For Defence and Sovereign Procurement

Sovereign capability in
your sovereign tenant.
Days only. Zero vendor lock-in.

The Prime quoted you 18 months and £3 million. The US-sovereignty platform cannot accept classified data. The UK boutique has no JOSCAR registration. We are the third option.

First working enclave deployed in your tenant: 5 working days.

The procurement reality

Same workload.
Same compliance posture.
Different commercial model.

A classified data ingestion pipeline feeding an AI decision-support tool. The numbers your peer programmes are actually being quoted, set next to what Talastron Kinetic AI delivers.

Typical Tier 1 Prime quote
Discovery phase: 12 weeks. Architecture validation: 8 weeks. On-site contractor team: 6 cleared engineers. Multi-year platform commitment. Vetting renewal cycles. Vendor-owned tooling. Per-mission licensing.

Lock-in by architecture

Example programme scenario

A classified multi-domain sensor fusion pipeline feeding a Digital Kill Web decision-support layer, ingested, governed, and deployed into your sovereign enclave. Adversarially reviewed before handover.

The Sovereign Capability
Accelerator.

A fixed-scope, fixed-price engagement that deploys a working AI capability into your sovereign Azure tenant and hands you the full evidence package. Not a discovery phase. Not a roadmap. A delivered capability.

Phase 01

Scoping

5 working days

Cleared engineer reviews your programme outline. Returns a Capability-as-a-Service scoping document: requirement lock, enclave blueprint, and fixed-price commitment. No NDA required to receive it.

  • Locked requirement specification
  • Enclave architecture blueprint
  • Fixed-price engagement letter

Phase 02

Factory Run

Days, not months

The AI Agentic Software Factory runs the five-gate pipeline: requirements lock, architecture, governance, IaC generation, and deployment. Each gate is human-reviewed. Adversarial Challenger Pattern applied at Gate 4.

  • Five human approval gates
  • Adversarially reviewed output
  • Deployed into your sovereign tenant

Phase 03

Handover

Procurement-ready

As-Built Documentation package delivered at engagement close: runbook, compliance report, JSP 936 and Secure by Design evidence mapping, and DEFCON 658 data sheets. Ready for your RIMS and procurement sign-off.

  • As-Built Docs package
  • JSP 936 / SbD evidence mapping
  • DEFCON 658 compliance data sheets

AI Agentic Software Factory

The five-gate pipeline is not a workflow tool. It is a deterministic manufacturing process for governed AI outputs. Every specification, architecture, governance artefact, infrastructure-as-code module, and deployed resource group is produced by the same factory run. Contractor-Owned. Agent-Manufactured. Yours on handover.

See the full architecture →

Every output is challenged before
it reaches your tenant.

The Adversarial Challenger Pattern is not a QA checkbox. It is a separate agent instantiation that attempts to defeat the primary output, finding edge cases, misaligned specifications, and compliance gaps, before a human reviewer sees it.

Primes do not do this. US-sovereignty platforms do not do this. It is built into the factory architecture at Gate 4 because defence AI that has not been adversarially probed before deployment is a liability, not a capability.

Primary agent output

Requirement fulfilled. IaC generated. Governance artefact produced.

◆ Adversarial challenger

Separate instantiation. Attempts to find: misaligned spec, compliance gap, edge-case failure, supply-chain risk.

Gate 4: Human review

Human reviewer sees both primary output and challenger findings. Signs off or returns to factory.

Adversarially-scored output

Challenger score included in As-Built Docs. Procurement evidence pack shows what was challenged and resolved.

What you show your procurement officer

The assurance evidence pack is pre-built.
Not assembled after delivery.

TRL 4: Validated in lab TRL 5: Validated in relevant environment TRL 6: Demonstrated operationally

Current TRL: 5. Evidence available on request.

Frameworks named correctly. Dates current. Evidence dated and attributable. We use "achieved" where we are certified, "aligned" where we are not.

Sovereign by tenancy

Your tenant. Your keys.
Your network perimeter.

The factory runs as an Azure Marketplace Managed Application inside an isolated Managed Resource Group in your tenant. Classified data stays where it is. The orchestrator has Just-In-Time management access; you can revoke it.

Region: UK South Keys: Customer-controlled Egress: None outside tenant Network: Private endpoints only Training: Customer data never used
Sovereign Cloud Guarantee · Powered by Foundry Local

Zero data leakage. Zero external model training. Your code, LLM orchestration layers, and agent telemetry reside entirely within your private cloud boundary, fully compatible with Azure AI Foundry Local and air-gapped SECRET enclaves. Kinetic AI personnel have zero access to your environment post-handover. Architecture compatible with AUKUS sovereign Azure regions and air-gapped enclave deployments under AUKUS Pillar II AI assurance requirements.

The Dark-Silicon Guardrail

Exit conditions baked into architecture. If the subscription lapses, the orchestrator shuts itself down. Your data, your IP, and your deployed applications stay in your tenant. No extraction. No vendor lock-in. No "exit fee" negotiation.
