AI Models (SLM/LLM)

Choosing and controlling AI models with intent

Practical support for model selection, risk classification, prompt patterns and RAG design — underpinned by proportionate governance.

What we do

The rapid growth of LLMs has made model choice and usage complex and risky. We help organisations make informed decisions about which models to use, how to use them, and how to control them — aligned to data sensitivity, risk appetite and regulatory expectations.

Our work focuses on practical deployment patterns rather than experimentation for its own sake.

  • Model selection and comparative assessment
  • Risk classification and usage constraints
  • Prompt patterns and safe interaction design
  • RAG architecture considerations
  • Governance, monitoring and assurance controls
