Kenerix makes your company data ready for AI. It connects every source, models it once into shared meaning, governs every request at runtime, and gives people and agents a safe way to ask, build, watch and share. [Book a live demo](https://kenerix.com/contact/) Architecture ## Read the platform from the bottom up. Select a layer to see what it does. **Development environment**Reports, agents and apps **Gold layer**Curated, fast-serving datasets **Semantic layer and knowledge**Inherit, override, rules and monitors **Data map**One model of all sources **Federation and storage**Query in place or host in Kenerix **Your source systems**Databases, SaaS and APIs, files, streams Governance gateway The governance gateway runs alongside every layer: each request from a person or AI client is checked against policy before data is returned. ### Your source systems The systems you already run stay exactly where they are. Kenerix connects to them with read-only credentials over encrypted connections. - Relational databases such as SQL Server and PostgreSQL - Finance, CRM, HR and operational systems, through their databases or APIs - Files and sheets: CSV, Excel and shared drives - Online services, APIs and live feeds ### Federation and storage Two ways to bring data in, with one result: the layers above never need to know which one they are reading. - **Federation:** query sources in place, with no copy and no migration project - **Hosted storage:** import files, sheets or slow systems into Kenerix when speed or availability matters - Every source, kept live, under the same governance ### Data map The single modelling surface for your whole estate. A federated table and a hosted table are the same kind of node. - Entities, joins and relationships modelled once, across systems - Links marked as exact, or as matching only after cleaning, with a note of the rule - Foreign keys imported automatically where they exist - The map tells every agent how your systems relate, so it never has to guess ### Semantic layer and knowledge Where data gets its meaning. Every source has its own semantic definition, and the business adds what the source never knew. - **Inherit:** types, names and keys come from the source - **Override:** business names, descriptions, classifications and units take precedence, without touching the source - **Virtual views:** saved logic that behaves like a table but lives in the model - **Knowledge base:** concepts, measures, reports and guides, certified by their owners - **Rules and monitors:** quality and drift checks attached to fields and datasets ### Gold layer Curated datasets and business logic that give fast reads for reports, apps and agents. It sits inside Kenerix, so it is never built on your source systems. - Business logic held in one place, not repeated in every report - Pipelines, federated where possible, keep it current on a schedule - Today shaped with our team; on the roadmap, built on demand by the report, app and agent builders ### Development environment Where people and agents turn data into something useful. Builders request data from the gold layer and the gold layer serves it back. - **Reports and dashboards:** built from a plain-English description, checked and certified - **Agents:** created from a prompt or an existing app, with workflows, routing and schedules, acting only within their knowledge, tools and access - **Apps:** web and mobile apps from a flow chart or a description, on governed datasets (in development) Capabilities ## Nine capabilities, one platform. Use what you need now and grow into the rest. ConnectEvery source, kept live Register each system once. Kenerix reads through read-only credentials over encrypted connections, browses schemas and tables, and samples rows so your team can see what is there before modelling. - Databases, SaaS systems, APIs, files and sheets - Federated in place or imported into hosted storage - Read-only by default, encryption required - No migration project to get started ModelOne meaning for every measure Build a semantic model for each source: the entities that matter, how they join and what they mean. Save reusable logic as virtual views. Link systems on the data map so a customer in finance is the same customer in operations. - Entities, relationships and meanings in business language - Virtual views for logic the database does not hold - Cross-system links, exact or normalised, with match notes - Overrides that never touch the source system KnowKnowledge your business owns A knowledge base that tells people and agents how your business works: the concepts, the measures with their exact rules, the reports and who they are for, and house rules for how answers are written. Owned by the team that knows, certified, versioned and searchable. Example knowledge entryRevenue collected: payments less refunds and bounced payments, on the day paid. Debt-collector recoveries are not our revenue. - Concepts, measures, reports and guides - Certified content managed by its owning team - Every change versioned; author marked as person or AI - Backlinks and full-text search across the base - Agent rules: tone, format, default scope, what never to change AskPlain English, governed answers Ask in the Kenerix portal or in the AI tool you already use. The agent reads the knowledge base first, uses certified definitions, and answers in your house style: a clear title, a short summary, the table and what stands out. AskShow revenue by site against last month, for the North region only. - Chat in the portal or through Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and other MCP clients - Answers grounded in your data and your definitions - Each person’s answer limited to the data they may see - Business words in the answer, not table names BuildReports from a description Describe the report you need. The builder writes and validates the queries, previews real data, checks how the page renders and saves it in your private reports until you choose to share it. AskBuild a weekly site performance report with filters for region and site, and compare each week with the same week last year. - Filters that cascade, accept several values and search as you type - Queries checked as read-only before anything is saved - Private by default; share with people or move into team folders - Certified reports for the numbers the business runs on - Full revision history, compare any version with today’s data, restore in one step WatchMonitors created by you Turn any measure into an alert in a sentence. Alerts run on the same certified definitions as your reports, so the number that triggers the alert is the number in the board pack. AskTell me every Monday if weekly revenue is down more than 10%, and alert the ops team the same day if the appeals backlog grows 25%. - Business alerts on certified measures - Data quality and drift rules on fields and datasets - Routed to the person who owns the fix GovernPolicy at runtime Every request, from a person or an AI client, is checked against policy before data is returned. Access follows the job, not the tool: define roles and permission groups once and they apply in the portal, in reports and through every AI connection. - Governance gateway for every AI client, with per-client grants - Role-based access to brands, sites, rows and columns - Read-only by default; write changes only as reviewed proposals - Data retention set to your agreement - A record of who asked what, through which client Change safelyPeople approve, always When an agent thinks data or logic should change, it does not make the change. It raises a proposal with its reasoning and the exact change, runs a dry-run check with read-only credentials, and waits for a person to approve it. - Proposals as tickets with title, rationale and SQL - Dry-run plan check without touching data - Human review before anything is applied ShareYour portal, your brand Publish to a secure portal of company reports and alerts. White-label it for your customers and partners, so each one sees their own data, governed by the same rules as your staff. - Company, team and personal report spaces - Shared-with-me view for colleagues’ work - White-label branding for client-facing portals - Certified badge on reports people can rely on Security and trust ## Built so your security lead can say yes. Governance is the primary feature, not a checkbox. These are the controls and assurances in place and on the way. In place**Cyber Essentials Plus** Independently verified UK baseline for cyber security. In place**UK GDPR** Privacy by design, retention to your agreement. In progress**SOC 2 Type II** Independent attestation of our operational controls. Planned**ISO/IEC 42001 and ISO 27001** AI management system and information security certification. ### Controls in the platform - Read-only database credentials and encrypted connections - Policy checks on every request, per person and per AI client - Role and permission groups that follow the job - Agents act only within their knowledge, tools and access - Human approval for every proposed change - Version history on reports and knowledge ### Ready for regulated buyers For financial services, healthcare and public sector customers, we map platform controls to the frameworks your risk team uses, including UK GDPR, the EU AI Act deployer obligations and FCA Consumer Duty, and provide the evidence they ask for during procurement.
