Advisory without accountability
The consultant hands over a deck and leaves before anyone finds out if the recommendation actually worked.
Skowak works inside your team until it's real.
A monthly embedded engagement, minimum three months, in which Skowak designs, builds, instruments, and proves a production AI system, then transfers ownership. Not advisory: Skowak writes the code and owns delivery of the thing.
Forward-Deployed Design Engineering
Monthly · minimum 3 months
Skowak works inside your team. The system gets designed, built, instrumented, and proved, and Skowak stays until it's in production, your people can maintain it, and there's a plan for what happens next.
This is not advisory. Skowak writes code, reviews your team's code, and owns delivery of the thing. The engagement includes building, evaluating, iterating, and the "Prove" deliverables: performance dashboards, retrospective reviews, and a scale-up roadmap.
What you get
- A production AI system, built end to end
- Evaluation harnesses, the continuous instrument panel, not a one-time test
- Performance dashboard tracking accuracy, reliability, adoption, and business impact
- Interface and workflow design, because a system nobody uses isn't in production
- Monthly retrospectives: what shipped, what the evals show, what needs to change
- Team upskilling throughout, not just a handoff at the end, your engineers build the system alongside us so the competency transfers with it
- Scale-up roadmap and ownership transfer in the final month
Month-to-month after the initial three months. If the evaluation dashboard shows the work isn't producing results, you stop. No lock-in beyond the minimum needed to build something real.
Why embedded delivery usually doesn't finish.
Ownership never transfers
The system ships, but stays quietly dependent on the vendor indefinitely, nobody budgeted time to actually hand it off.
No instrument panel
Nobody can say whether the system is working, only whether it shipped. "It's live" and "it's working" get treated as the same claim.
What you walk away with.
A system your team can run alone
Production software, in your repository, that your engineers can maintain without Skowak in the room.
A monthly number that moves
The retrospective reports on accuracy, reliability, and adoption, not sprint velocity dressed up as progress.
A clean exit
Ownership transfers in the final month on purpose, with a scale-up roadmap, not a permanent vendor relationship by default.
A multi-year embedded transformation.
Fidelity Life
Built, instrumented, and proved over a multi-year engagement
Skowak modelled the rule system, separated genuine underwriting judgment from deterministic decisions being done by hand, and built the production systems, case management, product configuration, approval routing, that carried a multi-year transformation.
- Application cycles – 2–4 days down to 20–30 minutes
- Product setup – effort reduced by roughly 65%
- Scope – a multi-year embedded engagement, not a one-off project
