Why SRA Group

Speed, efficiency, and cost — without cutting the corners that matter

Most "AI dev shops" sell you speed by skipping governance, security, and real engineering discipline. We built our own AI compliance platform first — because we don't ship agentic systems we wouldn't trust with our own data.

Rapid, value-driven delivery

0 to working MVP in 2 weeks for $10-15K. MVP to next revision moves just as fast, priced the same way — against value delivered, not hours billed.

25 years of real engineering

Deep roots in R&D and hands-on advisory work with Fortune 500 teams — not prompt-and-pray development. We've been building production systems since before "agentic" was a category.

Compliance built in, not bolted on

Every agentic application we build runs through Aperion Smartflow — our own AI gateway and governance platform — so PII handling, audit trails, and policy enforcement are there from day one.

US-based. No offshore labor.

Every engineer on your project is based in the US and has been through the work before. No handoffs across time zones, no black-box subcontracting.

How We Work

Two stages. Both priced against value, not hours.

We scope tightly, build fast, and get something real in front of your team before most shops finish discovery.

1

Scope call

A focused conversation to nail down the one workflow worth automating first.

2

Build

Engineers, not a project queue. Daily visibility into what's shipping.

3

MVP in your hands

A working, governed agentic application — not a slide deck — inside 2 weeks.

4

Next revision

Scoped and priced the same value-driven way, as fast as the roadmap allows.

Stage 2

MVP to Next Rev

Scoped per revision
  • Same value-driven pricing model, no surprise retainers
  • Hardening, scale, and integration work as usage grows
  • Compliance and audit evidence expands with the feature set
  • Same engineers who built the MVP — no re-onboarding a new team
  • Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed before work starts

Who We Build For

Regulated industry is our default, not our exception

We design for audit trails, data residency, and governance from the first commit — because that's the environment our clients actually operate in.

Regulated Industry

Agentic workflows built to hold up under audit — policy enforcement and evidence generation from day one.

Manufacturing

Operational and supply-chain automation where downtime and errors carry real cost.

Healthcare

PHI-aware agentic applications with compliance and data handling designed in, not retrofitted.

Finance

High-stakes, high-scrutiny workflows where every model call needs to be explainable and logged.

What We've Built

The engineering team behind Aperion Smartflow & DDA

SRA Group isn't a staffing pass-through — we build and operate our own production platforms, then bring that same engineering discipline to client work.

Flagship platform

Aperion Smartflow

An AI gateway and governance platform: intelligent routing, semantic caching, compliance scanning, and audit-ready evidence for enterprise AI traffic — run on-prem or in your own cloud.

Internal platform

DDA

Purpose-built tooling developed in-house, applying the same engineering-first, compliance-aware standard we bring to every client engagement.

Client work

Agentic applications

A growing portfolio of production agentic systems for regulated clients — each one governed through the same Smartflow platform we run ourselves.

Who's Behind This

25 years of engineering, not 25 days of prompting

Our team's background is deep R&D and direct advisory work inside Fortune 500 organizations — the kind of experience that tells you which AI ideas will survive contact with a real compliance review, and which won't.

Scott Ancheta, Founder

Scott spent two decades at Cisco and Dell designing and personally deploying enterprise network and software architecture for companies like GM, Ford, Comerica, Fiat Chrysler, Cartier, and Marriott — standing up the systems, not just diagramming them. Out there, a bad design isn't a bad demo. It's a multi-million dollar problem, and someone has to be on-site when it goes live, not just in the room when it gets approved.

That's the standard he brought to SRA Group: hundreds of thousands of lines of shipped code, several products built and put in front of real customers, solving actual business problems instead of chasing prototypes. He's also become a go-to voice on AI governance and compliance policy — the part of "agentic AI" most shops skip until it's too late.

Cosmo the cat, unofficial Head of QA at SRA Group of Texas

Cosmo — Head of QA (self-appointed). Nothing ships without a thorough sniff test first.

Engineering, not vibe coding

Two decades-plus of production software and R&D experience across hardware, embedded systems, and enterprise software — applied to agentic AI instead of guessed at.

Governed by design

Every engagement runs through Aperion Smartflow — our own AI governance and compliance platform — so client data stays safe and every model call is auditable from the start.
