The platform

The Compass architecture.

Five layers, one continuous stack: data sources, workflow, ontologies, view engine, agents and apps. Each layer reshapes the one below it. Built sovereign in Europe.

How the layers work together

Five layers. One continuous loop.

Sense the world. Model the context. Orchestrate the work. Decide what matters. Act where it counts. The loop runs continuously — so the next best action is always one click away.

Layer 01

Data sources

Client databases, files and third-party systems. Records arrive from the systems already in place — no migration, no new warehouse — and are normalised into single entities.

  • Client databases, files and third-party systems
  • OSINT, ERP, MES and proprietary connectors
  • Transactions, IoT, geospatial, relational, unstructured
  • Contract, SLA, tender and policy parsing (PDF, DOCX)
Layer 02

Workflow

Pipelines that clean, merge and route records. Scheduled, event-driven and API automations on top of a connection registry, with every transformation step orchestrated and observable.

  • Scheduled · event-driven · API automations
  • Cleaning, deduplication and change detection
  • Entity resolution across sources
  • Every transformation step, orchestrated
Layer 03

Ontologies

Entities and relationships that give data meaning. Objects, links and properties in a single model — not a fixed schema decided upstream, but a model the customer extends while working.

  • Dynamic entity types and computed fields
  • Unified relationships: semantic, referential, structural
  • Objects, links and properties in one model
  • Documents, images, video, geodata and audio as first-class objects
Layer 04

View engine

Views that expose the model to any surface, and decide what each surface can read. A dashboard engine and a catalogue of composable widgets, versioned so a configuration is an object with a history.

  • Dashboard engine · widget catalogue
  • Entity lists, KPIs, aggregates, maps and detail views
  • Versioning and time machine on every view
  • Visibility resolved per user, role, group and linked entity
Layer 05

Agents & apps

Agents and applications that act on the model, reading and writing the same objects. They produce the artifacts teams act on — under four-level visibility, an append-only audit trail and a human in the loop on what matters.

  • Agent building · orchestration · evaluation
  • AI Skills, reports, decks, dashboards, alerts and write-back
  • Agents act with the invoking user's permissions, not a system key
  • Four-level visibility, append-only audit trail, tenant isolation
  • Every statement traces back to the source document

Configured, not rebuilt

Domain-specific where it matters. Domain-agnostic where it scales.

To configure Compass for a new domain, four elements change.

Ontology

Defines which entities exist and how they relate.

  • Commercial domain: Account, Deal, Stakeholder, Signal, Meeting
  • AML domain: Customer, Beneficial Owner, Account, Transaction, Alert, Counterparty
  • Procurement domain: Tender, Supplier, Bid, Commissioner, Beneficial Owner
  • Export control domain: Product, Exporter, Intermediary, End User, Jurisdiction, Sanctions List

Data pipelines

Define which sources feed the graph: internal systems, external registries, communication data, public data, specialized databases and domain-specific systems.

AI Skills & Studio

Configure the agents, workflows and playbooks that run in each domain — from revenue plays to AML triage, from tender scoring to counterparty due diligence — orchestrated in the Studio hub with a human in the loop.

Decision outputs

Define the artifacts each domain needs: prioritized actions, briefs, decks, dashboards and alerts — all traceable to the underlying evidence.

The core engine stays the same. The decision language changes.

Explainability

Every recommendation needs a reason.

Compass does not ask teams to trust a black box. Every priority comes with the entities involved, the signals detected, the relationships used, the sources referenced and the reasoning behind the recommendation.

Source-level traceability

Every node and relationship links back to its origin.

Evidence chains

Compass builds a navigable path from signal to conclusion.

Human-in-the-loop controls

Analysts, operators and decision-makers remain in control.

Audit-ready reasoning

Every action, state change and recommendation can be reviewed later.

Outputs

Skills, briefs, decks and dashboards.

Compass does not only produce recommendations. It generates the concrete artifacts your teams need to act, present, share and monitor.

AI Skills

Agent-powered skills that run inside your workflows — draft emails, enrich records, generate reports, update CRM fields and execute routine tasks with source-level traceability.

Briefs

Decision-ready documents that combine entities, signals, relationships and recommendations into one navigable narrative. Every claim links back to the evidence.

Decks

Executive-ready presentations generated from the context graph. Share findings, progress and strategic context without rebuilding slides manually.

Dashboards

Role-specific monitoring views that surface what matters now — from account health and pipeline risk to investigation status and program velocity.

Alerts

Ranked, explainable notifications triggered by material changes in the graph. No noisy alerts; only signals that need a decision.

Integrations

Connects to the systems you already operate.

Compass sits alongside your existing stack and writes back to it. No rip-and-replace, no parallel source of truth.

CRM & sales

Salesforce · HubSpot · Microsoft Dynamics · Pipedrive

Productivity

Microsoft 365 · Google Workspace · Slack · Teams

Data & warehouse

Snowflake · BigQuery · Databricks · Postgres

External signals

Public registries · Sanctions & PEP lists · News & filings · Licensed market data

Custom connectors and on-prem sources are supported on dedicated and sovereign deployments.

Trust

Production posture, sovereign by design.

SSO, encryption, audit logs, tenant isolation — designed, engineered and operated in Europe, with deployment options up to fully sovereign.

Common questions

What teams ask us about the platform.

Do we have to replace our CRM or ERP?
No. Compass sits alongside your existing stack, reads from it and writes back to it. Your systems of record remain the source of truth.
Can we extend the ontology?
Yes. The ontology is customer-owned and versioned. You can extend entities, relationships and signals; we maintain the industry baselines.
How is every recommendation explained?
Each recommendation carries its signals, sources, model version and reviewer. It is designed to be defensible in front of audit, regulators and your own governance.
