AI Evaluations & Governance Tooling

Continuous-Eval Platform for a KSA Insurance Group

A red-team + golden-set + drift-detection harness wrapping every LLM feature the insurer ships, claims triage, customer chat, fraud narratives. Catches model regressions before they hit production, satisfying SAMA's 2026 model-risk circular.

From RAG to Context Engineering

Multi-Hop Context Engine for an Aramco-Tier Energy Operator

We replaced flat-RAG with a context engine that plans retrieval, reranks across P&IDs / SAP notifications / well logs, and budgets tokens against task complexity. Engineers now get answers grounded in the right asset history, not a top-5 chunk soup.

Agentic RPA (Agents + UI Automation)

ZATCA E-Invoicing + Procurement Agent for a Retail Chain

An agent that reads supplier PDFs, maps SKUs to the ERP, validates against POs, posts to SAP and submits ZATCA Phase-2 e-invoices, recovering from errors instead of routing them to a human queue.
