Enterprise Pilot Review

The agent pilot you should actually ship.

60 minutes with a BaileyFinch principal engineer. A written architectural review covering workflow selection, framework decision, and the path from pilot to production. Delivered within 5 business days. No charge.

  • 60-minute working session with a BaileyFinch principal engineer
  • Live review of workflow selection, framework choice, scope, and production path
  • Written summary with prioritized recommendations and a defensible go or no-go on the proposed pilot
  • Direct read on whether the pilot you are scoping is the right first agent to build

Request pilot review

Tell us what you’re scoping.

We review every request within 24 hours. Handled by a principal engineer, not a sales queue.

No charge. NDA on request.

What we cover

Six dimensions in 60 minutes.

01

Workflow selection

Which workflow inside your org is the right first agent. Most teams pick the wrong one. The cheapest correction is the conversation that happens before the build starts.

02

Architecture & control flow

Graph topology, state transitions, the decisions the engineer makes versus the decisions the model is allowed to invent at runtime.

03

State, gates & guardrails

Checkpoints, persistence, schema validators, allow-lists, budget thresholds, kill switches. The deterministic safety net inside the graph instead of operators in the loop on every step.

04

Framework fit

LangGraph, LangChain, raw SDKs, or no framework. We tell you where the abstraction earns its place and where it is costing more than it saves on your specific build.

05

Production path

Pilot to prod, monitoring, observability, rollback. The distance between the demo that impresses the steering committee and the system that runs every day without on-call panic.

06

Success metric

What the pilot has to demonstrate to earn the next round of investment. The metric you can defend to a CFO who has heard a lot of AI promises.

Who this is for

Three enterprise situations where 60 minutes is worth your time.

CTOs and VPs of Engineering scoping a first agent pilot.

You have budget for one pilot this fiscal year. You want a clear-eyed read on which workflow, which framework, and which architectural posture earns you the second round of investment.

Engineering leaders inheriting a stalled agent project.

There is code, there is a demo, there is no production path. You need to know whether to invest in fixing it, restart with a cleaner architecture, or kill it and reinvest the budget somewhere else.

Heads of AI at regulated enterprise.

Financial services, healthcare, supply chain. You need an agent architecture that passes internal security and risk review on the first pass. Audit trail, gates, and observability are non-negotiable.

Why BaileyFinch

We engineer agent systems for the environments that punish lazy architecture.

BaileyFinch is an AI strategy and engineering firm. Our principal engineers ship agent systems into regulated enterprise: financial services, healthcare, supply chain. The audit reflects the discipline we apply on paid engagements: graph-first design, deterministic gates inside the graph, observability before autonomy, models treated as interchangeable nodes inside a durable architecture.

We build on LangGraph for control flow and LangChain for components. We drop to raw SDKs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, Vertex) when the abstraction costs more than it saves. We will tell you when an agent is the wrong tool and when a deterministic pipeline would serve you better. The audit is the same conversation we run on day one of a paid engagement.

Questions

Direct answers.

What does the review cost?

Nothing. The 60-minute session and the written architectural summary are at no charge.

Do you run paid pilot engagements after?

Yes, when there is a clear scope fit. We do not scope a pilot we have not architected. The audit is the prerequisite. If there is no fit, we say so directly.

What does a typical pilot engagement look like?

Fixed scope, fixed price, 4 to 8 weeks depending on workflow complexity. Defined success metric, written architectural artifacts, and a clear handoff to your team at the end. The scoping happens after the audit when the architecture is settled.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. We will sign yours or use our standard mutual NDA. Send it with the request and we will return it executed.

Do you support our existing stack?

Almost certainly. We engineer on LangGraph, LangChain, and raw SDKs across Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, and Vertex. We integrate with whatever data, identity, and observability layer you already run.

Is there a follow-up obligation?

No. The written deliverable stands on its own and is yours to use. There is no automated follow-up sequence.

Send us the pilot. We will tell you whether it ships.

One form. One conversation. One written summary. No follow-up sequence.
