Independent engineering / For work where being wrong is expensive
Acyclic builds software and private AI inside the client’s environment. Senior engineers work forward-deployed with AI agents, set acceptance criteria up front, and take accountability for what ships.
Our practices
The same standard applies to a model deployment, a system of record, and an embedded build team.
Representative work
The operating details matter: how a route becomes an invoice, how a payment is reconciled, and how an analysis supports a human decision.
Operations / Representative engagement
Regional wastewater operator. Field service work had to pass cleanly from scheduling into records and invoices.
Built: A connected operating system for routes, dispatch, service history, and billing.
Finance / Representative engagement
Financial operations team. Payment events and records needed a traceable path through reconciliation.
Built: Payment, reconciliation, and financial operations software.
Decision support / Representative engagement
Professional chess practice. Analysis needed to remain useful to a human coach and player.
Built: AI agent-assisted analysis and coaching software for professional chess.
Principles
We specify what success means before the build. We keep the system understandable to the people who will operate it. We use AI agents for the bulk of implementation, with senior engineers responsible for decisions, verification, and deployment.
