# Prestanda Consulting

> Prestanda Consulting (pcplusa.com) is an AI-first enterprise technology consulting and development firm delivering AI/ML systems, Salesforce, cloud and platform engineering, data and analytics, and custom software for enterprises worldwide. Certifications: CMMI Level 3 and ISO 27001:2022.

Prestanda builds and operates Auralis, a sovereign AI platform: private AI agents, grounded retrieval (RAG) and local language model inference that run entirely on infrastructure the customer owns. No prompts, documents or embeddings are sent to an outside AI provider, and every answer is traceable to its exact source records.

## Auralis — Sovereign AI Platform

- [Auralis product page](https://pcplusa.com/auralis.html): What Auralis is, business use cases (institutional memory, weekly business value reports, team contribution insights, marketing intelligence, executive summaries, private enterprise chat), technology stack and FAQ.
- [Measuring the Business Value of AI Agents: A Practical Framework](https://pcplusa.com/insights/measuring-business-value-of-ai-agents.html): The Auralis Value Ladder (activity → deliverable → outcome → business value), a five-level evidence maturity model, and skeptic-agent validation.
- [How We Built a Fully Private RAG System on Google Chat](https://pcplusa.com/insights/private-rag-system-google-chat.html): Hybrid full-text + vector retrieval with reciprocal-rank fusion, exact message provenance, abstention behavior and benchmark results.
- [Inside Auralis: An AI Agent Architecture That Runs Without the Cloud](https://pcplusa.com/insights/sovereign-ai-agent-architecture-auralis.html): Windmill orchestration, Supabase PostgreSQL system of record, Ollama local inference and LangGraph multi-agent design.

## Forward Deployed Engineering — how Prestanda delivers

- [Forward Deployed Engineering](https://pcplusa.com/forward-deployed-engineering.html): Senior engineers embedded inside the client organisation who scope, build and ship production systems end to end, rather than delivering recommendations. Covers the difference from advisory consulting and from staff augmentation, three engineering levels, four specialisation tracks, the engagement timeline, the on-site and distributed delivery split, six delivery commitments, and FAQs.

Definition used on that page: a forward deployed engineer is a senior engineer who frames the business problem alongside the client's operators, designs and writes the software in the client's environment, and remains accountable for the system through production go-live and handover.

Engineering levels: Deployed Engineer (executes inside a defined scope), Senior Deployed Engineer (owns a workstream end to end), Principal Deployed Engineer (owns the outcome across the account). Levels denote how much undefined problem the engineer absorbs, not seniority alone.

Specialisation tracks: Data & Platform Engineering; Application & Integration Engineering; AI & Agent Engineering; Salesforce Platform Engineering.

Engagement models: Solo Deployment (one engineer), Deployed Pod (three to six engineers under one named owner), Embedded Practice (multiple pods under principal-level leadership).

Delivery model: on site for discovery (week 0-1) and for cutover (week 11-12); distributed with committed daily overlap through build and hardening. The engineer who frames the problem is the engineer who writes the code — Prestanda does not split those roles across an onsite lead and a separate offshore delivery team. Part of delivery runs from the India practice.
