Architectural Intelligence

The AI development practice focuses on three core pillars designed to integrate seamlessly into high-end enterprise workflows.

Sleek server rack interface illuminated by soft LED status lights representing high-end data infrastructure

Autonomous Agents

Custom multi-agent systems designed to handle complex, multi-step reasoning tasks, accelerating architectural drafting and research.

RAG Architecture

Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems that securely index and query proprietary firm data.

Integration

Enterprise LLM Deployment

Orange County Design integrates top-tier foundational models — OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source — directly into existing software stacks, ensuring security, compliance, and zero latency.

Production-grade AI

Most AI projects stop at the demo.

The model works on five test prompts. The founder is impressed. The team builds a Slack thread of more prompts that worked. The build never ships — because nobody addressed the boring parts: how the data gets in, how the model gets evaluated, what happens when the API rate-limits, how cost scales when ten users become a thousand.

Orange County Design takes AI past the demo. Into the codebase. Into the workflow. Into the bill it generates and the time it saves.

Custom AI Agents

Claude, GPT, open-source models. Single-turn or multi-step. Tool-using. Memory-aware.

RAG Pipelines

Proper chunking, hybrid retrieval, retrieval evaluation. Not a vanilla embeddings demo.

LLM Integration

Slack bots, internal copilots, customer-facing assistants, and automated processing pipelines wired to existing infrastructure.

Evals + Observability

The part most teams skip and regret. Production AI without evals is a coin flip. Every deployment ships with documented evaluation criteria.

Cost Optimization

Prompt caching and model routing. Same output, lower spend. Often cuts costs 60–80% on production workloads.

How it works

From concept to production.

  1. 01
    Discovery + Scoping
    A two-week paid engagement — credited toward the build — that produces a written specification, milestone plan, and fixed-bid quote. Priced at $2,500.
  2. 02
    Specification
    Architecture and tech-stack recommendation, data pipeline design, and evaluation criteria — all documented before a line of code is written.
  3. 03
    Build
    Production engineering: data pipeline, evals, cost monitoring, deployment, and handoff. Custom AI builds start at $50,000 — the minimum that buys real production engineering.
  4. 04
    Launch + Handoff
    Every deployment ships with token usage dashboards, cost alerts, and documentation the next engineer can read without a video walkthrough.

Get started

Two ways to engage.

Every custom AI build begins with Discovery + Scoping. Advisory blocks cover architecture reviews, technical planning, and AI strategy without committing to a full build.

AI Discovery + Scoping

Starting at $2,500

Two-week paid discovery that produces a written specification, milestone plan, and fixed-bid quote. Credited toward the full build.

Advisory Block — 4 hours

$1,000

Four hours of senior advisory time, bookable in 30-minute increments over 60 days. Architecture, AI strategy, technical planning, or troubleshooting.

Advisory Session, 1 hour

$295

For advisory sessions and time-boxed consulting, the rate is $225/hr. Longer engagements are fixed-fee or weekly-billed, never hourly.
