Get in touch [All services](https://foundrysoft.co/services) Focus Primary / Models Engagement Fixed-scope or dedicated Timeline From 4 weeks Ownership 100% yours How we deliver ## Our process for fine-tuning for specialized needs A fixed four-step path from first call to production, with weekly demos and a hard launch date. Days 1–4 Step 01 ### Discovery & data audit We map your use case, evaluate data readiness, and define success metrics and guardrails up front. Deliverable Feasibility report & eval plan Days 5–9 Step 02 ### Model & pipeline design We architect the retrieval, model, and orchestration layers with cost, latency, and safety in mind. Deliverable Architecture & prompt/eval harness Weeks 2–3 Step 03 ### Build, evaluate & harden We build with a regression eval suite, add guardrails against prompt injection and PII leaks, and tune quality. Deliverable Tested system & eval dashboard Week 4 Step 04 ### Deploy & monitor We ship to production with telemetry, cost controls, and one-click rollback, then hand over full ownership. Deliverable Live system, docs & handover See where your project fits.

We don't just jump to the most complex solution. We start with the simplest intervention, like prompt engineering or retrieval, and only move to LoRA or full fine-tuning when there's evidence that it's necessary. - **Data preparation:** We handle the heavy lifting of cleaning data, removing sensitive information, and building high-quality test sets. - **Efficient training:** We use LoRA and QLoRA on open models like Llama and Mistral to get high performance without needing massive compute resources. - **Tone and behavior:** We use techniques like DPO to ensure the model follows your brand's specific tone and avoids unwanted behaviors. - **Owned assets:** You get the final model weights and training code, so you're not locked into a specific provider's API. ### Technical standards Every training run is tracked and every dataset is verified. We provide model weights and a testing framework you can run yourself. - **Reproducibility:** We document every step and dependency so you can recreate our results. - **Evaluation:** We test models against specific tasks and general benchmarks to ensure no loss in overall capability. - **Full ownership:** All final artifacts are yours to deploy on your own servers. #### What's included - Production-grade evals & guardrails - Full telemetry and cost controls - Prompt & model version control - 100% IP, model & data ownership #### Have a project like this?
