CONTINUING R&D

Research & Development

What we're building and what we're still proving. Statuses below are stated plainly — in development means in development. Nothing on this page is offered as generally available.

Development portfolio

Fleet projects in active development

Every project below shares the same spine: deterministic governance, human-in-the-loop gates, tamper-evident records and Australian data residency by default. They graduate to the Fleet page when they're real for customers.

Sovereign Counsel Stack

In development

Legal & Compliance

A sovereign legal AI runtime for Australian practice — retrieval-grounded answers that cite the source document, privilege boundaries enforced in routing, and solicitor review treated as a design requirement rather than a disclaimer.

Legal Reasoning Engine

In development

Legal & Compliance

Australian-law reasoning and citation verification — the engine behind the legal fleet: regulation parsing, authority checking and structured legal analysis under human oversight.

Digital Employee Platform

In development

Enterprise Labour

Governed digital workers for back-office workflows — deterministic control paths, named human owners, and audit records for every action. The platform behind the Digital Employee product line.

Terra-Lens

In development

Computer Vision

Geospatial and sensor intelligence for agriculture, mining, infrastructure and defence — multi-modal analysis of imagery and sensor streams with the same evidence discipline as the rest of the fleet.

Drone Technologies

In development

Robotics

Drone AI for inspection and survey work in civilian and defence contexts, including a corrosion-detection capability for infrastructure and mining currently in beta.

Sovereign Asset Registry

In development

Financial Technology

Digital asset tracking for financial institutions — registry-grade records with verifiable provenance, built on the same tamper-evident storage patterns as our evidence systems.

Property & Conveyancing Agents

In development

Real Estate

Agent-executed real-estate and conveyancing workflows — document-heavy, deadline-driven processes with human gates at every legally significant step.

Medical AI

In development

Health

Diagnostic-support and surgical-training systems, including a surgical simulation and credentialing platform in beta. Clinical judgement stays with the clinician; our contribution is the governed system around it.

Model Foundry

In development

Infrastructure

Sovereign model training and serving infrastructure — the platform the rest of the fleet uses for local inference, so capability doesn't depend on any single offshore provider.

Governance Platform

In development

AI Governance

The productised form of our agentic-GRC research: AI-governance obligations decomposed into executable controls, with agent-produced, regulator-ready evidence under human gates. Built against Australian regulator expectations first.

Sovereign Compliance Stack

In development

Compliance Automation

Continuous control monitoring, agent-collected signed evidence, framework mapping and client trust pages — the compliance-automation pattern rebuilt sovereign, with Australian regulator-native packs. We issue readiness assessments, attestation-grade evidence packs and status reports; certificates are only ever issued by accredited certification bodies, and our reports say so plainly.

Digital Assets & Markets

Research

Financial Technology

Exploratory work in digital-asset infrastructure and multi-agent market analysis — governed research programmes, not trading products. Anything that touches client money graduates only through the full compliance spine.

Defence & Aerospace Programmes

Prototype

Defence

Dual-use research including airborne-threat interception concepts and flight-simulation training platforms. Capability detail is disclosed to qualified defence counterparties only.

Continuing research

The questions we're still answering

Product follows proof. These are the standing research streams the portfolio is built on — run on our own systems first, published as evidence when it's real.

Agentic GRC engineering

Our core research programme, including doctoral research in progress: can AI agents execute governance, risk and compliance work — not just draft it — under human-in-the-loop gates, and produce evidence a regulator would accept? Practitioner interviews, Delphi study and controlled prototype evaluation are the method; our own fleet is the testbed.

Evidence-first epistemics

A discipline for machine-generated claims: every material figure carries its measurement, the population it was measured over, and its expiry. Claims that cannot cite their evidence are labelled, not asserted. This runs live across our internal systems and shapes every product above.

Sovereign local inference

Resilience research into running the fleet's AI workloads on Australian hardware under Australian legal reach — model selection, hardware envelopes, and regular cutoff drills that prove the fleet survives losing offshore frontier providers.

Cross-domain agent knowledge

How specialised agents in different domains — legal, security, vision, finance — share what they learn without sharing what they must not: embedding infrastructure, knowledge brokering and the governance boundaries between domains.

Why we publish this page

Most vendors publish their roadmap as if it were their product. We separate the two on purpose: the Fleet page is what operates today; this page is what's coming and what's being proven. If a status here surprises you later, hold us to it.
