Core infrastructure
The foundational layer. Traffic governance, model management, compliance enforcement.
Intelligent Router
Classifies query sensitivity in real-time. Routes to local inference or approved external endpoints based on defined rules. The gatekeeper for all AI traffic.
Model Abstraction Layer
Unified API across any model. Swap foundation models without application changes. The key to LLM agnosticism.
Governance Engine
Centralized logging, audit trails, and policy enforcement. Every inference recorded with full context.
Prompt Management
Versioned prompt storage with audit history. Configuration as code for AI behavior.
Inference Optimization
Caching, quantization, batching. Performance without compromising sovereignty.
Intelligence and retrieval
How sovereign AI accesses and applies knowledge.
Sovereign RAG
Retrieval-augmented generation on your infrastructure. Your documents, your vectors, your answers.
Knowledge Anchoring
Hallucination prevention layer. Responses grounded in verified sources with citation.
Vector Residency
Local embedding generation and storage. Semantic search without data egress.
Knowledge Graphs
Structured relationships beyond vector similarity. Entity resolution, inference chains, explainable connections.
Session Memory
Context persistence across conversations. Continuity without sending history to external APIs.
Interface and interaction
How users engage with sovereign AI systems.
Conversational Core
Text-based interaction foundation. Chat interfaces, command processing, dialogue management.
Voice Pipeline
Speech recognition, synthesis, and conversation, all on-premise. Real-time voice interaction without cloud ASR/TTS.
Visual Interaction
Avatar systems, video presence, multimodal interfaces for high-engagement applications.
Omnichannel Bridge
Unified experience across text, voice, and visual modalities. Consistent AI behavior regardless of interface.
Document and data processing
Intelligence extraction at enterprise scale.
Document Understanding
Full extraction from unstructured documents. OCR, layout analysis, semantic parsing.
Classification and Routing
Automatic document type detection. Intelligent routing based on content.
Entity Extraction
Structured data from unstructured input. Names, dates, amounts, and relationships, extracted and normalized.
Redaction and Anonymization
Automatic PII detection and removal. Data transformation for safe downstream use.
Compliance and security
Regulatory adherence and threat defense.
Regulatory Rules Engine
Compliance requirements as executable code. Automated policy enforcement.
Explainability Layer
Human-readable decision explanations. Audit-ready reasoning chains.
Bias Detection
Fairness analysis across protected categories. Monitoring and alerting for drift.
Adversarial Defense
Protection against prompt injection, jailbreaking, and model manipulation attacks.
Workflow and operations
AI-powered business process automation.
Intent Classification
Real-time understanding of user goals. Routing and response selection.
Escalation Management
Human-in-loop triggers. Approval workflows. Graceful handoff when AI reaches limits.
System Integration
Connectors for enterprise platforms. ERP, CRM, EHR, and trading systems: secure bridges that respect sovereignty boundaries.
Implementation
The Reference Stack is architectural guidance. Implementation requires:
- Component selection appropriate to sovereignty level and use case
- Integration design that maintains data residency guarantees
- Governance configuration aligned with regulatory requirements
- Operational procedures for monitoring, updates, and incident response
TSI-certified practitioners guide these decisions. When builds are needed, accredited implementation partners deliver to the Standard.
