THE TRUST PLANE FOR ENTERPRISE INTELLIGENCE

We help organisations trust AI.

ENTERPRISE AI HAS A TRUST PROBLEM
  • AI cannot prove where knowledge came from.
  • AI cannot explain why a recommendation was made.
  • AI cannot determine whether information is still valid.
  • AI cannot demonstrate governance.

CAIRN solves this by introducing the Enterprise Trust Layer — transforming unstructured organisational data into provable, evidence-backed intelligence.

Enterprise Pillar Architecture

Gartner-grade architectural evaluation across CAIRN's core governance modules.

CAIRN

Enterprise Trust & Policy Gatekeeper

CAIRN operates as an unyielding default-deny security boundary. Every incoming prompt instruction and proposed tool call is intercepted and evaluated against strict cryptographic policies prior to execution.

By separating reasoning models from direct OS tool access, CAIRN eliminates prompt injection vectors and ensures rogue instructions cannot touch internal systems without authorization.

Emits signed contract evaluation events for complete risk management transparency.

PATH

Workflow Intelligence & Router

PATH is the intent classification and task orchestration layer. It inspects user prompts alongside institutional context to decompose complex goals into multi-step execution plans.

Maintains model-agnostic routing, dynamically selecting local Ollama workers or cloud backbones based on hardware availability and security clearance.

Prevents model vendor lock-in while maintaining total operational continuity during external cloud outages.

COMPASS

Governance Intelligence & Audit Provenance

COMPASS records cryptographically signed evidence logs for every session trace, tool call, and model response generated across the organisation.

Provides audit provenance detailing exactly which institutional knowledge notes were referenced, which models executed the plan, and whether code execution was container-verified.

Delivers compliance reporting ready for Chief Risk Officers and regulatory inspectors.

ATLAS

Knowledge Infrastructure & Memory Fabric

ATLAS synthesizes unstructured enterprise data into a 4-layer memory fabric combining Episodic SQLite Event Ledgers, Knowledge Notes, Graphs, and Semantic Vector FTS.
