Advisory & Forward-Deployed Engineering

Put AI Agents into Production. Safely.

Independent agentic AI governance advisory and forward-deployed engineering for organisations putting agents into production. Vendor-neutral by design: we recommend what your risk posture actually needs — AstraSync is sometimes part of the answer, and we'll tell you when it isn't. One session. Three deliverables. Zero theatre.

Governance Advisory

Know Where You Stand Before Your Agents Ship

Focused advisory for boards, risk, and compliance leaders putting agentic AI into production paths. We assess your governance posture against the regulatory landscape, map your exposure, and hand you a plan you can act on this quarter — not a 60-page deck.

Governance Gap Assessment

Where your current AI governance holds up against agentic deployment — and where it doesn't. Identity, authorization, spend limits, audit trails, and accountability, examined against how your agents will actually operate.

Regulatory Exposure & Risk Map

A concrete map of your agent surface: which agents act on whose behalf, what they can touch, where trust is assumed rather than verified — tied to the obligations that apply in your jurisdictions.

Pragmatic Next-90-Days Plan

A short memo naming the three to five things to do next, in order, with owners. Written for boards, risk committees, and the engineers who have to build it.

Who This Is For

Boards & Directors

A defensible, plain-English view of agentic AI exposure before sign-off.

Chief Risk Officers

Reconciling model, operational, and third-party risk frameworks with autonomous agents.

Heads of Compliance

Mapping AML/CTF and due-diligence obligations to agents acting on customer behalf.

Audit & Risk Committees

Independent assurance that agent deployments won't outrun the control environment.

Fast, Fixed-Scope Engagements

Every advisory engagement is fixed in scope and priced up front, with written deliverables within 48 hours of the session. And the advice is vendor-neutral: this isn't a sales channel for AstraSync — if the platform isn't the right fit, we'll say so.

Forward-Deployed Engineering

Our Engineers, Embedded with Your Team

When the plan calls for building, our engineers sit inside your delivery team and ship agent governance controls with you — on AstraSync where it fits, or on your existing stack where it doesn't.

Identity & Registration

Agent registration and verifiable identity integrated into your stack, so every agent you run has a credential counterparties can check.

Verification & Trust Scoring

Trust scoring, verification gates, and commerce-grade checks wired into the points where your agents act — API calls, checkouts, transfers.

Runbooks & Handover

Production runbooks, monitoring, and a clean handover. Your team owns the result and knows how to operate it — no permanent dependency on us.

Direct Platform Line

Embedded engineers bring a direct line to AstraSync platform engineering, so blockers get fixed at the source instead of worked around.

Weekly engagements, scoped in sprints, with working software as the deliverable
