On your hardware
AI running inside your own network boundary.
Private AI pilot
A private AI pilot for one department
A fixed-price deployment, in four to six weeks, on hardware you own and control.
What the pilot delivers
Answers from your own documents
Staff ask a question in plain language and get an answer drawn from the documents you have loaded, with the source shown.
Access controls
People see only what they are already permitted to see.
Handover so your team can operate and review it. Operating guide, admin walkthrough and a 90-minute training session.
Document sets
- Policies
- Procedures
- Regulatory notices
Access
Compliance team
Which policy covers sharing customer data with a third party?
Third-party sharing is covered by the data handling standard. Disclosure needs documented approval from the data owner before any transfer.
Data handling standard, s4.2Vendor risk policy, s7.1
Ask a question about your documents
Illustrative interface. Document names and answers are examples.
An example of use
A compliance team loads its internal policies. A staff member asks which policy covers sharing customer data with a third party. The system answers in plain language and shows the policy and section it drew from, so the person can check the source.
Only people who already have access to that policy can see it in an answer.
Who can use it
The pilot covers one department, such as compliance, risk, legal or operations. Wider rollout is a separate decision once you have seen it working.
How it runs
Phases and timings are illustrative.
- Scope (week 0)
We agree the department, document set and success criteria in writing. - Environment and ingestion (weeks 1 to 2)
We install on your hardware and load the agreed documents. - Configuration and testing (weeks 3 to 4)
We set up access controls and your users test it against real questions. - Handover (weeks 4 to 6)
Documentation, a walkthrough and a review of what to do next.
For vendor-risk and procurement teams
Due diligence information
The questions a vendor-risk team usually asks, answered directly. A fuller written response is available on request.
- What data is processed
- Only the documents you choose to load, and the questions your users ask.
- Models and licences
- Open-weight language models, selected with you for the task. Model names, sources and licence terms are provided in writing before deployment.
- Remote access by Maandoh
- None by default. A support session happens only when you start it, on your terms.
- Logging
- Query and access logs are kept on your hardware and belong to you.
- Support and incidents
- Support by email during Singapore business hours. Response times are agreed in the statement of work.
- Exit
- You keep the system, your data and the documentation.
- Continuity
- Maandoh is a one-person firm. See how we handle that.
Comparison
How this differs from AI hosted by a cloud provider
Cloud-hosted AI, including in your own cloud tenant, is a reasonable choice for many organisations. This is where the pilot is different.
| Question | Maandoh private pilot | Cloud-hosted AI |
|---|---|---|
| Where processing runs | On hardware you own, on your premises | On a cloud provider's infrastructure, in a region and account you configure |
| Network connection | Can run with no internet connection | Needs a connection to the cloud service |
| Who operates the platform | Your team, on your hardware | The cloud provider, under its terms |
If your policy allows cloud services and you want to scale quickly, a cloud service may suit you better. The pilot is for cases where policy or risk appetite requires processing to stay on your own premises.
