AI Strategy & Operations

Black Path Labs (BPL) helps you decide where to use AI, design it to fit your business, and run it once it’s built.

Services

  • Map the business before the model

    You’re committing to an AI system before mapping the part of your business it will serve.

    BPL maps that part first: the words it uses, the rules it follows, and where it stops and the next part starts. The AI is designed around that map.

  • Custom AI model design & build

    No off-the-shelf model was trained on your data or built for your task.

    BPL fine-tunes an existing model on your data or trains a custom one from scratch, and runs it wherever you need it, with your data kept in your sovereign jurisdiction (the one your data must not leave).

  • AI opportunity assessment

    You have more possible uses for AI than capacity to evaluate them.

    BPL reviews your processes for value and risk, naming the two or three worth building first.

  • Pilot rescue

    Your AI pilot has stalled, and nobody agrees on what went wrong.

    BPL finds the root cause, then fixes it or recommends stopping the pilot.

  • Model selection & routing

    You’ve committed to one AI model, so every task inherits that model’s weaknesses.

    BPL tests models on your real work and routes each task by those results.

  • Managed AI agents

    You don’t have the specialists to run AI in-house.

    BPL runs the AI agents you approve, software that carries out tasks on your behalf, under human review. You get a monthly performance report.

  • AI governance & audit

    Your AI’s output reaches customers before anyone has checked it.

    BPL independently reviews every output, requires human sign-off before anything goes out, and keeps audit-ready records.

  • AI security & compliance readiness

    Your AI systems aren’t ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001 (the international security standard), or PIPEDA (Canada’s federal privacy law).

    BPL prepares those systems, and the head-office (IT) and plant-floor (OT) infrastructure beneath them, for SOC 2 readiness and ISO 27001 readiness, and for PIPEDA, drawing on work in financial services and agribusiness.
