# Orfloat

**Forward deployed applied AI, for thoughtful businesses.**

We embed engineers inside a handful of GCC businesses each year and turn what Claude can already do into systems your team will still trust at 2am on a Friday.

- **Studio:** Afraa & Mufassir LLC
- **Practice:** Applied AI · Forward Deployed
- **Stack:** Claude · MCP · Skills · Agents
- **Region:** Muscat & the wider GCC
- **Engagement:** Typically 15 days on-site for Discovery

## 01 — The Method: The 4D framework

Four disciplines we hold every Orfloat engagement to — inspired by Anthropic's published Applied AI practice. They are the difference between an interesting demo and a system you can stake the business on.

- **01 / Delegation.** Move the right work to the model. Not everything — only the tasks where Claude is faster, calmer, or more consistent than the human doing them today.
- **02 / Description.** Spell out the work as if for a thoughtful new colleague. Context, constraints, evidence, the shape of a good answer. Tools and Skills are the vocabulary.
- **03 / Discernment.** Read the output the way a senior reads a junior. Calibrate trust to the task. Build the eval before you build the agent. Notice drift early.
- **04 / Diligence.** Stay in the loop. Treat safety, privacy, and reversibility as primary constraints — not afterthoughts. Operate the system, don't just deploy it.

## Six primitives, one coherent practice

Built on Claude · Anthropic. Anthropic ships extraordinary primitives. Most teams use one of them. Orfloat composes all six into systems calibrated to your operation — and stays embedded long enough for the seams to disappear.

- **Primitive 01 — Anthropic API.** Direct access to frontier reasoning. Claude Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku — calibrated to the latency, cost, and judgement each step of your workflow actually needs.
- **Primitive 02 — Claude Code & SDKs.** Agentic coding embedded in your team's workflow. We deploy Claude Code with your repo, your conventions, and a curated set of guardrails specific to your codebase.
- **Primitive 03 — Model Context Protocol.** A common language between Claude and your existing systems. Inventory, POS, ERP, CRM, calendars, sheets — exposed cleanly so the model reasons over real, current state.
- **Primitive 04 — Skills.** Reusable, evaluated capabilities. The right Skill in scope, the wrong ones quietly out of the way — so the agent stays sharp on the work that matters today.
- **Primitive 05 — Plugins & Tools.** Narrow, well-described tools the model can actually use. We design the contract, write the eval, and operate the integration once it's live.
- **Primitive 06 — Claude-managed agents.** Persistent agentic loops with memory, retries, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints — for the work that doesn't finish in a single chat turn.

## 02 — Engagement model: Discovery first. Always.

We will not propose a system before we have understood the work. Every Orfloat engagement begins with a fixed, time-boxed Discovery — because the alternative is shipping a beautiful answer to the wrong question.

- **Phase 01 — Discovery.** Fifteen calendar days, on-site. We shadow the work end to end — front of house, back office, finance, supplier flows. You leave with an audit, an opportunity map, and a calibrated roadmap. *15 days · On-site.*
- **Phase 02 — Service Agreement.** A scoped, milestone-based agreement built from Discovery — never a generic SOW. Effort, dependency, and impact are estimated from evidence, not guessed at. *Calibrated to your roadmap.*
- **Phase 03 — Forward deployment.** Orfloat engineers sit inside the business while we ship. We build, evaluate, train your team to operate the system, and stay close through the first quarter of production. *Embedded · 90-day handover.*
