The reference architecture for organizational reasoning.
A technical view of IIOS for CIOs, security leaders, investors, and integration partners — how data flows from your existing systems into a governed, explainable reasoning environment.
Architectural commitments that hold at every layer
These principles are not features bolted on later. They shape how every layer of IIOS is designed.
A reasoning layer, not another system of record
IIOS sits above your existing stack and reasons across it. It does not replace your ERP, CRM, PLM, or BI — it makes them more valuable.
Customer-owned data by default
The platform reads and reasons over data you continue to control, minimizing replication rather than creating a duplicate enterprise data store.
Explainable by construction
Every assertion carries source provenance and confidence. Conclusions can be traced from question to evidence to answer.
Deploy where policy requires
The same architecture runs as managed SaaS, in your cloud tenancy, dedicated, or fully air-gapped — without changing the reasoning model.
From systems of record to institutional judgment
Each layer has a distinct responsibility. Together they turn disconnected systems into a shared reasoning environment.
How a question becomes a defensible answer
Reasoning is a traceable path through the graph — not a black box.
A question enters
A person or Studio poses a question in natural language or through a structured workflow.
The graph is traversed
The reasoning engine traverses entities and relationships in the Industrial Graph rather than matching keywords.
Evidence is assembled
Relevant sources, prior decisions, and institutional memory are gathered, each with provenance and confidence.
An answer is reasoned
The platform proposes a conclusion with its supporting evidence. People decide; the decision is remembered.
One architecture, four deployment models
The reasoning model is identical across deployments. What changes is where it runs and who holds the keys.
Shared SaaS
Managed multi-tenant with logical isolation. Fastest path to value.
Customer Cloud
Runs in your AWS, Azure, or GCP account. Data and compute stay in your tenancy.
Dedicated Enterprise
Single-tenant, isolated infrastructure with customer-managed keys.
On-Prem / Air-Gapped
Runs inside controlled, disconnected, or classified environments.

Built to connect to what you already run
IIOS reasons across the enterprise stack through governed, auditable connections.
An extensibility surface for technical partners
Studios and applications are built on the same APIs and SDK available to your teams and partners. The graph is queryable, the reasoning is composable, and new Studios extend the platform without forking it.
