SLA-Backed Incident Support

This is written, honest response-time commitments for when an AI system in production breaks, degrades, or starts producing bad output — same-day response for critical issues, defined windows for lower-severity ones, and a named escalation path instead of a generic support inbox. It exists because AI systems fail differently from normal software: a model can quietly get worse, a provider can change behavior overnight, or an integration can drift out of sync, and none of that shows up as a clean crash. We define severity levels against your specific systems up front, so when something goes wrong there's no ambiguity about how fast a response is coming or who owns it. You get a documented incident history and a support relationship that treats production AI with the same seriousness as any other business-critical system.

How We’d Approach This

A clear, staged plan — not a black box

  1. 1

    Diagnose which of your AI systems are business-critical and define severity tiers and response-time commitments for each

  2. 2

    Pilot the incident-response process against a simulated or historical failure to confirm the escalation path actually works

  3. 3

    Review the SLA terms with you until response windows and severity definitions match real business impact

  4. 4

    Operate ongoing on-call coverage against the signed SLA, with every incident logged and reported
