# Alde (Aldetech Limited)

> Human-grade engineering for the machine age. Alde is an engineering studio for the age of AI. Senior engineers who join your teams or lead delivery as your partner, building software and AI systems that are dependable, legible and yours.

## Services

- **Agentic systems**: Workflows in which models plan, use tools and hand over to people at the right moment. Durable orchestration, MCP servers and permissions that hold up to an audit. (MCP, Tool use, Orchestration)
- **LLM products & copilots**: Assistants and copilots placed inside the products your customers and colleagues already rely on, designed to be useful rather than merely impressive. (RAG, Conversational UX, Multimodal)
- **Evaluation & reliability**: Prompts treated as code: versioned, tested and measured. Evaluation suites, red-teaming, guardrails and regression gates in continuous integration. (Evals, Red-teaming, Guardrails)
- **Data & retrieval**: Pipelines that turn scattered enterprise knowledge into reliable context, with hybrid search, careful chunking and indexing that respects permissions. (Vector search, Knowledge graphs, ETL)
- **LLMOps & AI platforms**: Model gateways, routing, caching, tracing and cost control, deployed on-premise, in your VPC or on sovereign European cloud. (Inference, Observability, FinOps)
- **AI governance**: Readiness for the EU AI Act, risk classification, audit trails and model documentation, prepared together with your legal and risk teams. (EU AI Act, DORA, GDPR)
- **Product engineering**: Web, mobile and backend delivered with AI-assisted workflows. Shorter cycles, the same senior standards, and every line reviewed by a person. (Full-stack, Cloud, Mobile)
- **Modernisation**: Legacy systems mapped, documented and migrated with the help of AI tooling, and with human review wherever it matters. (Code migration, Refactoring, Cloud-native)

## How we work

- **Embedded: Senior engineers, inside your team**: Our engineers join as contractors and work within your rituals, repositories and roadmap from the first day. Individual engineers or tech leads; Capacity adjusted month by month; Your direction, our engineering standards.
- **Focused pod: A small team for one ambitious use case**: A cross-functional pod that takes a single AI initiative from an open question to a production pilot in six to ten weeks. A lead and two to four engineers; An evaluation suite as the specification; A pilot in production, not a demo.
- **Partner: Your principal delivery partner**: We take responsibility end to end: architecture, delivery and operations, as one accountable team. Product, engineering and operations; Milestone-based governance; Run and evolve, backed by SLAs.

## Method

1. **Frame**: Use case, data, risks and measures of success, agreed in writing before the first prompt.
2. **Prototype**: A working slice in front of real users within weeks, not quarters.
3. **Evaluate**: Reference datasets and automated evaluations become the living specification.
4. **Ship**: Guardrails, observability and rollback are part of the first release.
5. **Operate**: We watch quality, drift and cost, and the loop begins again.

## Principles

- **People remain accountable.** Models assist our work; they do not sign it off. Every release has a named engineer behind it.
- **Candour over comfort.** When a model is the wrong tool for a problem, we say so, even when it costs us the engagement.
- **Plain foundations, ambitious products.** Proven infrastructure underneath, so that the ambitious parts can reach production.
- **What we build is yours.** Code, prompts, evaluations, datasets and documentation. No black boxes, no dependence by design.
- **Experience, by design.** We keep our bench small and senior, so that no client pays for anyone's apprenticeship.
- **Independent of vendors.** Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral or open-weight models: we choose for the problem, never for a commercial agreement.

## Selected clients

Roche, UniCredit, SumUp, Docler Holding, Eni, Sisal, illimity, Banca Ifis

## FAQ

**Do you only take on AI projects?**
No. AI is where we have invested most, but our engineers build complete products across web, mobile, backend and cloud. Most of those products now include an AI layer, and that is where we add the most value.

**What is the difference between contractor and partner?**
As contractors, our engineers join your team and follow your direction. As a partner, we act as the principal development entity and take responsibility for architecture, delivery and outcomes. Many clients start with one model and move to the other.

**How quickly can you start?**
Usually within one to two weeks of an agreed brief. Our engineers are typically committing code within days of kick-off.

**Which models and clouds do you work with?**
All the leading frontier models, as well as open-weight models hosted in your own VPC or on European sovereign infrastructure. We work across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and on-premise environments.

**How do you handle sensitive data?**
Least-privilege access, redaction of personal data, European data residency where required, and complete audit trails. Our engineers are used to the compliance standards of banking and pharmaceuticals.

**Who owns the intellectual property?**
You do, from the first line: code, prompts, evaluation datasets and documentation.
