Cognitive Infrastructure for Sovereign Organizations
Mavaia is a local-first cognitive framework that enables advanced reasoning, memory, and orchestration without surrendering control over data, systems, or governance.
The Non-Abandonment Principle
Intelligence that remains present and accountable
"Presence must be reliable. Intelligence that functions correctly but withdraws under pressure is considered incomplete. Mavaia structures cognition as layers of obligation rather than features, designed to preserve continuity over certainty, to slow down instead of escalate blindly, and to degrade without abandoning the human in the loop."
Sovereignty by Design
Mavaia enables cognition to run as owned infrastructure within institutional boundaries
Local-First Execution
Deploy and operate cognitive systems entirely within your infrastructure. No cloud dependency, no external APIs, no vendor lock-in.
Cognitive Framestack
Layered reasoning architecture organizing cognition into frames with explicit state, memory, and constraint handling.
Governance Control
Transparent, inspectable behavior with embedded governance mechanisms. Responsibility is traceable, limits are explicit.
Infrastructure-Grade Cognition
78+ specialized brain modules organized into a coherent cognitive system
Memory Graph
Graph-based knowledge representation with semantic clustering and relationship tracking
Constraint Runtime
Explicit constraint handling and safety envelopes embedded into execution
Forest Routing
Multi-path cognitive routing with probabilistic exploration and search
Evaluation Harness
Built-in evaluation framework for continuous assessment and validation
Observability Metrics
Comprehensive telemetry and monitoring for production deployments
OpenAI-Compatible API
Drop-in replacement for existing integrations with extended capabilities
Deployment models
Engagements start with local-first pilots and expand into on-prem clusters or hybrid bridges once governance approvals are complete. There is no generic SaaS tier.
Local-first
Mac Studio, workstation, or secure laptop deployment with full ACL stack. Ideal for evaluation, lab pilots, and on-site research teams.
- Air-gapped option available
- Hardware attestation required
On-prem / cluster
Kubernetes or Nomad deployment with managed Postgres + Payload CMS. Includes governance hooks, audit streaming, and redundancy guidance.
- Customer-owned VPC
- FedRAMP or equivalent controls
Hybrid bridge
Local-first by default with optional cloud escalation through HybridBridgeService. Requires design partnership plus telemetry agreement.
- Governance approval for escalation
- Signed design partnership
Governance & safety architecture
Safety lives inside the pipeline. Governance is codified through Payload workflows, evaluation notes, and routing policies that map to your institutional controls.
Safety stack
- Pre-inference risk checks via intent classification + CPS
- Runtime hallucination detection at 94% accuracy (linked via evaluation notes)
- Post-hoc audit logs piped to your SIEM
Governance workflow
- Payload CMS roles enforce reviewer approval for Systems + EvaluationNotes
- Every metric references an evaluation note slug, preventing orphan claims
- Webhook triggers revalidate Next.js routes after publish
Latency & cost envelope
Mavaia is priced per-evaluation and per-design partnership. Runtime cost is controlled by your own infrastructure; we expose the benchmarks below so procurement teams can budget accurately.
| Profile | Latency (p95) | Runtime cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local-first | 1.8s Evaluation note | Customer-owned hardware | qwen3 + granite stack sized for Mac Studio |
| On-prem GPU cluster | 1.3s | Existing GPU fleet allocation | Includes redundancy + replica CMS |
| Hybrid escalation | 2.4s | Local + optional API spend | Used for long-context or specialized reasoning |
Get evaluated
The only way into production is through an evaluation. We measure your workloads, align governance, and sign a deployment plan before any design partnership begins.
Submit institutional brief
Use the contact form to describe your sector, deployment posture, compliance requirements, and intended use.
Evidence review
We align evaluation notes with your workloads, share instrumentation, and scope any hybrid routing needs.
Design partnership / deployment
We co-author the runbook, sign governance controls, and schedule production rollout milestones.
