The work
Name what needs to happen, the people who use it and the result a person must approve.
/ AEscape Velocity · Perth and WA
Local and private AI, fitted to your work.
Decide whether Ollama or another open-model runtime belongs in your business before building around it.
We help Perth and WA businesses assess, set up and integrate local or private AI around a concrete workflow. We start with the work, the data and the people who approve the result—not the model brand.
That can include Ollama setup and deployment, model selection, document search and RAG, data or API connections, security controls, evaluation, monitoring and documented handover.
/ BChoose from evidence
Start with the workflow, not the runtime.
The data
Trace what reaches the model, where it is stored, what is logged and who is allowed to see it.
The runtime
Compare Ollama and other open-model or managed options against the actual hardware, availability and operating constraints.
The connection
Test document retrieval, APIs, existing systems and human approval without assuming every integration belongs in the first slice.
/ CA proportionate first step
Use the smallest engagement that answers the question.
A$177 + GST per hour; A$708 + GST half-day; A$1,416 + GST full day
Defined engineering help
For a narrow setup, model comparison, test, integration fault or feasibility question where the data, access and expected output are already clear.
A$177 + GST per hour
Escape Velocity partner-selected engineering blocks
For uncertain RAG, data, security, legacy-system or process questions. We map the constraints and include a working result tested on agreed examples.
Scoped after evidence
Larger implementation
For production hosting, identity and access, sensitive-data controls, complex integrations, monitoring, broader rollout or ongoing support.
/ DBoundaries
Local is not a synonym for private.
- Local does not automatically mean private, secure, compliant, cheaper or faster.
- We do not promise a hardware capacity, model accuracy, residency outcome or saving before testing it.
- Consequential actions keep an accountable human approval point.
- Models, licences, data access, logs, updates, backups and operating ownership are made explicit.
- We do not ask for passwords, API keys, confidential documents or production credentials in the enquiry form.
/ EThe first step
Request a no-charge fit check.
Tell us the workflow, why local or private AI matters, what systems are involved and who will approve the result. Describe data by type only—do not paste confidential material, passwords, credentials or API keys.
This is an Escape Velocity pathway for SMEs, not a separate platform or managed-service promise.
