Runtime model
The model is manufacturing equipment—not the finished asset.
Frontier models are used during design and build. Production authority is packaged into a specialist runtime with explicit controls, stable economics, and enterprise ownership.
Rented intelligence
Model as permanent runtime
- Provider remains inside every core transaction
- Behavior and economics depend on external inference
- Policy is reconstructed through prompts
- Process learning compounds to the platform
- Switching threatens operating continuity
Owned intelligence
Model as manufacturing input
- Models accelerate design, compilation, and testing
- Reviewed artifacts govern production execution
- Authority, audit, and escalation are explicit
- Operating knowledge compounds to the enterprise
- The runtime transfers as an owned asset
Manufacture
Models interpret policies, cases, schemas, and operating knowledge to generate classifiers, guards, action templates, tests, and workflow logic. Experts review and version the resulting artifacts.
Certify
Each workflow receives a defined autonomy level, approved operating conditions, evidence requirements, intervention rules, and release gates.
Operate
The runtime executes approved actions through enterprise systems, records its reasons, and escalates unfamiliar or authority-exceeding situations.
Govern
Performance, exceptions, policy changes, audit evidence, and autonomy-level progression are managed as an operating system—not an informal prompt practice.
Transfer
Source artifacts, deployment infrastructure, operating knowledge, governance records, and the improvement loop transfer to the client under a build-operate-transfer structure.
