The model is excellent. The substrate is the work.
Most Claude deployments are demos that never make it to Monday morning. The model is excellent. The integration work is where teams stall. Eval suites, retrieval design, MCP, prompt versioning, HITL gates, audit logging, error budgets.
That's the 80% no one talks about. It's also the difference between a Claude project and a Claude system. Building a working demo on a laptop is the easy part. Shipping software that runs every day for years inside a business is a different discipline.
We build on the orchestration substrate as needed, including n8n for workflow chaining and production AI workflows for the broader category. The Claude layer is what makes the judgment calls.
