Case Studies

Real deployments, real numbers. What we actually built, who it was for, and what changed once it shipped.

Everything else on this site is argument and blueprint. These are receipts: systems Cone Red built and put into production, with the before-and-after numbers attached. A bank compliance stack that went from rule-based to 99.6% recall. A recommendation engine running in 100+ pharmacy locations off a 2M-relation medical graph. A one-button voice app that ended a four-person paper relay in a Spanish clay quarry.

No case study here ships without the failure modes and the constraints that made it hard: language barriers, offline environments, legacy systems nobody wanted to touch. If you build with AI for a living, this is the part where the model meets a business that has to keep running while you change it.

Here is how it works and what it changed.
