Will our company data be used to train third-party models?
That depends on the selected service, contract, region and configuration. We define the data boundary, verify the relevant provider terms and configure the integration for the agreed use. Where this boundary is unacceptable, Private AI may be the better route.
When is an API better than Private AI?
An API often wins when fast onboarding, access to leading capabilities and low infrastructure burden matter most. The decision still depends on data handling, measured quality, volume and the provider boundary.
Where can private infrastructure be located?
It may run in an office, lab or professional data centre according to security, power, connectivity, availability and operating requirements. Hardware ownership, hosting and management are agreed per project.
Can you work with our current systems and data?
Yes. The study maps existing applications, interfaces, permissions and data quality before recommending an integration. We do not require a complete platform replacement.
What is the difference between retrieval and fine-tuning?
Retrieval supplies approved current knowledge at request time and can preserve source visibility. Fine-tuning changes model behaviour through additional training. We fine-tune only when evaluation shows a benefit that justifies its cost and maintenance.
How do you handle quality, hallucinations and human oversight?
AI output can be wrong. We use representative evaluation sets, structured outputs, source visibility, guardrails, monitoring and human review where the consequence of an error requires it.
What determines implementation and operating cost?
Cost follows workflow scope, integration complexity, data preparation, quality and security requirements, usage volume, infrastructure, licences and the selected operating model. We confirm scope and price before work begins.
What exactly does the paid opportunity study deliver?
You receive a prioritised opportunity map, risk assessment, researched options, recommended architecture, cost model and a phased runbook with responsibilities and next steps.
Can we implement the runbook elsewhere?
Yes. The study is a standalone client-owned deliverable. Your internal team, another supplier or ARODAX can implement it.
Can ARODAX manage or hand over the finished system?
Yes. We can provide ongoing infrastructure and model operations, monitoring, security, upgrades and incident handling, or prepare documented handover to the agreed owner.
