Consultation
For any Surfaces or Inference project.
Work with Steve Chambers
Choose the question you need help with. Bring the understanding you already have.
£750/day
Each package is scoped with you: the surface, available access, deliverables and number of days are agreed before work starts. These are independent starting points, not a compulsory sequence.
You need to understand what is connected and where to look next.
We examine the code, configuration and documentation you can share, and work through the system with your team.
You receive: A readable Surface map with source references, known connections, gaps and prioritised questions for further investigation.
You have a question about data access, tool actions, permissions or a control.
We trace the relevant path and examine the evidence. Where useful and authorised, we agree a bounded experiment to test an assumption.
You receive: An account of what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and practical options for the team that owns the system.
A model, integration, permission or control has changed. You need to know what that affects.
We compare the available before-and-after descriptions, identify affected paths, and agree which checks can establish the result.
You receive: An updated Surface description, findings from the agreed checks, and a record of remaining gaps and follow-up work.
Use n8r-surface yourself, bring an existing map, or ask us to help establish one. You keep the working description and findings.

Featured engagement
Start with one application domain and one chatbot, agent, MCP integration, or AI workflow. Follow identity, data, tools, services, controls, and downstream effects through the real application path.
Inference
Decision support
Start with one project and its workload, constraints and decision. The review recommends a model-and-provider route, then compares shared choices when more projects are in scope.
Compare a capability, provider, model, route, region, plan, terms, or operating condition without turning incomplete evidence into a false recommendation.
The work is bounded around the decision you need to make: establish requirements, preserve material unknowns, compare credible options, and leave an evidence trail another person can inspect.
Bring an inference decisionSome customers need a bounded diagnosis. Others arrive with an active issue and need evidence, correction, and a credible retest. We agree the next decision before extending the engagement.
The constants are explicit authority, careful handling of evidence, practical work alongside the team, and an honest account of what was and was not proven.
Something else?
An ordinary-language outline is enough. Do not send credentials, customer data, prompts, contracts, or confidential architecture.
