01 · Flagship work
Systems that shipped
MCP-Telecom
LLM agents cannot interact with network devices — no standardized interface exists for telecom equipment across vendors, protocols, and safety requirements.
PROXIMA
Teams ship A/B tests using short-term proxy metrics without knowing if those proxies reliably predict long-term outcomes — leading to false wins and hidden regressions.
LLM Incident Copilot
Production incident debugging requires sifting through multi-MB log files manually — AI tools hallucinate conclusions without citing actual evidence.
