Systems Decision Audit · Columbus, OH
One workflow taken through the Production Gate. A written ship, fix, redesign, or stop verdict with the evidence behind it. $1,000, or start with a $250 Production Block Call.
$1,000 · Production Gate
An evidence-backed ship, fix, redesign, or stop decision on one AI workflow, with the reasoning written down so your own reviewers can check the call instead of taking it on trust.
What the decision includes
Not in scope
If the Gate finds nothing worth deciding, we say so plainly and refund the fee. If implementation starts within 30 days, the $1,000 is credited against it.
Everything we offer, priced in the open
When implementation starts within 30 days of the decision engagement, the audit or sprint fee is credited against it.

How we decide, in one line each
Production Gate
An evidence-backed ship, fix, redesign, or stop decision on one AI workflow, with the reasoning written down so your own reviewers can check the call instead of taking it on trust.
Blocker Isolation
Isolate the one thing standing between your AI workflow and real operations, and leave with a defensible next move instead of another opinion.
The Systems Decision Audit is $1,000. The Production Block Call is the $250 entry rung, and it is credited against the audit when you go on to book it within 30 days.
Sanitized production engagements name the limit of the system, not just the win. Airtable entries are clearly labelled illustrative scenarios rather than client results.

Production concurrency controls
Replaced a 7-hour nightly batch job with a parallel worker mesh. Failure mode named: Stripe rate-limit ceiling caps throughput when entity count exceeds ~120; documented in the runbook with a backoff strategy and an alert.

Exception-queue-first intake
AP team kept the exception queue and the sign-off authority. The system handles classification, line-item extraction, and GL coding for the long tail. Loom walkthrough and architecture diagram in the case file.
US enterprise IT (sanitized)
Human approval before every write
Claude reads Intune policy state via Microsoft Graph through a scoped MCP server, drafts policy changes, and routes them to a human approver. Audit log is non-negotiable; every action carries the operator's identity.

First triage hypothesis, no autonomous remediation
MCP server exposes UniFi controller telemetry as typed tools. Claude correlates events across sites and writes a triage note into the incident channel. No autonomous remediation; that line stays on the human side.
TechTide AI runs the Systems Decision Audit out of Columbus, Ohio: one AI workflow taken through the Production Gate, ending in a written ship, fix, redesign, or stop verdict with the evidence behind it. Implementation follows only when an approved decision boundary justifies it, and it is scoped separately.
