Superintelligence in production.

Cytoscan Systems is an engineering firm. We build and run the software intelligent systems depend on — computer vision, applied AI, distributed infrastructure, and environments that have to pass defence and medical certification.

What we build

Four practices. Each one ships something you can run a business on, not a demo you have to babysit.

object 0.97 frame in decision out

Computer vision

Detection, recognition, and inspection pipelines that turn raw imagery into decisions fast enough to act on — on a line, in a vehicle, or at the edge.

  • Real-time inference
  • Defect & inspection
  • Camera and sensor integration
  • Edge and on-device deployment

Applied AI

Taking a model from a promising result to a service that runs every day — with evaluation you trust, monitoring that catches drift, and a defined answer for when it's wrong.

  • Evaluation harnesses
  • Serving and scaling
  • Drift and quality monitoring
  • Fallback and human review paths
node down traffic rerouted · no data loss

Distributed infrastructure

Orchestration, observability, and fault tolerance for services that scale horizontally without drifting out of sync. Built so a bad night is an alert, not an outage.

  • Orchestration and deployment
  • Observability and tracing
  • Failover and recovery
  • Capacity and cost planning

Regulated & secure systems

Hardened engineering for defence and medical-device environments — where the system has to survive an audit as well as a load test, and every change has to be accounted for.

  • Threat modelling
  • Secure development lifecycle
  • Traceability and audit trails
  • Certification support

Platform & product engineering

The rest of it: bespoke enterprise applications engineered end to end. Scalable backbones, real test coverage, and a handover that includes documentation and an on-call story — so the system outlives the engagement.

  • Application platforms
  • Internal tools
  • Data pipelines and products
  • Integration and migration

How we work

Every engagement runs this sequence. Nothing moves forward until the step before it is written down.

  1. 01

    Frame

    We define the problem, the constraints, and what is actually worth building. You get a written scope before anyone writes code.

  2. 02

    Architect

    We design for the load, failure modes, and change you will really see. Every significant decision is documented and defensible.

  3. 03

    Engineer

    We build it — with tests, review, and instrumentation from the first commit, not bolted on before launch.

  4. 04

    Run

    We deploy, monitor, and keep it running. Handover includes documentation, runbooks, and a clear on-call story.

Research on one side. Production on the other.

Cytoscan Systems is the engineering arm of Cytoscan Research. Research gives us methods that have actually been tested. Production gives research problems that are actually real. Most firms have one side of that; we run both, and the loop is the point.

Cytoscan Research → methods, evaluation, prior art
Cytoscan Systems → architecture, delivery, operations
