PRIVATE AI ANALYTICS

Answers people can examine. AI use your organization can govern.

Two products, one controlled path

Make business data easier to use without giving up control.

EntailDB turns questions into reviewable database analysis. Ardua AI controls which models may receive the data and records the decisions it governs. Each product can stand alone; together they form Private AI Analytics.

ENTAILDB

Ask questions of your business data.

Explore connected databases in plain language, refine the analysis through conversation, and open the Work panel to inspect SQL and rows.

  • Read-only query controls
  • Database-derived schema context
  • Charts built from returned data

ARDUA AI

Control how AI uses sensitive information.

Apply local policy before data reaches a model, keep restricted work on approved local paths, and preserve evidence of governed decisions.

  • Local and approved cloud models
  • Policy checks at action boundaries
  • Decision records without raw-data copies

01

Investigate

Ask follow-up questions when a fixed report cannot anticipate the next one.

02

04

Account

Review the handling decisions Ardua AI governed and why they were made.

A failure worth catching

The query ran. The result looked plausible. It was wrong.

In a live exercise using sample data, a join inflated category totals by 14–71× while still naming the correct leader. EntailDB now has a targeted check for that exact aggregate-join pattern.

Public-sector and data-sovereign deployment

Keep sensitive data and AI operations under local control.

Ardua AI supports deployments in which protected information, policy decisions, and eligible model processing remain on infrastructure an institution controls. Local inference can reduce dependence on recurring per-use charges, while approved cloud models remain available when policy and economics justify them.

Private AI consulting

Move from a compelling demo to a decision you can defend.

A focused engagement configures the products around your data, recurring questions, operating constraints, and success criteria. The result is evidence for whether to operate, expand, or stop.
