WORK

The decisions behind
the systems.

A view of the problems, architecture choices and evaluation questions that shape technology work. Published company projects are available through Webskitters.

ILLUSTRATIVE ARCHITECTURE EXAMPLES

How a problem
becomes a design.

The examples below are illustrative design scenarios. They describe an approach to reasoning; they are not claims about named clients, delivered projects or achieved results.

01 / ARCHITECTURE SCENARIO

Enterprise knowledge intelligence

CHALLENGE

An organisation’s useful knowledge is distributed across documents, teams and systems.

ARCHITECTURE

A retrieval layer, permission-aware access and source-linked answers connect the interface to approved knowledge.

AI APPROACH

Use generation to synthesise retrieved information; define how the system handles missing, conflicting or outdated evidence.

WHAT TO EVALUATE

Evaluate answer relevance, source support, appropriate access and the effort needed to reach a useful result.

02 / ARCHITECTURE SCENARIO

Intelligent workflow orchestration

CHALLENGE

A repeatable process involves several systems, exceptions and hand-offs between people.

ARCHITECTURE

Explicit workflow states, well-scoped tools and an audit trail keep actions understandable and recoverable.

AI APPROACH

Use an agent for bounded decisions that need flexibility; use deterministic steps where the process is already clear.

WHAT TO EVALUATE

Track task completion, exception handling, human intervention and the cost of mistakes alongside time saved.

03 / ARCHITECTURE SCENARIO

Evolving a digital platform

CHALLENGE

A growing product needs new capabilities while existing customers depend on its reliability.

ARCHITECTURE

Clear service boundaries, API contracts and a staged migration plan create a route for change.

AI APPROACH

Introduce intelligence where it improves a specific user task, with evaluation and operational ownership in place.

WHAT TO EVALUATE

Assess service reliability, deployment friction, user adoption and the maintainability of the resulting system.
