Direction, not a price list

What we're building next — and why we're not selling it yet.

The ownership thesis needs all three layers to make sense, so we publish all three. But we only take money for what we can prove today, and these four are not there yet. Each one below states the gate: the specific thing that has to be true before we would quote it.

The four

On-Prem Migration
Layer 2 · Infrastructure · 3–9 months · Milestones
Moving workloads out of metered cloud and onto hardware you own, in a colo or your own rack.
GateOne delivered migration as a reference. Until then we assess and specify, and refer execution to a partner who has done it.
Managed On-Prem
Layer 2 · Infrastructure · Ongoing · Retainer
Running the hardware after the move — the answer to "who owns 3am?", which is the question that decides most repatriation deals.
GateA migration reference first, and the on-call capacity to honour it. A retainer we cannot staff is worse than no retainer.
AI Readiness Review
Layer 3 · Intelligence · 2 weeks · Fixed fee
Which of your workloads should run on your own models, which should stay on an API, and which should not use a model at all.
GateProfessional indemnity cover in force, since this is advisory work in a domain where being wrong is expensive for the client.
Private AI Stack
Layer 3 · Intelligence · 6–12 weeks · Milestones
Open-weights models on your own GPUs, for the narrow high-volume work where that genuinely beats an API — classification, extraction, tagging, routing, embeddings.
GateA delivered readiness review, and honesty about the split: hard reasoning and long-context work still belongs on a frontier API, and pretending otherwise is discovered in week two.

Why publish this at all

Because the alternative is worse in both directions. Hiding the roadmap makes the ownership argument incoherent — you cannot claim infrastructure and intelligence matter and then only ever mention software. Listing them as though we sell them makes us a firm that claims three capabilities and has one.

So this page exists and has nothing to click. Managed On-Prem is probably the best long-term business in the catalogue — recurring, sticky, and the answer to “who owns 3am?”, which is the question that actually decides repatriation deals. We would still rather sell it a year late than a year early.

If one of these is what you actually need today, the honest answer is that we would assess it and refer the execution to someone with a referenceable record — and we would tell you that in the first conversation, not the fifth. That is described on the Cloud Exit Assessment page, which is the one place this overlaps with something we do sell.
