Question 1

What does Claude Experts actually do?

Accepted Answer

We are a specialist studio for one platform. We embed in your repository and build Claude systems that survive production: agents with tool use, Model Context Protocol integrations, retrieval layers, evaluation harnesses and the guardrails that keep all of it safe. Engagements are fixed scope, fixed fee, and the code is yours from the first commit.

Question 2

How is this different from a general AI consultancy?

Accepted Answer

A generalist firm spreads across several model providers and learns your platform on your budget. We work on Claude only, so patterns like prompt caching, context budgeting, tool schema design and eval gating are already solved before your project starts.

Question 3

Are your experts certified by Anthropic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our specialists hold Anthropic's role-based certifications across the Associate, Developer and Architect tracks, including the advanced Architect Professional tier. We treat that as a baseline rather than the sales pitch, because what decides an engagement is the system running in your repository.

Question 4

How is an engagement staffed?

Accepted Answer

With the specialist your problem needs, drawn from agent architecture, MCP and integrations, evaluation, security and enablement. There is always a second senior reviewer on the code rather than whoever happened to be free that week.

Question 5

Why do you not publish individual names?

Accepted Answer

Our experts work inside client repositories under NDA and several are on regulated engagements. We publish roles, specialisms and credentials instead, and you meet the specific person assigned to your work during scoping.

Question 6

Who owns the IP?

Accepted Answer

You do, entirely. Code lives in your repository from day one and IP transfer is signed before week one begins. No platform tax, no hosted black box you have to keep renting.

Question 7

How fast can we start?

Accepted Answer

Two weeks from signed scope to first pull request is typical. We keep a small number of slots open each quarter specifically so that stays true.

Question 8

What is the minimum engagement?

Accepted Answer

$9,000 for a two-week Claude Expert Audit, or $30,000 for a six-week Production Agent Build. We do not bill hourly and we do not take open-ended retainers below a quarterly commitment.

Question 9

Which stack and models do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Claude through the Anthropic API, Amazon Bedrock and Google Vertex. We build in TypeScript and Python, deploy to AWS, GCP, Azure or your own VPC, and integrate with the systems of record you already run. We meet your stack instead of importing ours.

Question 10

Can you train our engineers instead of building for us?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Team Enablement is a four-week track that takes your engineers through prompting, tool design, evaluation and agentic coding using your codebase as the training ground, and prepares anyone who wants it for the Anthropic exams.

Question 11

Do you work in regulated environments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HIPAA in healthcare, SOC 2 and SOX in financial services, privilege-aware work for legal teams, and isolated deployments for the public sector. Those engagements ship with a compliance architecture document and a security review package.

Question 12

What happens after the engagement ends?

Accepted Answer

You get a runbook, the eval suite, the pipelines and a trained team. Most clients then move to an embedded arrangement for continuous delivery, but nothing we build depends on us staying.

Questions we get before every engagement.
