Capstone Project
AI Platform Architecture Document for Veridian Pay
Design the complete AI platform architecture for Veridian Pay's three AI initiatives (fraud explanation, contract analysis, developer code assist). The architecture must cover: model selection with vendor comparison, RAG pipeline design with chunking and retrieval strategy, inference routing with cost and latency projections, LLMOps CI/CD pipeline, observability stack with OpenTelemetry, and a governance policy covering data handling, content filtering, and audit logging.
What you'll deliver
A complete AI Platform Architecture Document (12-15 pages) with C4 context and container diagrams, ADRs for each major decision, a cost model for 3M tokens/day, and a governance checklist aligned to UK financial services regulations.
