Deploy AI tools to meet your business's data challenges
Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled a whole new class of business problems to be solved with AI. However, deploying models at scale against internal datasets can be tricky. scalar is here to help.
We are experts in building and running cloud-native data lakes and data pipelines. We can deploy these quickly and efficiently, managing every step of the process if needed. If your data is already assembled, that's fine too.
How we work
To ensure your AI project is a success, we typically employ an agile risk-minimisation approach to project delivery.
1. Plan
We'll work with you to understand your problem space and data assets
After an initial call to understand your problem and confirm that it is a good fit for an AI solution, we'll map out your existing data sources and propose a high-level implementation plan.
2. Implement
We'll work to de-risk the most important parts of the project
AI projects often entail considerable risk. We'll work quickly to solve the highest-risk problems and demonstrate an end-to-end solution to your problem.
3. Improve and Maintain
With the biggest problems solved, we'll focus on documentation and reliability
Once the biggest problems are solved - typically models and data - we'll work to make the system production-ready. A first milestone will typically include documentation so that the system can be extended or re-used.

Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, contact us on hello@scalar.dev.
Where are you based?
We are a limited company based in the UK.
How much do you charge?
Our rates depend on the size and complexity of each project. We typically bill by the hour only for work done and will agree on a work plan beforehand. For large, well-scoped projects we can agree milestone-based deliverables at a fixed cost.
What technologies do you use?
We will happily recommend technologies based upon our experience in the field and your individual needs. Where possible, we choose established open-source tools to ensure your system can be maintained into the future. If you have existing tech in place, we can work with most programming languages, data systems, infrastructure tools, models and frameworks.
Can you handle our messy legacy data?
Yes. We have many years experience integrating data from many sources and working with third-party vendors to access their data. In the few cases where this may not be possible, we'll endeavour to find other options
Who will work on my project?
We have a small team of engineers and product experts who deliver our projects. Technical planning, architecture work and frequently implementation will be handled by our CTO, Alex.
We're not sure our project is technically feasible
We will always be honest about what is and isn't possible. Get in touch with us and we'll be happy to review your requirements ambitiously but honestly.
I'm looking for advice
We'll happily give you 30 minutes of free consultation to review your problem. After that, we can provide further input for an hourly fee including architecture plans and documentation.
