◉ production engineering for ai-native teams

Your AI works in demos.
We make it work in production.

Opportune partners with Series A–D AI companies to close the gap between a working prototype and a production-grade system — without breaking.

95%
of AI pilots fail to reach production
131
Cursor outages tracked in one year
34hrs
OpenAI's longest recorded outage
75%
of multi-step agent tasks fail on retry

◌ what we do

Six failure modes.
Six engineering answers.

Provider Resilience

Multi-provider routing fabrics with admission control, circuit breakers, and graceful degradation — so one provider's bad day isn't your users' problem.

Eval Infrastructure

LLM-as-judge pipelines that run pre-deploy and continuously in production. Catch regressions before users file tickets.

Retrieval Engineering

Retrieval eval pipelines, index drift detection, and purpose-built reranking. Bad retrieval is the root cause of most RAG hallucinations.

Cost Observability

Token attribution per feature, user, and team. Semantic caching and intelligent routing that typically reduces LLM bills 40–70%.

Agent Runtime Design

Agents engineered like distributed systems — idempotent operations, checkpointing, replayable traces, bounded recovery loops.

AI Incident Runbooks

Postmortems and runbooks classified by failure layer: retrieval outage, quality drift, performance, cost spike, data incident. Each with its own diagnosis tree.

Scoped, fixed-scope engagements. No open-ended retainers.

Two-week scoped review, evolving into a retainer. No retainer lock-in until you see the work.

Real failures.
Real postmortems.

We publish in-depth teardowns of public AI production failures — what went wrong, why, and the engineering that would have prevented it.
