Inference
Inference is running a trained model to produce predictions or generations in production — with cost, latency, and scaling implications.

In regulated enterprise AI
Production inference costs multiply at scale. Derisk360 optimises routing, caching, and model selection as part of AI Ops — not only at pilot stage.
Inference is essential for governed production AI — not optional for regulated deployments
Pilots that skip this discipline typically stall at proof-of-concept
Derisk360 implements through accelerators with embedded Forward Deployed Engineers
Grounding and eval matter more than model selection for enterprise accuracy

Common questions about Inference
- What is Inference?
- Inference is running a trained model to produce predictions or generations in production.
- Why does Inference matter for enterprise AI deployment?
- Inference reduces deployment risk and determines whether agents reach governed production in regulated environments. Without it, pilots stall and compliance teams block go-live.
- How does Inference relate to the 4-Layer Intelligence Stack?
- Inference maps to one or more layers — context, decisions, actions, or outcomes — in Derisk360's architecture for production agentic systems.
- How does Derisk360 implement Inference?
- Through structured AI accelerators and embedded FDEs who implement inference in your VPC — with evaluation and managed operations built in from day one.
- Is this a software product I can licence?
- No. Derisk360 is a services firm. You engage for production outcomes through accelerators and implementations, not shelfware.
