Harness Engineering.
Where personal AI becomes production AI.
Deployment is where enterprise AI succeeds or fails. Altilia's harness engineers work inside your organisation, in every industry, to build ethical, aligned and compliant models and agents, automate even your most complex business processes on your infrastructure, and hand you the keys.
A model is only as trustworthy as the harness around it.
The ontology that bounds what it can say, the evaluations that measure it, the governance that controls it and the integrations that put it to work. Harness engineering is the discipline of building that scaffolding. It is what we deliver as a service.
Data harness
Ontologies written with your experts, curated and versioned datasets, gold-standard samples, provenance for every value.
Evaluation harness
Accuracy audited on your documents, regression suites for every model version, bias and robustness checks, confidence thresholds tuned to your risk.
Governance harness
Zero-trust permissions, decision logs, human review points, EU AI Act risk classification, model cards and the evidence auditors ask for.
Integration harness
Connectors, REST APIs, MCP servers and OpenAI-compatible endpoints; federation with the AI platforms and core systems you already run.
A deployment pod, embedded with your team.
Four roles that sit with you, on site, until the harness is yours.
Harness engineer
Builds ontologies, datasets, trained models, agents and integrations inside your stack. Works on site to solve data access, governance and performance issues during implementation.
Transformation strategist
Defines use cases, metrics and the business case with you. Drives adoption across the organisation and builds the roadmap from the first process onward.
Compliance lead
Classifies risk under the EU AI Act, designs decision logs and model cards, aligns the harness with DORA, GDPR and NIS2, and prepares the evidence your auditors and supervisors will ask for.
R&D engineer
Brings Altilia R&D engineers to the hardest problems: complex layouts, handwriting, multimodal extraction, reasoning over ontologies and the evaluation of trained models.
From Altilia-led to full client ownership, by design.
Value is real before you scale, and everything built along the way, ontologies, models and agents, is transferred as your intellectual property.
Discover and align
Workshops on values, policies and risk appetite. Process and data discovery. The use case worth building first, with its success metrics and business case.
Build the harness, ship the pilot
Ontology and dataset, trained or fine-tuned model, agents and integrations, evaluation suite and governance. A production pilot measured with your own methodology, in weeks.
Scale and hand over
More processes on the same OS. Your team trained in the no-code and low-code environment. Models and ontologies transferred as your property, with managed operations if you want them.
Services, end to end.
Everything an organisation needs to go from a generic model to a personal, compliant, production-grade one.
Ethical alignment and compliance
Values and policy workshops, EU AI Act risk classification, model cards, bias and robustness evaluation, DORA, GDPR and NIS2 alignment, audit evidence.
Model personalisation
Ontology design, dataset generation and curation, training of small models, fine-tuning of large ones, evaluation on your documents.
Agent engineering
Agents and multi-agent systems for your most complex processes: onboarding, due diligence, claims, regulation, procurement, with human review where risk lives.
Integration and interoperability
Connectors to core systems, REST APIs and MCP servers, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, federation with the AI platforms you already use.
Managed operations
AIOps, monitoring, model lifecycle maintenance, retraining from human corrections, capacity scaling, on any deployment model.
Enablement and knowledge transfer
Training for your experts in the no-code and low-code environment, playbooks, and a handover that leaves you owning and operating the harness.
Deploy anywhere.
Every deployment model, matched to your infrastructure and compliance needs, from one codebase.
SaaS
Continuous updates, monitored by Altilia, with logical isolation and autoscaling.
Private cloud
Dedicated, fully isolated infrastructure in the EU, with custom configuration and controlled upgrade timing.
On-premises, air-gapped
Zero external dependencies and local model serving, with on-site maintenance by our engineers.
Hybrid and federated
Sensitive workloads inside your perimeter, the rest wherever it fits, federated with the AI platforms you already run.
Every industry, the same discipline.
The harness changes with the documents and the regulation; the method does not. Twenty enterprises run it in production, from Tier-1 banks to national registries.
Start with one process. Own the harness.
Tell us which process is expensive, document-heavy and measurable. A harness engineer and a transformation strategist will scope it with you within one business day.
“Their AI agents work with our own data in a private infrastructure, delivering accuracy and control that no generic AI solution could match.”
