Takeaway

A clear research handoff document and repeatable service architecture help frontier ML prototypes become maintainable production features.

Summary

  • Higharc's home-building product combines computer vision, custom transformers, diffusion, and reasoning agents, requiring a careful handoff between researchers and production engineers.
  • A research prototype taxonomy document records domain representations, business value, type contracts, persistence, architecture, and the path to integration.
  • A Python monorepo isolates research capabilities into decoupled microservices behind a gateway, with API, business-logic, and data layers.
  • FastAPI services, reproducible build metadata, dependency locks, and shared CI checks give research prototypes a consistent production structure.
