AI for the industries
where compliance is the gate.
Industry-specialized AI builds for healthcare, legal, and finance. Compliance-aware architecture from day one. Signed BAA + NDA + DPA before we touch your data. Embedded with your IT and compliance teams, not bolted on after.
Custom pricing, fixed scope. Typical engagements run $25k to $150k. We say no to scopes we haven't shipped in your vertical before — that's how we stay credible inside it.
Operators in regulated
verticals who can't risk learning curves.
If a generic AI shop's “we'll figure out the compliance piece” is a deal-killer for you, this is built for you.
- You operate in healthcare, legal, or finance and generic AI shops keep getting your compliance posture wrong
- You've been told “we have a healthcare practice” by 4 consultancies and none of them mentioned a BAA
- Your use case involves PHI, privileged content, or auditable financial decisions
- You need a vendor who will work alongside your compliance team, not around them
- Your in-house counsel asks “where does the data go?” and the answer matters
Outside healthcare, legal, or finance? Our productized builds or 28-Day Audit are the better starting points.
Three industries.
Three compliance postures.
We focus deeply rather than broadly. Each vertical card below shows the regulatory frame, a sample use case, and the data-handling architecture we use before any model touches your data.
Healthcare
Clinical intake triage, prior auth automation, documentation drafting, patient communication. We sign a BAA before kickoff and architect for PHI handling from day one — no PHI in third-party models without DPAs.
Legal
Document review, contract redlining, deposition prep, brief drafting, billing-narrative cleanup. Every output is citation-anchored to source documents. We protect privilege via matter-scoped retrieval and segregated indexes.
Finance
Risk classification, fraud-signal triage, KYC document extraction, compliance-question answering, advisor-supervisor co-pilot patterns. Full audit log on every model call. Required-human-in-loop where the regulator says so.
Compliance first.
Then code.
Four steps. No data touches our environment until the BAA / NDA / DPA are signed.
Industry scoping call (free)
30 minutes. We map your use case against case studies from your vertical, flag the compliance gates we'll hit, and tell you honestly if Vertical AI is the right tier — or if a productized build / 28-Day Audit fits better.
BAA + NDA + statement of work
Before we touch any data: signed BAA (healthcare), mutual NDA, scope statement with fixed deliverables, fixed price, fixed timeline. No T&M billing surprises.
Embedded build · 6 to 16 weeks
Our team works alongside your compliance + IT teams. Weekly demos, async Slack, biweekly milestone reviews. Every model output traceable to a source and an audit log from day one.
Handoff + 90-day operate
Code lives in your repo. We run the system for 90 days after launch — watching evals, tuning prompts, drilling failure modes — then hand off to your team. Extended-operate retainer available.
BAA + NDA + DPA standard
Templates ready to extend to your specifics, or we work from yours. 3 to 5 business days from first redline to executed.
Insured · $2M E&O, $1M cyber
Certificates of insurance with you as additional insured before kickoff. Extended coverage on a per-engagement basis for larger builds.
Audit log on every model call
Built in from day one. Required-human-in-loop where your regulator says so. Designed to survive a real audit.
Specialized,
or generic.
Three real options for getting AI into a regulated business. Pick the one that matches your stage — and we'll be honest if you're in the wrong tier.
Vertical AI consulting
- Deliverable

- Right fit
- You need it built, ownership transferred, regulator-ready
Three industries.
Three deployed systems.
“The first vendor we talked to didn't know what a BAA was. Nolola had one signed by day three and a PHI-handling architecture document by week two. The clinical team trusted it because compliance trusted it.”
“We needed a contract-review co-pilot that preserved privilege and didn't hallucinate citations. They architected matter-scoped retrieval, every answer is anchored to a source paragraph, and our partners actually use it daily.”
“Audit log on every model call. That was the unlock for our compliance team. We shipped a KYC-extraction system that our regulator was comfortable with on the first review — saved us 4 months of back-and-forth.”
Common questions
Three things: (1) we've shipped AI builds in your vertical before, so we don't learn your compliance posture on your dime, (2) the architecture decisions (where data lives, what models touch what, how outputs get logged) are made up-front against your regulatory reality, (3) the case studies we reference are from your industry, not adjacent ones. We say no to engagements outside our three verticals — that's how we stay credible inside them.
Healthcare: signed BAA before kickoff, PHI never sent to a model without a DPA in place (most engagements use models with HIPAA-eligible Anthropic / OpenAI / Bedrock contracts; some run fully on-prem). Legal: matter-scoped retrieval indexes, citation-anchored outputs, no cross-matter data leakage. Finance: full audit log on every model call, required-human-in-loop where the regulator requires it. Specifics get documented in the SOW.
Yes — that's the norm. Most Vertical AI engagements involve your CISO, in-house counsel, or compliance officer in week-1 architecture review. We'd rather have them push back early and adjust scope than ship something they kill at the security review. We provide architecture docs, data-flow diagrams, and DPA / BAA templates that your team can extend.
$25k to $150k for the build, depending on scope. Six-week sprints (single workflow, single integration) land near $25-40k. Sixteen-week multi-workflow systems with compliance reviews built in run $80-150k. Custom pricing — every engagement starts with a free scoping call.
$2M professional liability and $1M cyber, scaled by engagement as required. We can provide certificates of insurance with your org as additional insured before kickoff. For larger healthcare or finance engagements we extend coverage on a per-project basis.
Yes, all three. We have standard templates ready to extend to your specifics or work from yours. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days from first redline. Most engagements have BAA + mutual NDA + DPA fully executed before any data touches our environment.
For teams who want the knowledge in-house, we run an 8-week advanced cohort (“Vertical AI: Healthcare / Legal / Finance”) at $1,500 per seat. Industry-specific case studies, regulatory posture, and a capstone project. Not a substitute for the consulting engagement when you need an actual build — but a strong fit if your team is going to run a long-tail of AI projects in-house.
Single-workflow engagements: 6 to 8 weeks. Multi-workflow, multi-stakeholder builds: 12 to 16 weeks. Both windows include the 90-day operate period after launch — we run the system while your team learns to. Faster is possible if regulatory review allows; we won't rush past a compliance gate.
