AI ENGINEERING LAB

Choose the right AI architecture—and prove it can operate.

Five browser-based tools for architecture selection, autonomy, evaluations, MCP security, and workload economics.

TOOL 01

Architecture pattern recommender

Start with the least complex pattern that can meet the task, evidence, and control requirements.

RECOMMENDED PATTERN

Deterministic workflow

Use rules and explicit orchestration first.

    TOOL 02

    Agent deployment decision tree

    Use the least autonomous pattern that can meet the workflow requirement safely.

    RECOMMENDATION

    Start with a deterministic workflow

    Use explicit rules and add AI only where language interpretation is necessary.

      TOOL 03

      Evaluation-plan generator

      Describe the task and produce a practical test plan you can copy into a design review.

      TOOL 04

      MCP threat-model builder

      Select the capabilities in scope to generate a control checklist.

      BASELINE CONTROLS

      Start with identity, least privilege, logging, and explicit consent.

        TOOL 05

        AI workload economics calculator

        Estimate ranges for monthly model usage and human-review cost. This is a planning aid—not a provider quote.

        RISK OPERATING MODEL

        Govern, map, measure, manage.

        Use the risk framework to connect engineering evidence with ownership and controls.
