Data teams moving models into production
Replace notebook handoffs and manual deployment with reproducible pipelines, artefacts, environments, and release controls.
Model lifecycle, data, evaluation, deployment, observability, governance, and continuous improvement
Rokad establishes reproducible, observable, governed operating systems for machine-learning and generative-AI models across development and production.
Designed for / 01
MLOps connects experimentation with dependable operation. Rokad builds data and training pipelines, experiment tracking, registries, evaluation, deployment, model routing, monitoring, feedback, retraining, approval, rollback, and governance for predictive and generative AI systems.
Replace notebook handoffs and manual deployment with reproducible pipelines, artefacts, environments, and release controls.
Standardise model access, versions, evaluation, observability, cost, rollout, and incident response.
Track data, models, evaluations, approvals, deployments, performance, changes, and ownership across the lifecycle.
Challenges / 02
Data, code, features, parameters, environments, artefacts, and evaluation results are not consistently versioned or linked.
Teams monitor infrastructure but not data drift, model performance, grounding, failures, costs, or user outcomes.
New versions, prompts, providers, indexes, or features reach users without regression evidence, approval, canaries, or rollback.
Capabilities / 03
Data, feature, training, evaluation, and artefact pipelines
Experiment tracking, lineage, registries, model cards, and reproducibility
Batch, online, streaming, edge, and generative-AI deployment
Evaluation suites, regression gates, approval, canary, shadow, and rollback
Data quality, drift, performance, latency, cost, error, and safety monitoring
Feedback, labelling, retraining, reindexing, and continuous improvement
Access, environment, audit, documentation, incident, and governance operations
Solution components / 04
Versioned data, code, configuration, features, prompts, environments, experiments, artefacts, and evaluation results.
Registries, approvals, tests, packaging, deployment, traffic allocation, compatibility, rollback, and change records.
Data quality, predictions, generations, retrieval, tools, latency, cost, failures, drift, outcomes, and system health.
Feedback, sampled review, labelling, error analysis, retraining, prompt or index change, evaluation, and controlled release.
Use cases / 05
Standardise feature, training, registry, deployment, monitoring, and retraining across several models and teams.
Manage prompts, models, retrieval, evaluations, traces, providers, costs, feedback, and release gates.
Create lineage, documentation, review, approval, access, evidence, monitoring, and change-management controls.
Replace duplicated provider integrations and team-specific tooling with shared services and governance.
Architecture and integration / 06
Link production behaviour to data, code, features, prompts, indexes, configuration, model, environment, evaluation, and approval.
Keep experimentation, orchestration, serving, evaluation, telemetry, governance, and product integration independently evolvable.
Require task-specific regression results, operational checks, approval, staged exposure, monitoring, and rollback before full rollout.
Quality and control / 07
Representative evaluation data, quality criteria, failure modes, and release thresholds are defined before expanding production use.
Permissions, policy checks, approval gates, audit trails, fallbacks, and escalation paths govern consequential AI behaviour.
Inputs, outputs, retrieval, tool calls, latency, cost, model versions, and quality trends are monitored appropriately.
Delivery / 08
Clarify the business outcome, users, workflows, constraints, dependencies, risks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Define the system boundaries, data, integrations, security, operating model, delivery sequence, and technical decisions.
Deliver in controlled increments with stakeholder review, automated testing, documentation, and production-quality engineering.
Launch safely, establish observability and support, then improve the system using operational evidence and user feedback.
Typical deliverables
Engagement models / 09

FAQ
Scope, ownership, assumptions, delivery, security, and long-term operation are clarified before work begins.
No. Generative-AI systems also need versioned prompts, model and provider changes, retrieval indexes, evaluation, traces, cost monitoring, feedback, staged release, and rollback.
Yes. We assess existing data, CI/CD, orchestration, registry, serving, monitoring, and governance capabilities before introducing additional platforms.
Retraining may follow new labelled data, drift, performance decline, changed processes, new segments, scheduled cadence, or product requirements, but each version still requires evaluation and controlled release.
We preserve versioned artefacts, configuration, schemas, dependencies, traffic controls, compatibility, and deployment history so a previous approved version or deterministic fallback can be restored.
AI development
Rokad can establish the pipelines, evaluation, releases, monitoring, ownership, and governance required for continuous operation.
