AI in your operations, built as a loop.

ARP17 is a consulting and engineering practice that integrates AI into automation pipelines. Every system we ship keeps running the cycle: automating the work, researching what the results say, and prototyping the next improvement.

The ARP17 cycle Diagram of a repeating cycle: Automate leads to Research, Research leads to Prototype, and Prototype leads back to Automate.

the method

The cycle is the deliverable.

We sell the loop: a system that ships early, gets measured in production, and improves with every pass. Each cycle leaves your pipeline measurably better than the last.

Automate

We wire AI into the pipeline you already run: intake, triage, data movement, document handling, reporting. The goal is a working system in production.

Research

Once it runs, we measure it: where the model is wrong, where humans still step in, where the process itself is the bottleneck. Evidence, straight from your data.

Prototype

Findings become the next prototype: a better prompt, a new tool in the chain, a changed workflow. Small, testable, and reversible by design.

Repeat

The prototype that survives testing goes back into the automated pipeline, and the loop starts again. Never at v1. Always in an iterative adaptation process.

what we do

Consulting and engineering, in the same pair of hands.

We advise on where AI belongs in your process, then build and operate it. One team owns the recommendation and its consequences.

Pipeline and process audits
We map how work actually flows through your team and identify the steps where automation and AI pay for themselves first.
LLM and API integration
Model selection, prompt and tool design, and the plumbing that connects models to your systems of record.
Workflow automation
Queues, schedulers, webhooks, and orchestration that replace copy-paste work and brittle spreadsheet handoffs.
Evaluation and monitoring
Test sets, quality metrics, and alerting, so you always know how the system performs this week.
Prototype sprints
A focused build that answers one question: is this worth automating? You get a working prototype and a measured answer.
Team enablement
Documentation, handover sessions, and playbooks so your own people can run and extend what we build together.

how we work

Two-week cycles. Stop whenever you want.

Every engagement is a sequence of fixed-price cycles. Each one ends with something running and a decision about the next loop. You choose, cycle by cycle, how far to go.
