01
Delegation
Move the right work to the model. Not everything — only the tasks where Claude is faster, calmer, or more consistent than the human doing them today.
Forward deployedapplied AI, for thoughtful businesses.
The Method
The 4D framework.
Four disciplines we hold every Orfloat engagement to — inspired by Anthropic's published Applied AI practice. They are the difference between an interesting demo and a system you can stake the business on.
02
Description
Spell out the work as if for a thoughtful new colleague. Context, constraints, evidence, the shape of a good answer. Tools and Skills are the vocabulary.
03
Discernment
Read the output the way a senior reads a junior. Calibrate trust to the task. Build the eval before you build the agent. Notice drift early.
04
Diligence
Stay in the loop. Treat safety, privacy, and reversibility as primary constraints — not afterthoughts. Operate the system, don't just deploy it.
Built on Claude · Anthropic
Six primitives. One coherent practice.
Anthropic ships extraordinary primitives. Most teams use one of them. Orfloat composes all six into systems calibrated to your operation — and stays embedded long enough for the seams to disappear.
01
Anthropic API
Direct access to frontier reasoning. Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku — calibrated to the latency, cost, and judgement each step of your workflow actually needs.
02
Claude Code & SDKs
Agentic coding embedded in your team's workflow. We deploy Claude Code with your repo, your conventions, and a curated set of guardrails specific to your codebase.
03
Model Context Protocol
A common language between Claude and your existing systems. Inventory, POS, ERP, CRM, calendars, sheets — exposed cleanly so the model reasons over real, current state.
04
Skills
Reusable, evaluated capabilities. The right Skill in scope, the wrong ones quietly out of the way — so the agent stays sharp on the work that matters today.
05
Plugins & Tools
Narrow, well-described tools the model can actually use. We design the contract, write the eval, and operate the integration once it's live.
06
Claude-managed agents
Persistent agentic loops with memory, retries, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints — for the work that doesn't finish in a single chat turn.
Engagement model
Discovery first. Always.
We will not propose a system before we have understood the work. Every Orfloat engagement begins with a fixed, time-boxed Discovery — because the alternative is shipping a beautiful answer to the wrong question.
Phase 01
Discovery
Fifteen calendar days, on-site. We shadow the work end to end — front of house, back office, finance, supplier flows. You leave with an audit, an opportunity map, and a calibrated roadmap.
15 days · On-site
Phase 02
Service Agreement
A scoped, milestone-based agreement built from Discovery — never a generic SOW. Effort, dependency, and impact are estimated from evidence, not guessed at.
Calibrated to your roadmap
Phase 03
Forward deployment
Orfloat engineers sit inside the business while we ship. We build, evaluate, train your team to operate the system, and stay close through the first quarter of production.
