Air-gapped

Foundry plus a local model. No public model egress and no external dependency at runtime.

no LLM.

Analyze

Deterministic

Initial ranking, coverage, diagnostics, impact, feasibility, moat, and sequencing run without a model call.

THEN

Generate

Your chosen model

Use deeper reasoning only when drafting the plan, dossiers, or extraction proposals.

Use an enterprise cloud model or a local one. The endpoint is your decision.

Human control

No silent edits.
No invisible truth.
