Paved Road AI Book a Platform Readiness Call

Build your AI Center of Excellence. Then take it to every team.

We build the platform, governance, and evaluation harnesses that take your teams from scattered AI pilots to production, safely and at speed.

Book a Platform Readiness Call

A 30 minute working session on where your AI platform stands today, and what production readiness would take.

Center of Excellence Finance Operations Engineering Customer People

AI is everywhere in your company. It is not yet working together.

Pilots without a plan

Every team is experimenting on its own, with its own tools and its own vendors. Few of those pilots ever reach production.

The same work, rebuilt

Teams solve identical problems separately. Prompts, integrations, and lessons learned stay trapped inside one group.

Risk nobody owns

Data handling, model choice, and review standards vary team by team. Leadership cannot see what is running or whether it is safe.

One road, built once, that every team can travel.

A Center of Excellence is the central team that brings AI into the company, proves what works, and feeds it forward to every team. We build that center with you, then hand it over running.

  1. Assess
    First 30 days

    Find where AI creates real value

    We map current AI use across teams, rank opportunities by value and risk, and agree a 12 month roadmap with leadership.

  2. Build
    Days 31 to 90

    Stand up the Center of Excellence

    Charter, operating model, intake for team requests, shared platform, and the governance that lets teams move quickly without guessing.

  3. Scale
    Day 91 onward

    Enable every team

    Role based training for developers, architects, and leaders, reusable building blocks, and a steady cadence of new use cases moving into production.

What we do

AI strategy and roadmap

A clear point of view on where AI fits your business, which use cases come first, and how you will measure return.

Center of Excellence setup

The team, the charter, the shared platform, and the operating rhythm, built on agent orchestration patterns that turn scattered pilots into a managed portfolio.

Team enablement

Cohort training and certification tracks so every function can build and use AI with confidence, not just the engineering team.

AI assurance

Evaluation harnesses and runtime telemetry that prove your agents are doing what they should, built into how software ships rather than bolted on at the end.

What the platform actually looks like.

Not a slide, a real shape. Every AI system we build routes through the same five stages, so nothing reaches a user without being checked, and nothing has to be rebuilt by the next team that needs it.

Ingestion Gateway Context Protocol Policy Layer Eval Harness Production Runtime Evaluation checkpoint, every stage is checked before the next one runs

Built for organizations that answer to regulators.

Healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and infrastructure cannot afford AI that works in a demo and fails an audit. Governance is part of the road, not a gate at the end of it.

  • Policy as code and evaluation harnesses built directly into your CI/CD pipeline
  • Provenance and telemetry for every model driven decision
  • Verification gates in your release pipeline before anything reaches users
  • An open maturity model so you can measure progress over time

Led by Sonia Mehta, an engineering leader of 25 years who still builds.

With over two decades leading enterprise platforms and healthcare infrastructure, Sonia bridges high level AI governance with hands on multi agent architecture. She builds with today's AI tools herself, from agent orchestration to evaluation harnesses, so the advice you get comes from someone who has done the work.

She writes about platform thinking, agent architecture, and AI governance in the Paved Road newsletter and on LinkedIn.
