AI deployment for regulated Canadian business

We build and run AI that ships.

Forward-deployed AI engineering for healthcare, pharma, and finance — fixed-fee, shipped to production, PHIPA & PIPEDA by default. We're the team that built and runs Maya.

Canadian data residency PHIPA / PIPEDA by default Fixed-fee, no scope drift

Answering & booking for Ontario clinics, 24/7, in 7+ languages. Our flagship — and your proof we ship.

The integration wall

Most AI never makes it out of the pilot.

The gap is almost never the model. It's integration with your real data, tools, and team — exactly the part a forward-deployed engineer owns.

95%

In MIT's 2025 NANDA study, about 95% of enterprise generative-AI pilots delivered no measurable return — and the divide wasn't the model, it was integration. Solutions built with specialist partners reached production roughly 67% of the time, about three times the rate of internal builds.

We don't just deploy AI in regulated environments — we operate one.

Maya runs in production today inside Ontario healthcare, with the tenant isolation, data-residency, and incident discipline that PHIPA actually demands. That's not a slide — it's a system we keep live. It's the part a generalist agency can't fake and a point-solution vendor hasn't had to earn.

Why Mihron

An engineering firm, not a deck shop.

Ships code, not decks

You get a working, integrated system — not a strategy PDF.

Fixed-fee, no scope drift

Scoped up front. You know the price before we start.

Canadian data residency

Hosted in Canada. PHIPA & PIPEDA-compliant by default.

Regulated-vertical depth

Healthcare and pharma are our home turf, not a new vertical.

May be SR&ED-eligible — scoped honestly

Many engagements may qualify for the federal SR&ED program. Not tax advice — eligibility is determined by CRA.

Proven in production

Maya is live — the clearest proof we deploy, not just advise.

Proof, not a pitch

Maya is live — and it's how we prove we ship.

Maya answers, books, and syncs calendars for Ontario clinics on the same Canadian-hosted, PHIPA-aligned stack we'd build yours on. It's our flagship product and your proof of delivery — buy Maya, or let us build your own.

Why it matters
  • A product already in production
  • Built on the stack we sell
  • Regulated-vertical by design

PIPEDA · validated & logged

Financial services

Compliance-heavy client operations.

Intake & document automation with guardrails.

PIPEDA · SOC 2-aligned controls

How it works

Three steps to shipped.

1

Discovery call

30 minutes, free. We pressure-test where AI actually pays off for you.

2

Readiness Sprint

A ranked, costed map of your highest-ROI use cases — an engineer's blueprint, not a slide deck.

3

Pilot to production

We build, integrate, evaluate, and hand off. We don't leave until it's live and measured.

FAQ

Common questions.

What is a forward-deployed engineer (FDE)?

A senior engineer who embeds with your team to build and ship AI into production — not a consultant who hands you a strategy deck. We own the integration, evaluation, and handoff until the system is live and measured.

How is this different from AI consulting?

Consultants advise; we ship code. Engagements are fixed-fee with a defined deliverable that runs in your environment — not a slide deck or an open-ended hourly retainer.

What does AI deployment cost in Ontario?

Our fixed-fee tiers run from $5,000–9,500 for a Readiness Sprint to $30,000–60,000 for a Pilot-to-Production build; a Fractional AI Lead retainer is $3,500–7,500/month. Many engagements may be SR&ED-eligible — eligibility is determined by CRA, and this is not tax advice.

Is my data kept in Canada?

Yes. We host in Canadian regions and build PHIPA/PIPEDA-compliant by default — the same posture that runs Maya in production today.
