Pilots stall
More than 90% of enterprise AI projects are cancelled — often built with partners who lack production track records.
Manual data burden
60–80% of skilled employees' time goes to manual data retrieval, cleaning, and formatting.
Legacy rigidity
Existing enterprise platforms are too rigid to exploit AI without flexible, enterprise-grade agentic systems.
Distrust from failed delivery
Traditional partners have not cracked agentic delivery — driving uncertainty and cancelled programmes.
Ten structured accelerators — from data and context engineering through MCP, knowledge graphs, agentic transformation, evaluation and guardrails, to 24/7 managed operations. Typical discovery-to-go-live acceleration of 50–70%, then secure deployment in your cloud with a model-agnostic LLM/SLM mix.

| Aspect | Traditional approach | Derisk360 |
|---|---|---|
| Deliverable | Slide decks, pilots, proofs-of-concept | Governed agents running in production |
| Engagement model | Billed by the hour, measured by headcount | Outcome-based services: you buy results, not hours |
| Post go-live | Team leaves at end of engagement | 24/7 monitoring, evaluation, and tuning |
| Evaluation | None once live | Continuous evaluation built in from day one |
- Live in production at OdysseyRe with further rollout planned — outpacing many peers on generative AI adoption.
