It doesn't sound like your brand
Tone, forms of address, and boundaries drift; it sounds like a generic assistant.
LLM POST-TRAINING STUDIO
TailorLM helps teams with a clear task and real data post-train open-source LLMs. Diagnose first, then train; accept on a reproducible test set.
Founding clients: 20% off the first three projects · diagnostic fee credited
Tone, forms of address, and boundaries drift; it sounds like a generic assistant.
By turn ten it forgets who it is, what it can do, and what it must not do.
JSON, arguments, and refusal boundaries fail; retries don't fix it.
Knowledge improved, but behavior and voice are still inconsistent.
The business metric, the regression result, and a model you can actually run matter more than a loss curve.
From A to B, written into the SOW before training; no moving the goalposts.
The same questions and rubric before and after; reproducible.
The target improves without the model getting noticeably worse elsewhere.
Adapter or model, inference example, deployment notes, failure cases, and limitations.
Decide whether training is worth it; define metrics and budget.
3–5 daysBuild the test set, measure the current model, clean the training data.
1–2 weeksValidate the direction on a small, high-quality sample.
1–2 weeksFull training, evaluation, regression, packaging, and deployment notes.

FOUNDING CLIENTS
The first three clients get 20% off in exchange for an anonymized case and feedback. Cases are published only with written permission.
Not every problem is a training problem. The diagnostic separates a knowledge gap from a behavior gap and a workflow gap. If prompt engineering, retrieval, or a process change is enough, we will say so instead of selling training.
We do not publish unverified work. The first three clients join at a founding price; after delivery we publish a redacted case only with written permission.
Client data never enters git. It lives in encrypted object storage, referenced by manifest and hash. Training and evaluation are isolated, and data is deleted or archived as agreed at the end of the project. Please do not send unredacted data or secrets in the first email.
