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
Assertions are designed to carry source provenance and confidence. Conclusions can be traced from question to evidence to answer.
Deploy where policy requires
The same architecture is designed to run from a managed cloud available today into private, customer-controlled, and disconnected environments scoped per engagement — 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.
Atlas Cloud
Managed, tenant-isolated platform. The fastest path to first value. Available today.
Atlas Private Node
A dedicated, single-organization environment provisioned for you. Configured per engagement.
Atlas Private Enterprise
Private, customer-controlled infrastructure scoped to your requirements. Configured per engagement.
Customer cloud & disconnected
Your own cloud account and fully disconnected operation are architectural directions scoped per engagement — not universal options today.

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.
