Framework & delivery

One target architecture for enterprise data and AI — designed, built and handed over by SCIKIQ teams.

You own the platform. SCIKIQ brings the framework, the accelerators and the people who design, build and run it with you — until your own teams take over.

Why programmes get stuck

Four situations we are usually called into

The technology rarely fails on its own. Programmes stall where data, meaning, control and people are not designed together.

The situation

Data is siloed and nobody shares its meaning

“Customer”, “asset” and “order” — or “account” and “exposure” in a bank — are defined differently in every system, so each report is reconciled by hand.

What changes with SCIKIQ

We connect sources once through a data fabric and give them one meaning in an enterprise ontology your teams own.

Layers 2 · 3 · 4
The situation

AI pilots don’t reach production

Proofs of concept impress in a demo, then stall on data access, security review and the question of who will run them.

What changes with SCIKIQ

The pilot is built on the target architecture from day one — gateway, evaluation and release gates included — so it becomes the first production release.

Layers 1 · 10
The situation

Agents can’t act safely on core systems

Copilots can summarise, but every change to an ERP, ledger, billing or case system is still keyed in by a person.

What changes with SCIKIQ

Agents act through typed, limited actions with policy checks and human approval — autonomy is raised only on evidence.

Layers 7 · 8
The situation

Regulators ask for lineage and evidence

BCBS 239 in banking, IFRS 17 in insurance, CERC filings in power, RERA in real estate, SOX and the DPDP Act everywhere — reviewers want proof of where a number came from and who approved each decision.

What changes with SCIKIQ

Lineage, policy-as-code and a complete run log make evidence a by-product of daily operations, not a quarterly scramble.

Layers 3 · 9
The target architecture

Twelve capability layers, one blueprint for your organisation

The same twelve layers we score in the maturity assessment. Select a layer to see what your organisation gets, who leads it, which accelerators run on it and what your team owns at the end.

Our delivery lens: Connect → Curate → Contextualize → Consume. Pick a step to see the layers it builds.

Who builds what

Seven service lines, one accountable lead per layer

Every layer has a single SCIKIQ service line accountable for it, with named support. At handover, every layer is owned by your team.

The delivery pod

One cross-functional team around your product owner

A single pod covers strategy to operations, so nothing falls between vendors. It flexes by phase — and your people pair with every role from the first week.

Engagement lead
Owns outcomes and value tracking; runs weekly status and bi-weekly steering with your sponsor.
Solution / data architect
Designs the target state across the twelve layers and how it fits your core systems.
Data engineers
Build the landing zone as code, pipelines and governed data products.
Ontology & governance lead
Agrees business meaning, critical data elements, lineage and policies with your owners.
Your product owner & team
Set priorities and make the decisions. Your engineers, analysts and risk partners pair with each role and take over at handover.
AI / agent engineers
Configure accelerators; build agents, tools, context and governed actions.
AgentOps / SRE
Evaluation, release gates, monitoring and incident response for models and agents.
Change & enablement lead
Trains your people to use and supervise agents; embeds new ways of working.

  • Hypercare and continuous evaluation
  • Pairing and knowledge transfer
  • Adoption and supervision training
You receive

Runbooks, evaluation suites and knowledge transfer to a trained team

Gate: handover sign-off

You own it.

Everything we build lives in your repositories and your cloud tenancy from the first sprint. At handover your team runs it — or keeps SCIKIQ on as a managed service.

Engagement models

Choose how SCIKIQ works with your teams — and change it as you mature.

Staff augmentation

Architects, data and AI engineers embedded in your teams, under your delivery lead.

Best when you already run the programme and need specialist capacity.

Project delivery

Outcome-based delivery of an accelerator or platform build by a SCIKIQ pod, with phase gates.

Best for a pilot or a new layer of the target architecture.

Managed services

We run and improve the platform, models and agents — DataOps, MLOps and AgentOps under agreed SLAs.

Best after handover, while your team builds its own run capability.
Typical start
30–45 day accelerator pilot

One accelerator and its agent squad on your real data, in your tenancy, under your controls.

Then
Scale across the organisation

More domains and layers on the same foundation, with autonomy raised on evidence and your team taking the lead.

Follow one case

A reconciliation break, through the architecture

Worked example from banking (the same flow runs a discom’s collections, a distributor’s claims or an airline’s settlements): a settlement on the payments rail doesn’t match the ledger. Here is how the layers — and the people — handle it, from source to audit trail.

Watch it live
Runs the Break Investigator agent on a real demo case.
  1. 1

    The break appears in your source systems

    The payment rail reports a settlement the core ledger hasn’t booked the same way — amount and value date differ.

    Source systems
  2. 2

    The data fabric lands both sides

    Change-data capture brings both records in within minutes, quality-checked, as governed data products.

  3. 3

    Metadata and ontology give it meaning

    The records resolve to the same counterparty, nostro account and product, with lineage back to each source.

  4. 4

    Context is assembled

    Matching rules, similar past breaks and the recon procedure are pulled together — only what this analyst is entitled to see.

  5. 5

    The Break Investigator agent works the case

    It plans, calls its tools through the secure AI gateway, finds a candidate match and proposes a decision with evidence and a confidence score.

  6. 6

    Policy checks the proposal

    Kill switch, autonomy level, confidence and amount limits decide: straight through, or to a person.

  7. 7

    A person approves Human

    The operations analyst reviews the evidence on one screen and approves, edits or rejects the proposal.

  8. 8

    The action is written back

    A governed, typed action resolves the break in the reconciliation system — limited, idempotent and reversible.

  9. 9

    Everything is logged for audit

    Each step, tool call and decision is recorded; outcomes feed the evaluation that decides whether autonomy can be raised.

Runs where your data lives

Deployed in your estate, on your terms

The framework is cloud-agnostic. We deploy it where your data and your controls already are.

Your tenancy or on-prem

Deployed in your own cloud subscription or data centre — never a shared SCIKIQ environment.

Cloud-agnostic

Azure, AWS or GCP, and hybrid with on-prem connectivity for core systems that stay put.

Data residency

Data and model calls stay in the regions your regulators require; the AI gateway enforces it.

Infrastructure as code

Every environment is code or configuration, tested automatically and reproducible from dev to prod.

Security & identity

Integrates with your identity provider, key management, network controls and access reviews.

Reference landing zone

A reference landing zone, delivered as infrastructure as code.

The same landing-zone patterns are used for deployments in every industry, on any major cloud.

DevTestPre-prodProd
  • Landing zone with separate environments and on-prem connectivity for hybrid integration
  • Everything as code or configuration — consistent, reusable, reviewable
  • Automated tests for every provisioning change
  • Designed to be portable to other clouds
Next step

Start with a maturity assessment

In six weeks we score your twelve layers with evidence, agree the target state and propose a 30–45 day accelerator pilot — with the pod that would deliver it.
