1. Applied AI Philosophy: Bounded, Auditable & Verifiable
Generative AI is transforming enterprise software, but ungrounded language models hallucinate and fail silently in regulated environments. Our approach to applied AI engineering rests on three core pillars:
- Strict Schema Enforcement: Every LLM output is forced through strongly-typed Pydantic or Zod validation schemas. If a response does not match the exact JSON schema, it is rejected and retried with targeted error feedback.
- Zero Ungrounded Synthesis: In Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), models are prohibited from answering questions outside the verified embedding chunk boundaries, with mandatory citation attribution to exact document paragraphs.
- Deterministic Human-in-the-Loop Queues: Documents with low OCR confidence scores or ambiguous handwriting are routed to dedicated human verification queues before hitting core database ledgers.
2. Concrete Production Pipelines & Implementations
Hospital counters receive physical paper bills, pharmacy dispensing receipts, and diagnostic lab reports with varying formats, stamps, and signatures. This pipeline converts raw PDF/image scans into database-ready relational records.
Verification Mechanism: Mathematical reconciliation (unit price × quantity == total bill amount), OCR token confidence scoring, and cryptographic hashing of source pages.
Enables operations leads and clinical staff to query hundreds of pages of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), government health guidelines, and clinical dosage protocols instantly with verified page citations.
Verification Mechanism: Hybrid vector search + BM25 keyword re-ranking, cosine distance thresholds, and automated citation matching checking that output statements exist verbatim in source chunks.
State health departments and regulatory agencies frequently mandate reporting formats in legacy Excel or XML structures that differ entirely from transactional application schemas.
Verification Mechanism: Automated schema validation (XSD / JSON Schema), column checksums, and row-count reconciliation against source database tables.
3. Local vs Cloud Model Deployments
Depending on regulatory and security constraints, we engineer AI systems for either zero-data-retention cloud APIs or air-gapped on-premises GPU infrastructure:
- Cloud Enterprise APIs: Utilizing Claude (Anthropic) and OpenAI with Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) agreements and strict enterprise encryption.
- Local & Hybrid Inference: Deploying open weights (such as Llama, Qwen, or Mistral) on self-hosted Linux GPU servers (via vLLM / Ollama) for clients with strict data sovereignty mandates.
