You need a system that survives in production, not a prototype. Hire Claude AI developers and certified architects verified by Anthropic on the parts where AI projects break: orchestration, escalation, cost, and integration.
Getting a system into production and keeping it there is where projects stall. The hard parts sit in a few predictable places. Claude Certified Architect (CCA-F) is verified for exactly these.
Share your goals, stack, and timeline. We map them to the exact architecture skills your project needs.
Within days, you receive a shortlist of certified architects whose experience fits your domain and engagement model.
Meet the architects, run your own technical assessment, and choose who joins. You stay in control of the decision.
Our architects are experienced and adaptable, so they integrate quickly into your team and workflow.
Add architects as the work grows or wind down as you stabilize, with no long-term lock-in.
Every engagement starts with a clear scope and an accountable architect
Our engineers are senior or mid-level, so the people designing your AI systems have built complex platforms before.
Our architects hold Anthropic’s official certification, and we can provide verification upon request.
We are ISO 27001:2022 certified and HIPAA-ready, with clear IP and data handling policies for every AI tool we use. Your codebase and data stay protected.
Relevant has built revenue-generating products for SaaS, fintech, healthtech, real estate, and other regulated, high-traffic markets.
The same engineers stay with your project from kickoff through ongoing support, so you avoid re-onboarding, lost context, and delivery disruption.
Verified clients and third-party reviews mean transparency and delivery quality.
It’s Anthropic’s first official technical credential, the Claude Certified Architect, Foundations (CCA-F), launched on March 12, 2026. It isn’t a course-completion badge. The exam runs for 120 minutes and consists of 60 scenario-driven questions based on real production situations, ranging from multi-agent system design to deciding when an agent should escalate to a human. It validates five competencies that determine whether an AI system survives production: agentic system design, Claude Code workflows, prompt engineering, tool orchestration, and context management.
For you, it works as independent, third-party proof that the person architecting your system was tested on the hard parts by the company that builds the models.
Every engagement starts with you interviewing the shortlisted architects and running your own technical assessment, so the fit is confirmed before anyone begins. If an architect turns out not to be right once work is underway, whether the technical match, working style, or seniority isn’t what you need, we replace them and manage the transition so context isn’t lost in the handover.
Our engagements are documented as they run, allowing changes without resetting your timeline. In practice, this is rare; with 96% retention and a deliberate matching process, most architects stay through the engagement.
Yes. It’s issued directly by Anthropic and sits within the Claude Partner Network, the program Anthropic launched alongside it in 2026 with a $100 million commitment. You can verify each architect’s credentials upon request.
Yes, and for most clients it’s the better way to begin. You don’t have to commit to a full build to find out whether the approach and the architect are right. A typical starting point is a focused initial engagement (a discovery and architecture phase or a proof of concept), where a certified architect maps your goals, validates the technical approach, and provides a concrete plan and estimate before any major commitment.
Starting small lets you judge the work on evidence, and it keeps your initial exposure low while the highest-uncertainty questions get answered first. From there, you can scale into a dedicated team or a full project as confidence grows.
You own all work products and IP produced during your engagement, subject to the contractual terms agreed before kickoff. We maintain defined IP and data-handling policies for every model and tool in the stack, and we’re ISO 27001:2022 certified and HIPAA-ready with GDPR-compliant processes. That matters if you operate in healthtech, fintech, or another regulated market.
Pricing depends on the engagement model, seniority mix, and scope, so we provide a tailored quote rather than a fixed-rate card. The clearest starting point is a short discovery engagement: a certified architect produces a validated scope, architecture plan, and build estimate up front, so you see the cost and the plan before committing to the full build.
Within 5 business days of our first conversation, you receive a shortlist matched to your domain, stack, and engagement model. Because certified architects are already on our team, that shortlist is real availability.
From there, the pace is set by you. You interview the shortlist and run your own technical assessment on your schedule, so the architect is confirmed before any commitment. Most clients complete this within a few days.
Once you’ve chosen, onboarding is measured in days. Our architects are senior and have shipped production systems before, so they read your stack and start contributing without a long ramp. For staff augmentation, that often means an architect is working inside your team within the first week of selection. For a dedicated team or project engagement, kickoff and discovery typically begin within a week.
Hiring directly can work if you have the time to find, vet, and manage a scarce specialist, and the bench to absorb the risk if it doesn’t work out. Most teams don’t, and that’s where hiring through Relevant changes the equation.
Three things come with the engagement that a direct hire doesn’t.
