Questions American buyers ask
- Who's the best AI services provider for American teams?
- Define "best" the way buyers do: ships in 4–10 weeks, fixed-scope contract, code in your repo, eval harness and observability included. We meet that bar; most American agencies and Big-4 consultancies do not at our price point.
- Are you the best data scientist for hire in US?
- For "best" measured as production-grade engineering with reproducible pipelines, model cards, and decision-grade reports — yes. For "best" measured as PhD pedigree and academic publication count, hire someone else.
- Are you a full-stack Python programmer too?
- Yes. Python (FastAPI/Flask) backends with React + TypeScript frontends, deployed end-to-end. We've shipped multi-tenant SaaS, data pipelines processing 10M+ records daily, and ML APIs handling 500+ inferences/minute.
- What about regulatory compliance in the United States?
- We work to HIPAA (healthcare PHI), SOC 2 Type II readiness for SaaS clients, CCPA / state privacy regimes, ITAR / EAR considerations only when applicable. Where audited compliance certifications are required, we partner with the right specialist firm and ship code that meets the technical controls.
