How is an engagement typically structured?

We start with a discovery and strategy phase, move into design and prototyping, and can conclude with technology build or agile team deployment. The structure is tailored to your specific problem.

Can you just build an MVP for us?

Yes, we offer focused MVP builds. However, our core value is ensuring the 'what' and 'why' are validated through strategy and design before writing code, which de-risks the investment.

Do you provide ongoing maintenance for digital products you build?

Our primary focus is on innovation and launch. For long-term maintenance, we can either transition knowledge to your internal team or help establish a dedicated agile team for ongoing support.

What is your approach to user research in regulated industries?

We employ compliant co-design methods, working directly with patients, practitioners, or advocates within regulatory frameworks to uncover genuine needs without compromising data privacy.

How do you handle project scoping and pricing?

Projects are scoped after an initial discovery conversation. We typically work on a time-and-materials or fixed-scope basis for defined phases, not large, inflexible fixed-price contracts.

PEPR '26 - CA-CI: A Normative Framework for Evaluating Privacy and Dignity in AI Governance

CA-CI: A Normative Framework for Evaluating Privacy and Dignity in AI Governance Florian Schaub, University of Michigan This talk introduces Capabilities Approach-Contextual Integrity (CA-CI), a normative framework that extends Contextual Integrity's theory of privacy to meet contemporary AI governance challenges by (1) making purpose an explicit governance parameter and (2) specifying minimum thresholds for dignity as a second normative standard, drawn from philosopher Martha Nussbaum's Capabilities Approach (CA). Drawing on the speaker's research on AI privacy perceptions and privacy theory development, the talk will apply CA-CI to AI scenarios and show how privacy practitioners can incorporate its criteria into impact assessments, risk registers, and approval workflows, even as AI capabilities, regulations, and social norms evolve.

Alex Karp: AI Models Are Stealing Your Data & The AI Safety Truth | CNBC Full Interview

Palantir CEO Alex Karp delivers a critical breakdown on CNBC regarding the hidden dangers of modern artificial intelligence, exposing how enterprise companies are risking their most valuable intellectual property. Many commercial organizations using closed artificial intelligence models are unknowingly surrendering their proprietary data and strategic market alpha. This exclusive interview highlights why major institutions are growing angry over model providers absorbing unique corporate trade secrets, driving a massive industry shift toward sovereign artificial intelligence infrastructure and open weight options. Beyond corporate privacy risks, the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence raises intense questions regarding civil liability, government nationalization, and global security. Frontier model developers face unprecedented financial risks if systems cause widespread societal harm, pushing experts to predict eventual government intervention or nationalization. At the same time, real world applications across defense operations and battlefield military strategy highlight the urgent technical race between the United States and global competitors for complete technological dominance. Understanding the distinct difference between raw foundational models and the underlying application layer is essential for any modern organization. By maintaining complete data control and deploying specialized software architectures, businesses can leverage cutting edge artificial intelligence without sacrificing their security or autonomy. As regulatory pressures intensify and market dynamics evolve, navigating this rapidly expanding digital landscape requires a clear grasp of data ownership, risk management, and strategic innovation.
