of commercial and open models, grounded in your own data with retrieval. We design the chunking, indexing and prompt layer so answers are traceable to sources, and we put guardrails around anything a customer sees.

    • MLOps and production deployment

      We take models out of notebooks and into versioned, monitored services with experiment tracking, a model registry and repeatable pipelines. Every training run is reproducible, every deployment can be rolled back, and drift is caught by alerts rather than by customers.

    • Computer vision

      We build detection, tracking and document-reading systems that run on real-world images and video, not curated samples. Our work includes aerial roof-damage detection for NavGen and object tracking and blurring for law-enforcement video.

    • AI automation of business processes

      We automate high-volume, error-prone work such as invoice reconciliation, candidate data intake and customer sentiment monitoring. The goal is fewer manual hours with a clear audit trail, not a black box your team has to babysit.

    • Model evaluation and independent audit

      Before you trust a model, someone should try to break it. We design evaluation sets, measure accuracy against the cases that matter to your business, and provide independent technical audits, as we did for QOVES's NLP ingredient-classification system.

    • AI strategy and roadmaps

      For leadership teams deciding where AI should and shouldn't go, we produce a grounded roadmap: which use cases are worth building, what data is missing, what it will cost to run, and what to do first. It is written by engineers who will be accountable for delivering it.

    Our Process

    How we work

    1. 1. Free 30-minute call

      We ask about the AI use case, the available data, the stakes and the deadline, and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

    2. 2. Scoped proposal

      Following the free 30-minute call, we outline the priorities, proposed work and delivery approach in a scoped proposal grounded in your data and systems.

    3. 3. Delivery

      The scoped work moves into accountable delivery. You get weekly billing on actual hours, a weekly summary of what was done, and code in your own Git organisation from day one.

    4. 4. Handover or ongoing support

      Every engagement ends with documentation, runbooks and a recorded walkthrough. If you want ongoing support, we move to AI operations with agreed quality and cost measures.

    Engagement models

    • Defined AI outcome

      A focused engagement with a clear end: readiness, evaluation, a production use case or a technical review.

    • Embedded AI delivery

      We work in your repositories and delivery process and take ownership of a defined part of the AI roadmap. You can scale up, scale down or stop at any point, with no long notice periods.

    • AI operations

      We monitor and improve the AI system week by week: quality, drift, cost, reliability and controlled model changes, with clear reporting and ownership.

    A proof of concept typically takes 2–4 weeks and a production MVP with monitoring 8–12 weeks, depending heavily on how ready your data is.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    On the free 30-minute call we ask what data you actually have, and the scoped proposal that follows sets out its quality and coverage and whether it supports the decision you want AI to improve. If the data is not ready, we say so before any build work starts rather than after a failed prototype.

    We are model-agnostic and choose based on evidence from the prototype stage: LLMs suit language-heavy, loosely structured tasks such as chat and document understanding, while classical ML and deep learning often perform better, faster and more cheaply on structured prediction, forecasting and computer vision problems.

    We test the approach against representative data and define the evidence required for production: accuracy, latency, operating cost and failure modes. A system only moves to production once it has a production recommendation backed by that evaluation.

    We instrument production systems for quality, drift, latency and cost, then use that evidence to drive improvements rather than letting the model degrade unnoticed. Monitoring, guardrails and cost controls are designed in from the start.

    We work inside your own repositories and cloud accounts with least-privilege access, follow your security policies, and sign an NDA on request.
