Introduction: From Pilot to Production

Many AI projects stall after the planning stage. Research reveals that 88 % of AI proofs‑of‑concept never make it to production, often due to ignoring the human side of AI (transition management, change management and culture), unclear ROI, insufficient data and lack of technical expertise. At the same time, only 5 % of businesses realize significant value from AI. Sixth City AI’s Implementation & Technical Services bridge that gap. We provide full‑scale project management, custom development, integration and continuous support to ensure your AI initiatives deliver on their promise.

Full‑Scale Projects & Management

Full‑Service AI Transformation

We manage the entire AI transformation lifecycle—from data engineering and model development to deployment and change management. Our holistic approach ensures that pilots scale into production and deliver tangible business outcomes.

Fractional AI Program Manager

Not every organization needs a full‑time AI leader. A fractional program manager offers part‑time strategic oversight, aligning projects, tracking progress and coordinating across departments without the cost of a full‑time hire.

Project management, data engineering, model development, integration, change management and value tracking. We coordinate end‑to‑end execution.

They provide part‑time leadership to align projects across teams, monitor progress and offer strategic guidance without the cost of a full‑time executive.

Development, Proof of concept & Integration

AI Development Consulting

Our engineers build custom AI models and applications tailored to your use‑cases. Whether it’s natural language processing, computer vision or generative AI, we deliver scalable and maintainable solutions.

AI Proof of Concept (PoC)

To de‑risk your AI investments, we build small prototypes with clear success metrics. These PoC's test technical feasibility and business value, enabling data‑driven decisions about scaling.

with a Specific AI/Agent Project

If you have a defined project -- like a chatbot or an automated report -- we can jump in at any stage. Our experts assist with data preparation, model training, deployment and user adoption.

AI Integration Planning Services

Integrating AI into existing systems can be complex. We design data pipelines, recommend middleware and address scalability, security and performance requirements.

Generative AI Proof of Concept

Generative AI introduces new opportunities and risks. Our GenAI PoC's explore content generation and automation use‑cases while monitoring output quality and ethics.

Custom AI Solution Consult (1 Hr)

For unique or complex questions, book a one‑hour consultation. We review your architecture, troubleshoot problems or offer guidance on technology choices.

Support & Maintenance

AI models need continuous monitoring and refinement. We provide maintenance services to retrain models, update infrastructure and ensure compliance.

Generative AI Performance OptimiZation

GenAI models can be resource‑intensive. We fine‑tune prompts, adjust parameters and optimize infrastructure to improve quality and reduce costs.

Both. We evaluate open‑source and commercial models and customize them for your needs or build bespoke models when necessary, through our network of vetted partners.

: It focuses on creative applications while emphasising ethical considerations and output quality.

Yes. We can assist with any stage from data preparation and model tuning to deployment and user adoption.

We can review your architecture, recommend tools and troubleshoot performance issues.

Models degrade as data changes. Regular updates keep them accurate, secure and compliant.

By refining prompts, adjusting model parameters and optimising infrastructure to improve response time and reduce costs.

Addressing Governance, Risk & Ethics

AI without governance is risky. Studies show that leadership support, proper training and governance structures are essential for successful adoption. Our governance offerings embed responsibility and transparency into your AI program.

Building AI Governance
