01

Private boundary

Private AI Core

Models run in a customer-controlled environment. Compute, network, identity, logs, backups and version rollback define the control plane; sensitive data remains within the authorized boundary and external connections are explicitly configured.

  • Reverse outbound connection— The customer-side server establishes the outbound connection; no public service port is opened on the firewall.
  • Relay does not hold keys— Transport is end-to-end encrypted; the relay does not hold keys needed to decrypt business data.
  • Identity- and project-based access— Apply least-privilege access by person, project and data scope, with isolation, revocation and periodic review.
  • Full-process audit— Connections, retrieval, file access, configuration changes and model calls leave queryable audit records.

Model factory

Domain Model Factory

The same standard may be interpreted and applied differently across institutions, with much of that judgment not captured in structured policy. A general model does not automatically know institution-specific knowledge and standards; the work is to build governed enterprise knowledge and task capability.

  • Corpus governance— Clean, deduplicate, classify and de-identify content; create a permission-tagged corpus ledger as the foundation for model adaptation.
  • Continued domain pretraining (CPT)— Absorb domain terminology, regulatory language, writing conventions and abbreviations so the model understands the domain consistently.
  • Task fine-tuning (SFT / PEFT)— Separate adapters by task or specialty and evaluate, release, update and roll them back independently.
  • Preference alignment and evaluation— Build preference data from historical review decisions and real tasks, with reviewable offline and production evaluation sets.

Agent workflow

Agentic Workflow

The system goes beyond question answering. An agent receives tasks, identifies files, retrieves evidence, calls tools, applies rules and produces results while escalating missing information, conflicts and high-risk matters to people. Every step can be traced, reviewed and rolled back when needed.

  • Source text can be verified— Link output to source text and identify the standard, version, clause and applicability marker.
  • No evidence, no delivery claim— A feature without a source, version or validation path is not represented as a delivered capability.
  • Explicit conflicts and gaps— Mark missing information, conflicting conditions and out-of-scope cases instead of forcing a definitive answer.
  • Risk-based human escalation— Route high-risk or low-confidence matters to human review, with the automation boundary visible in the trace.

Business world model

World Model

Represent business entities, states, constraints, actions and outcomes in a bounded industry world model. In regulatory, engineering, operating and risk scenarios, simulate option impacts first and give decision-makers an explainable evidence trail.

  • Scope and state space are explicit— Simulate only within defined business boundaries and state variables; do not extrapolate a bounded model into a real-world forecast.
  • Rule sources are traceable— Mandatory provisions, national/industry/local standards, local supplements, contract terms and internal practices retain source and version information.
  • Impact chains and evidence are visible— Trace the impact path across compliance, cost, schedule and approval; link every conclusion to its evidence and assumptions.
  • Decision and execution authority remain with people— Record options, selections and rationale as versioned audit entries; professionals make the final determination.

Standing agent

Standing Agents

The earlier modules mainly support one-off task completion. Other work requires continuous monitoring: model clashes, drawing-version consistency, standards compliance, list changes and policy updates requirea rule-based monitoring mechanism that keeps running.

After configuring the monitored objects, rule set and notification policy, the agent runs on a schedule, scans continuously and reports only changes without repeated instructions.

  • Configure once, run continuously— Configure the scope, rules, alert levels and recipients together, with controlled updates later.
  • Report changes, not noise— Do not repeat the same issue; notify only on new, resolved or risk-level changes.
  • Alerts include evidence— Each alert includes the object ID, matched rule, model version and scan time for review.
  • Monitor continuously; do not replace decisions— The system detects and alerts; remediation, changes and sign-off remain subject to human approval.

Governance · Capability boundaries

Capability boundaries and
public language

This is not marketing language. It is our public description of product capability, conditions of use and accountability boundaries. We commit only to what can be validated, delivered and audited; the remaining boundaries are stated just as clearly.

Capability area
What we can substantiate publicly
Explicit boundaries and claims we do not make
Data security
Deployment can remain within a customer-authorized environment; external calls are explicitly configured by the enterprise; transport is end-to-end encrypted and relays do not hold decryption keys. The actual boundary depends on architecture, network policy and security validation, as well as applicable law and agreed data-processing terms.
We do not make a blanket “never leaves the environment” claim. A no-egress claim requires a verified fully offline architecture and appropriate controls.
Accuracy
Citations are traceable, versions are identifiable and evaluations are reviewable; high-risk matters retain human review and final decision authority.
We do not promise to eliminate every hallucination or claim 100% accuracy. Model output is not a fact or professional opinion without appropriate review.
Pretraining and adaptation
We support continued domain pretraining, supervised fine-tuning, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, preference alignment, distillation, quantization and evaluation to help customers build manageable, iterative model assets.
We do not promise to train a foundation model from scratch for every enterprise. The appropriate level of adaptation depends on data, compute, the target task and validation results.
World Model
Within a clearly bounded business domain, simulate state changes and option impacts using enterprise rules, historical data and explicit assumptions for scenario analysis and decision validation.
We do not claim to understand or predict the entire real world, decide an enterprise’s future, or present a bounded simulation as a real-world forecast.
Agent
Within its authorization, the agent can call tools, execute steps, record the process and escalate uncertain or high-risk matters to people.
We do not claim that an agent can handle every business process without supervision. It does not bypass permissions, approvals or accountable owners, and it does not replace professional judgment.
Continuous learning
Feedback can update knowledge, models or workflows; changes move forward only after testing, approval, version control and rollback validation.
The system is not allowed to change its production behavior without approval. Continuous updating is not uncontrolled self-evolution.
Project delivery process

From pilot to reliable operation

Define the goals for one specific task, then use measured results to assess value, implementation cost and readiness to scale.

  1. Define scope and goals

    Map the workflow, materials and tools. Use redacted examples to define task boundaries and evaluation criteria.

  2. Build and evaluate a pilot

    Evaluate output quality, processing efficiency and review procedures on representative tasks, alongside implementation effort.

  3. Deploy and refine

    Choose deployment around data and operational requirements, integrate with existing workflows and expand after stable operation.

Before you start

FAQ

Before you start.

How do we start without a technical plan?

Start with the task you want to improve, the current workflow and its main challenges. We assess whether AI is suitable before defining the approach and implementation scope.

Do I need to buy a server first?

No. You can start with cloud compute or existing hardware. Deployment depends on the task, data requirements and budget.

Can AI integrate with our existing systems?

We prioritize connecting existing systems. We first assess interfaces and permissions to identify what can connect and what needs adjustment.

How do we evaluate project value?

Agree on measures such as output quality, search time, throughput and review effort. Use pilot results to assess benefits and costs before expanding the scope.
