Our technology

Enterprise AI, built on
rigorous foundations.

Model-agnostic, sovereignty-first and auditable end to end — from data ingestion through to the interface a caseworker actually uses.


The AI stack

Four layers. Complete coverage.

Every layer is ours to operate or yours to own. Nothing in the stack assumes a connection to a service you do not control.

L4 · Application layer

What your staff and citizens actually touch. Interfaces, gateways and the audit trail that makes them defensible.

  • API gateway

    Versioned, rate-limited endpoints your existing systems can call.

  • Copilot interfaces

    Task-shaped assistants embedded in the tools staff already use.

  • Audit logging

    Every prompt, retrieval and response recorded and exportable.

  • Access control

    Role and clearance-aware permissions enforced at the model boundary.

L3 · Inference layer

Where the model runs, under a latency SLA. Serving, scaling and retrieval engineered for production load, not demos.

p95 latency · 12 months
  • Inference optimization

    Quantisation, batching and caching to hold cost per query flat.

  • Autoscaling clusters

    Capacity that follows demand across GPU and CPU pools.

  • RAG retrieval engine

    Grounded answers with citations back to the source document.

  • <100ms latency SLA

    Measured at p95, contractual, with penalties we are willing to sign.

L2 · Model layer

The model is tuned to your domain, not rented from someone else’s. We select, fine-tune and evaluate — and you keep the weights.

evaluation sweep · 5 candidate models
  • Foundation model selection

    Open-weight and commercial models benchmarked against your own tasks.

  • Fine-tuning & RLHF

    Supervised and preference tuning on your data, on your hardware.

  • Alignment & red-teaming

    Adversarial testing against the failure modes your regulator cares about.

  • Model evaluation

    Task-level scorecards with a pass mark agreed before we start.

L1 · Data layer

Your data never leaves your perimeter. We ingest, clean and index it inside your own environment, then hand you the keys.

your perimeter
  • Data ingestion pipelines

    Batch and streaming connectors into your existing warehouses and record systems.

  • Preprocessing & cleaning

    Deduplication, PII handling and normalisation before anything reaches a model.

  • Vector embeddings

    Domain-tuned indexes that stay inside your classification boundary.

  • Secure data vaults

    Encrypted at rest and in transit, with key custody you control.


Model development

From raw data to production. Five stages, each with an exit criterion. A model does not move to the next stage because the calendar says so.

  1. 01

    Data preparation

    Secure ingestion, cleaning, annotation and vectorization of domain data. Air-gapped where required.

  2. 02

    Selection or pre-training

    We select or pre-train a foundation model for your domain — Llama, Mistral, or one built from scratch.

  3. 03

    Fine-tuning & RLHF

    Supervised fine-tuning on your labelled data, then RLHF to align the model to your standards.

  4. 04

    Evaluation & red-teaming

    Benchmark testing, adversarial red-teaming, bias assessment and capability evaluation.

  5. 05

    Deployment

    Production release with monitoring, version control and a retraining pipeline. Cloud, on-premise or air-gapped.


Safety & alignment

AI a government can audit. A model that cannot be explained cannot be defended at a public inquiry, so explicability is a build requirement rather than a research interest.

  • Constitutional AI principles

    Models are trained against explicit written guidelines, not only RLHF reward signals, so outputs are evaluable against a stated standard.

  • Human oversight loops

    Every production deployment carries human-in-the-loop checkpoints for high-stakes decisions.

  • Bias testing & fairness audits

    Systematic testing across demographic groups and edge cases before any government deployment.

  • Interpretability

    We surface reasoning traces and citation links so a decision-maker can see why a model reached its answer.
