AI services · System prompt consulting
# Usually it is the prompt, not the model.
Your AI workflow gives inconsistent or wrong output and you do not know why. Nine times out of ten it is the system prompt, not the model. We design and debug the prompts behind your automations so they reliably produce what you need.

## Credibility first

We build this for real. Local LLMs on Ollama, n8n automations, OpenAI and Claude APIs, our own agentic stack that runs this very company. Engineering background, not prompt tourism. We learn the *personality* of the model you have chosen and know how to talk to it so it does what you need, consistently.

## What we do

###  Diagnose
We find why your workflow misbehaves: the ambiguous instruction, the missing guardrail, the context the model never had. Often the fix is upstream of where the symptom shows.

###  Design
We write and structure the system prompts behind your automations so the output is reliable, on-spec and repeatable, with the guardrails that stop it going off the rails.

###  Debug & harden
We stress-test the prompts against the edge cases that break them in production, and document the whole thing so your team can maintain it.

## Format and price

This is expertise work, so we sell it as a fixed-scope **consulting block** or a **workshop**, a few hours with the specialist and AI in the room, priced up front. You get working, documented prompts as the deliverable.

### Consulting block or workshop
Fixed-price block, never hourly
A scoped consulting block or a workshop, agreed and priced before we start. Deliverable: working, documented system prompts your team can maintain. No open-ended hourly meter.

### Why not just charge by the hour?
Because you should know the cost before you commit, and we should be paid for the outcome, not the clock. We scope and price the block up front.

### Do you work with our existing stack?
Yes. n8n, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, local models on Ollama, custom APIs: we work inside what you already run rather than making you switch.

### Is this a one-off or ongoing?
Usually a focused block gets a workflow reliable and hands it back documented. If you want ongoing tuning as your automations grow, we can scope that too.
