Define how you intend to gauge the quality of the AI system's output. Having concrete metrics in mind enables us to align our efforts with your expectations.

Specify the amount and nature of your available data. For instance, if your task involves translation, mention the number of sentence pairs you possess. Similarly, for tasks like medical information retrieval, include details such as the quantity of medical facts and their average sentence length. Broadly stating the number of documents you possess, or the quantity of data (e.g. 30 GB worth of files) is usually not informative. If you lack specific data, let us know, and consider investing effort into preparing a small dataset for evaluating the AI solution we develop.

Consider the effectiveness of a Keep-it-simple-stupid (KISS) solution for your problem. Evaluating simpler, non-AI approaches helps establish baselines and assess the necessity of more complex solutions. For example, in specialized domains, it is common for off-the-shelf models to perform comparably to finely-tuned ones. This evaluation can save your time and resources.

Understand the implications of fine-tuning versus employing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. While RAG systems offer advanced capabilities, they often require significant engineering effort for effective deployment. Fine-tuning demands substantial data and computational resources. We will work with you to determine which is the best solution for you.

Consider the expertise required for your project. It is infeasible to expect one of our engineers to implement an AI solution you are looking for. Our specialized team comprises scientists dedicated to AI development, and product specialists focused on prototyping and integration. Leveraging diverse skill sets ensures comprehensive project execution. A technically proficient project manager will serve as the primary point of contact to ensure project alignment and progress tracking.

The clarity of your requirements significantly influences our engagement approach. Clear, well-defined requirements facilitate accurate estimation and planning, leading us to recommend a fixed-price project. In this scenario, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of costs associated with employing each engineer required for your task. Conversely, if you need consultations and iterative clarifications with our team, we will advocate for an hourly rate model.
