Five things I get hired to do
Consultants list capabilities. Buyers have problems. These pages are organised by the problem you arrived with, and each one contains the actual method — including the checklist or spec I would hand you — so you can judge whether it is worth paying me or just do it yourself.
Reliability· 5 phases
Agent eval suites
Stop shipping prompt changes as unmeasured bets.
A suite your team owns that fails the build when agent quality drops.
The method, and what it costsYou have this if
- Someone changed a prompt last week and nobody can say whether it helped
- Quality discussions are arguments about anecdotes rather than numbers
- You found out about a regression from a customer, not from CI

Observability· 5 phases
LLM observability & tracing
One trace ID that explains the whole run.
Any bad run can be pulled up, replayed, and explained in minutes.
The method, and what it costsYou have this if
- A customer reports a bad answer from Tuesday and you cannot reconstruct what happened
- Debugging means grepping application logs and guessing
- You cannot say what percentage of runs fail, because failures have no categories

Cost & latency· 5 phases
LLM cost reduction
Usually 40–70% recoverable, and the levers are ranked.
A materially lower bill, with evidence that quality held.
The method, and what it costsYou have this if
- Spend multiplied with no corresponding increase in users
- You cannot say what a single conversation costs
- The provider invoice is the first place you learn about a change

Reliability· 5 phases
Multi-tenant AI isolation
A prompt is not an access-control mechanism.
Isolation that holds even when the model behaves unexpectedly.
The method, and what it costsYou have this if
- Tenant scoping is described in the system prompt
- Retrieval filters by metadata the model can influence
- A tool would happily accept a tenant ID supplied by model output

Reliability· 5 phases
Text-to-SQL reliability
The hard part is not generating SQL. It is knowing when not to run it.
Answers users trust, because every number traces back to a query they can inspect.
The method, and what it costsYou have this if
- It answers confidently and is sometimes quietly wrong
- Nobody can tell whether a wrong answer came from retrieval or generation
- The whole schema is pasted into the prompt
