Sound familiar?
The idea isn’t the hard part. Getting it into production is.
- AI pilots that stalled before production
- Security reviews exposing old decisions
- Legacy systems blocking anything new
- Hiring timelines that miss your delivery window

Is this the right fit?
A straight answer, up front.
We’re a great fit if
- The problem is expensive to ignore.
- There’s a funded initiative and an owner.
- Security and integrations aren’t negotiable.
We’re probably not the fit if
- Hourly rate is the only comparison.
- You want a demo, not a working system.
- There’s no sponsor or timeline yet.
Frequently asked questions
What enterprise teams ask us first.
Where do enterprise engagements usually start?
Most start with a fixed-scope assessment: an AI Readiness Assessment (2–4 weeks) or a Security & Scalability Review (3–4 weeks). You get a prioritized plan with cost estimates, and you can take it to any vendor, including us.
How do you use AI in your own delivery?
We use AI across discovery, coding, testing, and documentation to move faster. Senior engineers review and own everything that ships, and client data only goes into tools and environments you’ve approved.
Can you work alongside our internal engineering team?
That’s usually where we fit best. Your team knows the business. We add depth in governed AI, modernization, and compliance-aware architecture, and we work inside your tools, standards, and cadence.
How do you handle HIPAA, SOC 2, and audits?
We design for them from the start: HIPAA-aligned architecture, SOC 2-aware processes, HITRUST-aware design, PHI boundaries, role-based access, and audit logging. For AI, we add output logging, data-handling controls, and explainability where decisions affect customers.
We’re still exploring AI. Is it too early to talk?
Not at all. The readiness assessment exists for exactly this moment: figuring out where AI creates real value and where it just creates risk.
Where is Big Kitty Labs based?
We’re headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and we work with enterprise teams across the US.
