Outsourcing AI development to Canada. Lower risk. Lower cost.

Why building enterprise AI in Canada can cut risk and cost at the same time — with Responsible AI baked in from day one.

When AI writes the code, code becomes a commodity. The real question is what you're actually buying. We think it's risk mitigation — because the true cost of enterprise AI is what happens when it goes wrong.

The three risks you're really paying to avoid

  • Hallucinations — confident answers that are simply wrong and drive bad decisions at scale.
  • Data leaks — sensitive information ending up somewhere it should never go.
  • Compliance violations — rules broken at machine speed across thousands of interactions.

That's why Silverberry builds Responsible AI by Design into every project — deterministic guardrails the AI can't talk its way around, continuous bias monitoring, and strict data isolation so your data stays yours. WoundScribe, our multi-agent healthcare platform spanning imaging, ambient scribing, charting, coding and patient education, is built to that bar, because in healthcare a hallucination isn't a bug — it's a patient-safety risk.

Why Canada, and why the math works

Canada isn't offshore, it's next door — shared time zones, a similar legal system, and strong IP protection. A few things stack up:

  1. One Canadian dollar costs roughly 71 US cents — a built-in advantage on every hour of work.
  2. The SR&ED program refunds up to 35% of qualifying R&D spend, on up to $6M a year, with provinces adding more.
  3. Planned upfront with tax advisors, those savings can flow straight into your project rate.

Picture the same AI project built in the US. Now build it in Canada, billed in CAD, with eligible R&D credits applied. The numbers start to look very different — same continent, lower risk, lower cost. Ready to scope your next build? Connect with Silverberry.
