- Why do SaaS companies need AI foundations before shipping AI features?
- Without foundational patterns for evaluation, tenant isolation, cost control, and observability, product-level AI features regress silently, leak cost across tenants, and fail during customer-visible incidents. Building the foundation first means every subsequent feature inherits governance rather than reinventing it.
- Can Architech work alongside our internal AI team?
- Yes. Architech's engagements are structured around embedded delivery - the internal team owns the platform after handoff. Governance, architecture, and evaluation patterns are transferred, not held.
- What is the fastest a technology operator can ship a governed AI feature to customers?
- The AI Foundations Sprint plus a Proof of Value typically brings the first governed AI feature into production in 6 to 9 weeks - foundations set in the first two to three weeks, feature build and evaluation in the following four to six.
