V53 AI ClusterNODUM AI

NODUM AI is the applied AI engineering arm of the V53 AI Cluster — the infrastructure and competence network enabling production-grade AI for European industry, research and the public sector.

Infra enabling AI

Six ways we put
AI to work.

Every engagement is time-boxed, fixed-price and outcome-led. We help you validate, ship, scale and adopt — without the consulting theatre.

01

Prototyping & PoC (FDE)

4–8 weeks

The fastest path from AI idea to working prototype. Time-boxed engagements for document Q&A, customer support AI, data extraction, AI search and automated workflows. We know which approaches fail before they waste your budget.

Validate · De-risk · Hand off
02

AI Strategy

6–12 weeks

The AI strategy partner for companies too serious for generic consultants and too agile for the Big Four. Process and data audits, use-case prioritisation, build-vs-buy, governance and a sequenced roadmap with real ROI projections.

Audit · Roadmap · ROI
03

Change Management

2–4 months

The AI adoption-rate specialist. 70% of AI implementations fail on the people side. We map stakeholder resistance, design communication and culture, enable middle managers, and navigate works councils — in parallel with the build.

Adoption · Culture · Enablement
04

Full Software Development

Production-grade

End-to-end engineering of AI-powered software: conversational platforms, agent systems, document pipelines, predictive analytics and AI-enhanced SaaS. GDPR-native by design, enterprise security from day one, transparent delivery.

Ship · Scale · Comply
05

FDE Training — Bootcamp Style

Cohort-based

Upskilling for in-house engineering and data teams. Bootcamp-style FDE preparation that fills concrete gaps in skills and knowledge — so your people can keep the systems running long after the engagement ends.

Cloud Repatriation

EU-sovereign · multicloud

Move your AI workloads to EU sovereign clouds or your own private cloud. Architecture reshaping, multicloud design and migration — without losing performance or breaking the budget.

The competence
hub behind V53.

Transform your organisation with advanced AI engineering — built for the real world, not the demo room.

NODUM AI is the applied AI engineering arm of the V53 AI Cluster. We design and deliver production-grade, sector-intelligent AI systems for complex, regulated and data-intensive environments — finance, healthcare, industry, energy, the public sector.

We engineer tailored AI systems that integrate deeply into real industrial operations, creating measurable operational and strategic value. No generic templates. No off-the-shelf chatbots dressed up as transformation.

As part of V53, we are backed by an HPC and infrastructure network that makes EU-sovereign, high-performance AI a real option — not a slide in a strategy deck.

Where we are
deep.

The technical surface area we cover end-to-end — from research to production, from data to deployment, from architecture to adoption.

01

Large Language Models & RAG

Fine-tuning, retrieval pipelines, evaluation, guardrails.

02

AI Agents & Automation

Multi-step autonomous agents, tool use, human-in-the-loop.

03

MLOps & Production AI

Model serving, observability, CI/CD for ML, drift monitoring.

04

HPC & Distributed Training

GPU clusters, distributed fine-tuning, inference optimisation.

05

Data Engineering for AI

Pipelines, vector stores, embeddings, structured + unstructured.

06

Computer Vision

Inspection, OCR, document understanding, real-time inference.

07

EU Sovereign Cloud

Architecture for OVHcloud, Scaleway, on-prem and hybrid setups.

08

AI Governance & Compliance

EU AI Act readiness, GDPR by design, model risk management.

Four principles
we will not compromise on.

We are the AI engineering firm that ships production-grade systems — not proof-of-concepts that get archived. These four principles are how we keep that promise.

01

Production-first

We build systems that ship — not slide decks or proofs that never leave the lab.

02

Sector-intelligent

Deep context for regulated and data-intensive industries: finance, healthcare, industry, public sector.

03

Sovereign by default

GDPR-native, EU-sovereign cloud and on-prem options. Your data stays where it belongs.

04

Speed-to-value

Weeks, not quarters. Time-boxed engagements with measurable outcomes at every gate.

From signal
to system.

Four stages. Each one is time-boxed and ends with a decision gate, so you are never locked into a phase that is no longer earning its place.

01

Discover

Audit processes and data assets. Frame the right problem and quantify the prize. One week, max two.

02

Prototype

Build a working prototype against real data. Validate technical feasibility and ROI before further investment.

03

Engineer

Production build on enterprise-grade infrastructure. GDPR-native, observable, secure, scalable.

04

Adopt

Roll out with change management, enablement and handover. Your team owns the system when we leave.

Questions
people ask.

Anything not answered here — email hello@nodumai.eu.

How do engagements typically start?

With a short discovery call to understand the problem, then a one-page proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed price. Most prototype engagements start within two weeks of the first conversation.

What does pricing look like?

Time-boxed engagements with fixed prices. Prototype/PoC runs in the low-to-mid five-figure range. Strategy and full development scale with scope. No open-ended hourly retainers, no surprise invoices.

Who owns the IP and the data?

You do. Code, models and data are yours from day one. We operate under NDA and standard EU data-processing agreements, and the contract makes IP transfer explicit.

What is the typical timeline?

Prototype: 4–8 weeks. Strategy roadmap: 6–12 weeks. Full software build: 3–9 months depending on scope. Change management runs in parallel with delivery.

What technology stack do you work in?

Python, TypeScript, modern LLM frameworks, vector databases, Kubernetes, EU sovereign clouds (OVHcloud, Scaleway), on-prem GPU. We pick the stack to fit the problem and your existing platform — not the other way round.

Where are you based and do you travel?

We are EU-based and operate across the EU and the UK. Most work happens remotely with on-site workshops at key milestones. We travel when it materially moves the project forward.

What do you need from us to get started?

A named business sponsor, access to a few subject-matter experts for a handful of structured sessions, and representative data under an NDA. That is enough to launch a prototype.
