If your data can't go to the cloud.

Who it's for

Law firms (50–300 fee-earners)

Matter-centric work, engagement-letter exposure on AI use, DMS-anchored (iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint), partner risk on every cloud upload.

• Engagement letters now spell out AI use — a single cloud paste can breach the term.
• Drafts must read like the firm, not a generic LLM voice, or the partner rewrites them.
• Privilege survives only if the chain of custody is defensible at the chunk, not "trust me".

Regulators

License applications, fitness-and-propriety assessments, regulatory returns. On-prem is a regulatory requirement, not a preference. The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission is our lead reference.

• Casework is deadline-driven queue, not freeform chat — SLAs and reminders are the surface.
• Tribunal defensibility means every screened individual cites back to a source document.
• Air-gap fits the classification rules — the deployment bends to the regime, not the other way round.

Professional advisors

Accounting, audit, compliance, HR consultancies. Regulated client data, audit-trail demands, on-prem expectations from regulated clients.

• Regulated clients (banks, regulators) write on-prem AI into the engagement — preference becomes contract.
• Audit-committee scrutiny demands workflows reviewable end-to-end, not opaque model output.
• No vendor support account with standing access to client matters — the firm runs the box.

Government & public sector

Data classification requirements that preclude cloud AI; long procurement cycles; pen-test at every release.

• Data classification rules out cloud AI before the evaluation even starts.
• Procurement-friendly: one binary, one tenant, no SaaS terms to negotiate.
• Pen-test posture per release — security page documents threat model + refusals.

When the firm doesn't have an in-house AI team

Most regulated firms don't have private-LLM expertise on staff — and shouldn't have to hire it. We engage as a deployment partner: the same engineers who build the platform stand it up with you, capture the firm's vocabulary and playbooks, and hand you a running system your administrator can run alone.

1. PHASE 1 · 4 WEEKS Discovery Map the firm's matters, documents, workflows. Pick the model catalog. Sized to your hardware.
2. PHASE 2 · 8–12 WEEKS Stand-up Install on your hardware. Ingest priority matters. Train the firm's own administrator.
3. PHASE 3 · OPTIONAL Sustain Model upgrades, vocabulary tuning, new workflows. Cancel when you don't need it.

Not consultancy. Not staff augmentation. The people who built the box install the box.
