Field notes on building bespoke, governed enterprise AI: sovereignty, speed, and the economics of owning your software outright.
The rocket that proves our point: why we moved our website off HubSpot
We took our own website off HubSpot and onto our self-hosted stack. Why you should own what you depend on, the migration that took hours, and the rocket we could finally build.
Read →What sovereignty looks like: Gysho's EU sovereign stack (Part 2)
How we engineered a real EU-sovereign stack: European data, compute, models and zero extraterritorial exposure. The Balancer, sovereign productivity on Nextcloud, and a workload-by-workload migration.
Read →EU data sovereignty: the full stack is exposed (Part 1)
Sovereignty is no longer a procurement preference. It's a structural constraint on who can operate in Europe. The CLOUD Act conflict, why residency isn't sovereignty, and the enforcement horizon.
Read →Going vendor-agnostic: knowing when to leave a single AI provider
The same story without the engineering. Less how we built our LLM router, more why, and how we knew the moment to leave a single AI provider had come.
Read →Structured intelligence: what LLMs look like when the stakes are high
What enterprise-grade LLMs actually look like: constrained by schemas, validated against rules, embedded in document lifecycles with traceability. The patterns validated across thirteen implementations.
Read →Eliminating LLM vendor lock-in with a single-tenant router
How we killed LLM vendor lock-in by routing, not rewriting. The Balancer (a single-tenant, OpenAI-compatible router with tiered fallback, a local inference pool and built-in governance) built in six weeks.
Read →Bespoke vs SaaS is no longer the old trade-off
The old rule (SaaS for speed, bespoke for fit) no longer holds. Why composable, governed, AI-assembled delivery reframes the question from build-vs-buy to standardise-vs-differentiate.
Read →Governance: the discipline that makes agentic consulting scalable (5/5)
The Playbook finale. The six-risk landscape, a five-pillar governance framework, how to operationalise trust day to day, the culture that sustains it, and a four-level maturity model.
Read →Monetising & scaling agentic consulting (4/5)
Part 4 of the Agentic Consulting Playbook. The shift from projects to recurring value: pricing models, packaging, adoption and renewal, continuous innovation, and scaling across clients and regions.
Read →How consulting firms can build their first agentic AI solution (3/5)
Part 3 of the Agentic Consulting Playbook. A practical, low-risk path: selecting the use case, guardrails, build-vs-buy, workflow design, minimal components, a governed pilot, and scale.
Read →Shape & evaluate your agentic consulting opportunity (2/5)
Part 2 of the Agentic Consulting Playbook. What "agentic" really means, the four types of agentic software, an evaluation framework for your services, and a use-case prioritisation matrix.
Read →Why consulting needs to go agentic (1/5)
Part 1 of the Agentic Consulting Playbook. Why consulting can no longer rely on traditional, human-centric delivery: the market threats, the commoditisation of IP, and the imperative to go agentic.
