A Brain built from the ground up for your situation
Some situations need a system that Company Brain was not built for. We build it on the same record of facts, with the same practice, and we run it for you.
When a standard Brain stops fitting
Company Brain is one company, one record, one installation, in three shapes. Most companies fit one of them. Three situations do not, and for those we build from the ground up.
-
A group with several companies
Each company has to keep its own record, and the group needs one view across all of them. One record per company, one view for the group. Nothing of one company surfaces in another company's answer.
-
A question with no module behind it
The question your company needs answered is not one the standard shapes answer. The system that answers it has to be built, not configured. It has to be yours when it is done.
-
Your own agents reading the record
Sometimes the problem calls for more than the record. The agents and tools that read it are part of the build. Each one signs in as a person and sees only what that person may see.
If a standard shape would do, we say so. Additions to a standard Brain are Enterprise work, and we tell you which one you are looking at before you decide anything.
Yours on top, ours underneath
A ground-up build is still scoped work, because most of the ground is already there. What is built for you stands on what already runs Brain.
-
Your record
Facts with their sources, dates and readers, for your situation alone.
-
Your view
The screen your situation needs: a group view, or the answer no module gives.
-
Your tools and agents
The readers of the record, each one signed in as a person.
-
Your installation
Its own database, backend, address and secrets. In the EU, or where we agree.
-
The record architecture
Checked facts, with sources, dates and states.
-
The deployment pipeline
One scripted run stands up an installation.
-
The release gates
Every change passes them before it ships.
-
The people who run Brain
They have run production systems that could not go down.
See it in action
A real question from a group, answered from each company's own record. Three steps do the work in order, and a named person takes the answer into the group's next session.
One of our suppliers is in trouble. Which of our companies is exposed, and how badly?
-
Each company's record
Every company's own record answers for itself: which contracts name that supplier, what was ordered, what the last review decided. Nothing is read from another company's record.
-
The group view
The group view puts the answers side by side: the exposure per company, dated, in the figures each company reported. One screen, built for the group alone.
-
The sources attached
Every line links back to the contract, the order or the decision it came from, in the company that holds it. Anyone with the right to see it can open it.
-
Your senior owner
Your named senior owner takes it into the group's next session. What the group decides goes into the record with its reasoning.
How it starts
From the situation to a running system, in four steps. The first one is where most of the thinking happens.
-
Name the problem
We start from the situation, not a specification. We name the problem with you, scope the system that answers it, and quote the build and the running of it on their own.
-
Make three decisions
No tool can make them for you. Who settles a dispute between two sources. Which documents and systems count as a source. Which assistants may read the record.
-
Build it in your environment
The system is built in an installation of your own, from the parts that built Brain: the record architecture, the deployment pipeline, the release gates. It is yours from the first week.
-
Run it, with a named owner
We run it with the same discipline as Brain. Every change passes the same gates before it ships, and a named senior owner stays answerable for what runs.
What it costs
There is no list price, on purpose. A system built for one company cannot be priced before the problem is known.
-
Scoped, then quoted
We name the problem with you first. The build and the running of it are then priced on their own. Nothing starts before you have both numbers.
-
Priced for you alone
The quote is for your situation and nobody else's. It is not a shape on a card, and it will not appear on one.
Tell us what Brain was not built for
Bring the situation, not a specification. We will say whether it is a Custom Brain. Then what it would take to build, and what it would cost to run.
