About
Michael Coughlanone builder, not a team page.
I work across product, programme delivery and software. Rametric is where I apply that experience to practical AI: documents, local models, automation and focused applications.
Why this exists
The interesting problem is rarely “which chatbot?”
It is usually: where does the data live, who is allowed to see it, what work needs doing, and where should a person remain responsible?
That leads to deliberately small systems. A local model when the material is sensitive. A hosted model when it is appropriate. Retrieval when a model needs your documents. Automation when a person is wasting time moving information between screens.
The public projects on this site are examples of that approach rather than a portfolio of invented client case studies.
How I work
01 · Understand
Map the information, workflow, users, constraints and failure modes before choosing technology.
02 · Bound
Decide what stays local, what can use a hosted service, and where a human needs to approve the result.
03 · Build
Deliver a small working system first, then add complexity only when the workflow proves it is needed.
