How it works

From briefing to governed AI operation.

Every engagement starts with a fixed-scope pilot. Most deployments follow a 2–4 month path from discovery to production.

1

Briefing

1–2 weeks

We learn about your environment, security requirements, and what your team needs AI to do. You receive briefing materials covering capabilities, evidence model, security approach, and engagement structure.

Owner: MLNavigatorDeliverable: Briefing materials + scoping questionnaire
2

Scope and controls

2–4 weeks

Together we define the pilot workflow, data sources, operating policies, and security boundaries. Your team reviews and approves the plan before anything is installed.

Owner: JointDeliverable: Deployment plan + policy documentation
3

Install

2–4 weeks

We procure, configure, and install the hardware inside your facility. Your data sources are prepared for local use. The system comes online according to the approved plan.

Owner: MLNavigatorDeliverable: Installed system + configuration records
4

Validate

1–2 weeks

Your team tests the system against the agreed plan. We walk through operations, review evidence artifacts, and confirm the system meets your requirements before production.

Owner: JointDeliverable: Validation report + production approval
5

Operate

Ongoing

Your team uses the system day-to-day. Every operation produces reviewable evidence. We provide maintenance, controlled updates, and support. All changes follow your approved review process.

What we need from your team

  • IT contact for network, physical access, and infrastructure coordination
  • Security review of the deployment plan and operating policies
  • Facility requirements approval (space, power, network)
  • Policy sign-off before system activation

Start with a briefing

The briefing covers capabilities, evidence model, security approach, engagement structure, and next steps.
