AI development for Albuquerque teams, on your working day
The shop is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and it is one person deep. Albuquerque clients are worked with remotely, on a schedule that happens to line up: 7 hours of every working day sit inside both calendars at once.

7 hours of your day, every working day
Albuquerque runs 1 hour ahead of Vancouver. On a normal working day the two calendars overlap from 09:00 to 16:00 Vancouver time, which is 10:00 to 17:00 where you are.
A window that size means questions get answered while they still matter. Nobody sits on a blocker overnight, and a bad assumption gets caught in the hour it was made rather than in the following sprint.
The parts that still get written down are written down anyway: acceptance criteria, the decision log, and what changed in each weekly increment. A shared clock is not an excuse for an undocumented project.
What Albuquerque buyers usually bring us
The record for Albuquerque lists two industries. Here is the part of each one that turns into an engagement, and the service line it lands under.
national laboratories
Technical reports and experimental records need retrieval with citations a reviewer can follow, plus deployment inside an approved boundary.
Recall gets measured before anybody comments on the wording, because a fluent answer drawn from the wrong passage is the worst outcome on offer.
Closest service line: Knowledge bases and retrieval

Certification evidence has to trace to a document revision, so retrieval returns the clause and the revision it came from rather than a confident paraphrase.
Chunking follows the structure of the document instead of a character count, which is the whole difference between a useful index and an expensive one.

Contracts, currency and where the data sits
Invoices are in US dollars. A US buyer engaging a Canadian company is routine, and the form your accounts team will ask for is a W-8BEN-E, which we have ready before the first invoice.
Everything else is the same as it would be for a client down the street from us: scope, a thin slice in week one, then weekly increments you can stop at any time. The distance changes the schedule, not the contract.
The five lines we sell
Same five lines everywhere, Albuquerque included. Most engagements are one of them, sometimes two.
- AI products, built end to end
- Knowledge bases and retrieval
- Codebase and team optimization
- Training and enablement
- Forward-deployed engineering
The languages, models and infrastructure underneath all five are listed on the Magic Ship stack page, with what each one is good for and where it is the wrong choice.
