AI Engineering Excellence for Growth Focused Teams

A Better Way to Approach AI Software & Application Development

Most AI initiatives struggle beyond model choice and enter the territory of the immature system that surrounds the model. Data pipelines, integration paths, governance layers, security boundaries, latency budgets, cost dynamics and user workflows all decide whether AI becomes an asset or an expensive experiment. That’s the part most AI engineering teams underestimate, and the gap we were built to solve.

At Clixlogix, we treat AI more than novelty. We design the architecture before the model, align AI to existing systems, build for observability, enforce governance, and optimize economics from day one. The result is artificial intelligence software development that behaves predictably, scales responsibly, and delivers value you can rely on.

The Four Layer AI Software & Application Development Framework

AI engineering is more than a linear checklist. It is a sequence of progressive validations that tighten risk, sharpen behaviour, and strengthen the system as it grows. Our process is built on one belief – Every AI system must prove its value, safety, and economics at every stage. This creates a delivery discipline that compresses uncertainty early and compounds reliability over time.

Where AI Delivery Falters & How We Hold It Together

SERVICE PILLAR	WHAT GENERALLY GOES WRONG	HOW WE SUPPORT	THE ECONOMICS
1. Problem Lineage	Teams target symptoms instead of real work.	We map intent, workflows and friction precisely.	Prevents misscoping and avoids building what won’t be used.
2. Behaviour Definition	Behaviour is assumed, so AI responds poorly.	We define inputs, boundaries and responses early.	Reduces rework and cuts training cycles and tuning effort.
3. Controlled Customization Logic	Roles, tools and data surfaces shift midway.	We stabilise system boundaries with all teams.	Limits integration churn and protects delivery budgets.
4. Reliable Integrations & Data Flow Stability	Advanced reasoning is attempted too soon.	We grow capability in controlled layers.	Ensures effort maps to real value and avoids wasted builds.
5. Data Accuracy & Migration Confidence	AI breaks under real volume or edge cases.	We reinforce continuity, monitoring and stability.	Reduces outages and support load and lowers long term cost.

VIEW INDUSTRIES

What Goes Into a Production of an AI System

Production AI software & application requires more than a model. It requires data infrastructure, integration layers, safety controls, and operational visibility. We design every component to work together, so your system performs under real conditions and remains maintainable as requirements evolve.

Intelligence & Data Layer

This is where your AI system ingests information, reasons through context, and generates responses. Getting these components right determines accuracy, relevance, and consistency across every interaction.

Data Ingestion & Preprocessing

These components define how your AI system ingests information, reasons through context, and generates responses. Getting them right determines accuracy, relevance, and consistency across every interaction.

Vector Storage & Retrieval

Embeddings indexed for semantic search and context aware retrieval. This is what makes RAG architectures perform at scale.

Model Selection & Orchestration

Requests route to the right model based on task, cost, and latency. You get performance without overspending on inference.

Prompt & Context Management

Templates, versioning, and injection logic that keep AI behavior consistent. Changes deploy safely with fallback options.

Guardrails & Safety Controls

Input validation and output filtering enforce behavioral boundaries. Responses stay within policy without manual review.

Feedback & Evaluation Loops

User signals flow back into quality measurement. You see what’s working and where retraining makes sense.

Monitoring & Drift Detection

Real time tracking of model performance, output quality, and data distribution shifts. You catch degradation early before users feel it.

Caching & Response Optimization

Frequently requested outputs cache intelligently to reduce latency and inference spend. Response times stay fast without redundant API calls.

Reporting &
Analytics

Dashboards that surface AI usage, accuracy trends, and cost attribution. Leadership gets visibility into what the system delivers and what it costs.

System & Operations Layer

Users, workflows, integrations, and compliance live here. These components ensure your team can manage, scale, and trust the system long after launch.

Auth & Role Management

Users authenticate securely with SSO and role based permissions. Access stays controlled as teams grow.

Admin
Dashboards

Configuration, user management, and oversight in one place. Your ops team stays in control without engineering support.

Workflows & Orchestration

Multi step processes with approvals, conditions, and human checkpoints. AI fits into how your business actually runs.

APIs & Integrations

REST and GraphQL endpoints connect to ERP, CRM, and third-party systems. Data flows where it needs to go.

Notifications & Alerts

Events and AI outputs trigger email, SMS, or in app messages. Stakeholders stay informed without polling dashboards.

File & Document Handling

PDFs, images, and structured files upload, parse, and retrieve cleanly. Document intelligence becomes part of the workflow.

Cost Metering & Billing

Usage tracking and inference attribution at the request level. You see exactly where AI spends goes.

Audit Logging & Compliance

Immutable records of inputs, outputs, and decisions. Regulatory review and internal audits become straightforward.

Multi Tenancy

Data isolation and tenant level configuration for SaaS deployments. Each customer operates in their own boundary.

Search & Filters

Structured and semantic search across records, documents, and logs. Users find what they need without scrolling through endless lists.

Localization & Personalization

Language support, regional formatting, and user specific behavior settings. Your AI adapts to how different users and markets operate.

Error Handling & Fallbacks

Graceful degradation when models timeout or return low confidence responses. Users get useful outcomes even when AI hits limits.

Why Architecture Decisions Compound

Architecture decisions made in the first few weeks shape cost structure, iteration speed, and operational burden for years. A retrieval layer that works at demo scale may collapse under production load. A prompt system without versioning becomes impossible to debug. An integration built without fallback logic fails when 3rd party APIs change.

We design for what happens after launch:

Modularity to help swap models, add data sources, or extend workflows without rewriting core logic
Observability to identify issues surface before users report them
Cost Metering for margin visibility at the request level from day one
Fallback Logics to manage graceful degradation when dependencies fail
Version Control always applicable for prompts, models, and configs roll back safely when needed

AI Platforms & Infrastructure We Work With

We build AI Powered systems across leading model providers and infrastructure platforms. Our teams select, integrate, and optimize based on your use case, cost constraints, and long term scalability. Each implementation reflects a deep understanding of how these technologies behave in production environments.

Best suited for organizations needing full control over their vector infrastructure, multi modal search applications, or projects with strict data sovereignty constraints.

Qdrant

High performance vector similarity engine optimized for filtering and onprem. deployment. We use Qdrant when retrieval must combine semantic similarity with complex metadata constraints. Best suited for applications requiring fast filtered search, resource constrained environments, or teams who prefer a lightweight alternative to heavier vector database solutions.

OpenAI Embeddings

Industry standard embedding models for converting text into dense vector representations. We deploy text-embedding-3-large for high accuracy retrieval tasks and text-embedding-3-small when cost efficiency matters more than marginal precision gains. Best suited for teams prioritizing ease of implementation and consistent quality over specialized domain performance. The pay per token pricing scales predictably with usage volume.

pgvector

PostgreSQL extension adding vector similarity search to existing relational infrastructure. We deploy pgvector when projects already use PostgreSQL and want to avoid introducing separate vector infrastructure. Supports exact and approximate nearest neighbor search. Best suited for applications where data consistency between vectors and relational records is important, or where minimizing infrastructure complexity outweighs specialized vector database features.

ML Frameworks & Model Development

Core libraries for custom model training, fine tuning, and classical ML.

PyTorch

We use PyTorch for custom model training, fine tuning foundation models, and building neural network architectures when pre trained APIs do not meet accuracy or latency requirements. We deploy trained models via TorchScript or ONNX export for production inference. Best suited for teams needing full control over model architecture, custom training loops, or specialized loss functions that hosted APIs cannot accommodate.

TensorFlow

Production grade machine learning framework with mature deployment infrastructure across platforms. We use TensorFlow when projects require deployment to mobile devices via TensorFlow Lite, browser-based inference via TensorFlow.js, or serving at scale via TensorFlow Serving. Best suited for projects targeting diverse deployment environments beyond cloud servers, teams with existing TensorFlow codebases, or applications where inference optimization directly impacts unit economics.

Hugging Face

The central hub for pretrained models, datasets, and transformer-based architectures. We use Hugging Face Transformers as the primary library for working with BERT, RoBERTa, T5, and other encoder-decoder models for classification, extraction, and generation tasks.

Builtin tools for preprocessing, feature selection, cross validation, and hyperparameter tuning cover the full model development workflow.

MLOps & Observability

Tools for experiment tracking, model monitoring, and production AI operations.

MLflow

Open source platform for managing the complete machine learning lifecycle. We use MLflow for experiment tracking, model versioning, and deployment pipeline orchestration across teams. The tracking component logs parameters, metrics, and artifacts automatically, making experiment comparison straightforward without custom infrastructure. Model Registry provides centralized storage with staging and production lifecycle stages that enforce governance before deployment.

Weights & Biases

Collaborative experiment tracking and visualization platform built for ML teams. We use Weights & Biases to monitor training runs in real-time, compare experiments across hyperparameter sweeps, and share results with stakeholders who need visibility without accessing code. The dashboard visualizes loss curves, metrics, and hardware utilization as training progresses.

LangSmith

Best suited for teams building multistep LLM applications where debugging requires visibility into intermediate steps, or projects needing systematic evaluation beyond spot checking outputs. The tight LangChain integration provides deepest tracing, though standalone usage covers most observability needs.

Tools for deploying models efficiently at scale with cost control.

vLLM

High throughput inference engine optimized for serving large language models. We deploy vLLM when inference cost and latency directly impact application economics. PagedAttention manages GPU memory efficiently, enabling higher concurrent request handling than naive implementations. Continuous batching processes incoming requests without waiting for batch completion, reducing time to first token for interactive applications.

TensorRT

NVIDIA’s inference optimization toolkit for maximizing GPU performance. We use TensorRT when inference latency or throughput requirements exceed what standard frameworks deliver. The optimizer analyzes model graphs to fuse operations, select optimal kernels, and apply precision calibration automatically.

Modal

Best suited for batch processing jobs, fine tuning runs with unpredictable schedules, or teams without dedicated MLOps capacity. The pay per second pricing makes experimentation affordable while production workloads scale automatically during traffic spikes.

Anyscale

Best suited for large scale fine tuning jobs, inference workloads exceeding single-machine capacity, or teams needing horizontal scaling without building custom distributed systems. The platform abstracts infrastructure complexity but requires Ray familiarity to leverage fully.

ONNX Runtime

Cross platform inference engine for models exported to the ONNX format. We deploy ONNX Runtime when models must run consistently across different hardware and software environments. The standardized format accepts exports from PyTorch, TensorFlow, and scikit-learn, decoupling training frameworks from deployment targets.

AI System Security & Compliance We Follow

AI systems introduce security and compliance considerations that extend beyond traditional application architecture. Data flows through model providers, prompts may contain sensitive context, outputs require validation, and audit requirements demand full traceability. We engineer systems with these realities built into the foundation, not retrofitted after launch.

How We Secure AI Systems

Security in AI projects requires discipline across the entire delivery lifecycle. These practices are standard across all engagements, regardless of scale or engagement model.

Environment Isolation - Development, staging, and production environments remain fully separated. Model API keys, credentials, and sensitive configurations never cross environment boundaries.
Data Handling Protocols- Client data used for testing, fine tuning, or evaluation follows documented handling procedures. Access is logged, retention is timebound, and deletion is verifiable.
Secure Development Standards - Code reviews include security checks for prompt construction, input handling, and output processing. Dependencies are scanned and updated on a defined cadence.
Credential Management - API keys, tokens, and secrets are stored in secure vaults with automated rotation. No credentials in code repositories, configuration files, or logs.
Access Governance - Team member access is provisioned on a need-to-know basis and revoked at engagement end. All access changes are logged and auditable.
Incident Response Readiness - Security incidents follow a defined escalation and communication protocol. Post-incident reviews identify root cause and preventive measures.

Security Architecture Pillars for Production AI Systems

Security Pillar	How We Configure It in Cloud ERPs	Business Impact
Data Protection & Privacy	PII detection and redaction before model calls, data residency controls, encryption at rest and in transit, retention policies.	Sensitive information stays within defined boundaries; regulatory exposure reduced.
Model Access & Authentication	Role based access controls, API key management, rate limiting, session handling, audit logging of all model interactions.	Clear accountability for system usage; unauthorized access prevented.
Prompt & Output Security	Input validation, prompt injection defenses, output filtering, content moderation layers, hallucination detection patterns.	System behaves predictably; harmful or inaccurate outputs caught before reaching users..
Vendor & Infrastructure Security	Secure API configurations, VPC isolation where supported, credential rotation, provider security posture assessment.	Third party risk managed; infrastructure aligned with enterprise security requirements.
Auditability & Traceability	Complete logging of prompts, responses, and system decisions; immutable audit trails; exportable compliance records.	Full visibility for internal review and regulatory examination.

FAQs

How much does it cost to build an AI powered software & application?

AI software and application development costs vary based on complexity, data readiness, and integration requirements. A focused proof of concept typically runs $15,000 to $50,000. Production MVPs with core AI features range from $50,000 to $150,000. Full production systems with custom model development, enterprise integrations, and compliance requirements can reach $150,000 to $500,000 or more. We provide detailed cost breakdowns that separate build costs from ongoing operational expenses like inference, hosting, and model maintenance.

What drives AI development project costs higher than expected?

The most common cost drivers are data preparation, integration complexity, and scope evolution. Data work alone can consume 60 to 80 percent of project effort when datasets require cleaning, labeling, or augmentation. Integration with legacy systems often reveals undocumented dependencies. Scope changes mid project, especially around model accuracy targets, add cycles. We address this through structured discovery, explicit assumptions in estimates, and milestone-based delivery that surfaces issues early.

What are the ongoing costs after an AI system goes live?

Production AI incurs recurring expenses beyond initial development. These include inference costs (API usage or compute for self-hosted models), cloud infrastructure, monitoring and observability, periodic retraining, and support. Annual maintenance typically ranges from 15 to 25 percent of the initial build cost. We design systems with cost visibility built in, so you can track spend per user, per query, or per transaction and optimize accordingly.

How long does it take to build an AI powered system?

Timelines depend on scope and starting conditions. A proof of concept with available data typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. A production MVP ranges from 3 to 5 months. Enterprise systems with compliance requirements, multiple integrations, and organizational change management can extend to 9 to 12 months. We scope in phases with defined milestones, so you have working outputs at each stage rather than waiting for a single delivery.

What is the difference between a proof of concept, MVP, and production system?

A proof of concept validates whether AI can solve the problem with your data. It tests feasibility, not usability. An MVP is a functional system with core AI features, deployed to real users for feedback. It works but may lack scale or polish. A production system is fully engineered for reliability, security, and performance under load. Most projects move through all three stages, though timelines and investment increase at each level.

Why do most AI projects fail to reach production?

Industry data suggests that 70 to 90 percent of AI initiatives stall before deployment. Common causes include unclear problem definition, insufficient data quality, unrealistic accuracy expectations, and lack of integration planning. We mitigate these through structured discovery that validates feasibility before committing to build, clear success metrics defined upfront, and phased delivery that surfaces blockers early rather than at final delivery.

Should we use a pre-trained model or build a custom model?

Pretrained models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or open-source alternatives handle most business applications and offer faster time to value with lower upfront cost. Custom models make sense when you have proprietary data that creates competitive advantage, domain specific accuracy requirements that general models cannot meet, or cost constraints that favor lower inference expenses over higher training investment. We help you evaluate this trade off based on your specific use case and long term economics.

How do you prevent vendor locking with AI providers?

We design systems with abstraction layers that allow model swapping without rebuilding the application. This includes standardized prompt templates, model agnostic APIs, and evaluation frameworks that benchmark alternatives. When using proprietary models, we ensure you retain ownership of fine tuning data and system logic. If a provider changes pricing or deprecates a model, you have a documented migration path. We remain model-agnostic and recommend based on your requirements, not our partnerships.

What happens if the AI model does not perform as expected?

Model underperformance is a known risk in AI development. We address this by defining clear performance metrics before development, testing against representative data during build, and establishing fallback behaviors for edge cases. If accuracy targets are not met, options include additional training data, alternative model architectures, hybrid approaches combining AI with rules based logic, or scope adjustment. Our phased approach surfaces performance issues during proof of concept, before significant investment.

Who owns the AI models and outputs we build together?

You retain full ownership of all custom work, including trained models, fine-tuning data, prompts, application code, and generated outputs. We do not retain rights to your proprietary systems or data. Our standard agreements include explicit IP assignment clauses. For projects using third-party foundation models, we clarify licensing terms upfront so you understand what is yours and what remains with the model provider.

How do you handle sensitive data during AI development?

We implement data handling protocols based on sensitivity classification. Options include on-premise deployment, private cloud instances with regional data residency, data anonymization before model training, and role-based access controls. For systems using external model APIs, we configure data processing agreements and verify that inputs are not used for provider model training. Our security practices align with SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 requirements depending on your industry.

What compliance frameworks do you support for AI projects?

We build AI powered systems that meet regulatory requirements including GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and emerging AI-specific regulations like the EU AI Act. This includes audit trails for model inputs and outputs, explainability documentation for high-risk decisions, bias testing protocols, data retention policies, and human in the loop workflows where required. Compliance is designed into the architecture from the start, not retrofitted before launch.
