Sovereign AI diligence center
Inspect the operating claim before accepting it.
This public planning brief shows how Aevah frames architecture, degraded behavior, interruption testing, and operating responsibility. Customer-specific designs and commitments are established through diligence and the applicable agreement.
Artifact 01
Conceptual reference architecture
The control plane evaluates each workload before it reaches a model or tool. The governed foundation remains present whether the permitted route is sovereign, frontier, analytical, or human.
Policy determines the permitted route.

Artifact 02
Induced-interruption acceptance protocol
A continuity claim becomes credible when the buying committee can observe failure, degraded operation, recovery, and the evidence created throughout the event.
- 01
Prepare
Agree the workflow, normal route, permitted degraded behavior, recovery objective, capacity, and evidence requirements.
- 02
Interrupt
Induce loss of the approved external-model route under controlled conditions while the selected workflow is active.
- 03
Observe
Confirm permitted work continues, unsupported work is contained, authority remains active, and prohibited egress does not occur.
- 04
Recover
Restore the external route, reconcile activity, verify state, and return to normal routing under an approved procedure.
- 05
Decide
Use the retained evidence to accept, refine, or stop the proposed continuity scope.
Evidence packet
What the test should retain
- Test scope and approved change record
- Normal and degraded route decisions
- Model and configuration versions
- Source and tool availability
- Identity and authorization decisions
- Actions, exceptions, and human confirmations
- Performance and capacity observations
- Recovery and reconciliation record
Artifact 03
Illustrative workload-routing matrix
The goal is not to force all work onto one model. It is to make normal, escalation, and interruption behavior explicit before the workflow becomes operational.
Continue within approved data, tools, and thresholds
Continue bounded analysis; escalate unsupported judgment
Preserve minimum workflow; defer unavailable reasoning
Maintain confirmation or route to an accountable person
Illustrative only. Final routing depends on workload tests, model compatibility and quality, data and tool availability, performance, capacity, policy, and customer approval.
Artifact 04
Operating-responsibility framework
“Customer-controlled” is incomplete unless ownership, service objectives, maintenance, recovery, and access are explicit.
Location, ownership, redundancy, utilization, and expansion thresholds
Supported models, quality thresholds, compatibility, terms, and replacement path
Authority, secrets, access, egress, and human-confirmation boundaries
Approved sources, freshness, state, tool availability, and recovery reconciliation
Health, failover triggers, degraded mode, recovery, escalation, and retained evidence
Service objectives, maintenance windows, patching, approved access, and accountability
This framework does not establish availability, recovery, support, security, or performance commitments. Those become binding only through the applicable customer agreement.
Continue diligence
Apply these artifacts to one critical workload.
Build a preliminary continuity profile first, or take the framework directly into architecture and security review.
