Why Kenerix and how we differ
Enterprise data platforms assume a data team. AI security tools assume a security team.
Kenerix assumes you have neither to spare. It brings federation, a semantic layer, runtime governance and governed agents into one platform that a lean team can run, instead of five products and the integration work between them.
What makes Kenerix different
Ten design choices, each made for companies with more data than people.
Query in place, no copy
Federation reads external sources where they sit, so you start without a migration, a new warehouse or another copy of sensitive data.
Host only what needs hosting
Files, sheets and slow systems can be imported into Kenerix-hosted storage. Federated and hosted data look the same to everything above them.
One data map across every source
Entities, joins and relationships are modelled once and work across systems, including keys that match only after cleaning, with the rule written down.
Semantics you own
Kenerix inherits names, types and keys from each source, then lets you override business names, descriptions, classifications and units without touching the source system.
Governance as a runtime
Policies are evaluated at the moment of every request, per person and per AI client, not logged for a retrospective audit. Governance is the platform, not an add-on.
Read-only first, people approve change
AI works with read access. Proposed changes to data arrive as tickets, dry-run checked, for a person to approve. Nothing is written behind your back.
Knowledge that compounds
Every certified concept, measure and report makes the next answer more accurate. The knowledge base is visible, versioned and owned by your team.
Open to the AI you choose
Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or your own agents connect through one governed gateway. Change model provider without rebuilding your data foundation.
Your brand, your customers
White-label the portal and give each of your customers governed access to their own data. Data becomes a service you can sell, not a favour you do.
Delivered with you, not to you
A UK team that starts with your questions, runs the first build alongside your people and leaves them able to run it. Proven first on our own operations.
How Kenerix compares
Where Kenerix sits among the tools you may already be considering.
A fair, general comparison by category. Individual products vary, and many companies use Kenerix alongside their existing BI or warehouse.

The data autonomy ladder
Most mid-sized companies are on the first or second rung. Kenerix takes you to the third in weeks.
Exports and spreadsheets
Data pulled from each system by hand and joined in Excel. Every answer is a project.
Dashboards built for you
A BI tool on one or two sources. New questions still go to the report queue.
Self-service on governed data
Every source on one map, measures defined once, anyone asks in plain English, each person sees only their data.
Governed agents that act
Agents watch the measures, raise alerts, build apps and keep datasets fresh, inside the rules you set and with people approving change.
Compare us properly.
We’ll run a side-by-side on your own questions and data, and give you a written assessment you can use whatever you decide.
