KOREV cognitive architecture

An architecture for putting AI to work without giving up control.

Evidence organizes agents and workflows. Atlas gives them business understanding. PRISM steps in when processing requires reinforced cognitive control.

Category

KOREV is the infrastructure for putting AI into production where the enterprise remains accountable for the outcome.

KOREV combines an environment for business agents, enterprise reasoning intelligence, and a cognitive engine dedicated to critical processing.

Thesis

Why infrastructure, and not yet another tool.

  1. Step 1

    Generative AI is already present in enterprises.

  2. Step 2

    General-purpose models are effective for low-stakes tasks: drafting, summarizing, and exploratory research.

  3. Step 3

    Yet organizations hesitate to entrust them with their truly sensitive processes.

  4. Step 4

    Because a probabilistic answer alone is no longer enough when the enterprise must be able to answer for the data, the models, the processing steps, the approval rules, and the final decision.

  5. Step 5

    KOREV builds the infrastructure that makes it possible to cross this threshold.

Cognitive principles

Three functions. One cognitive system.

KOREV does not stack infrastructure layers: the system organizes operational interaction, business understanding, and the protection of critical decisions.

Operate

The workspace for agents.

Evidence organizes analysis, research, case files, decision preparation, and the production of deliverables across your business processes.

Technology: Evidence

Understand

An intelligence that knows your enterprise.

Atlas is KOREV's reasoning engine: specialized for and grounded in your knowledge to power agents and workflows.

Technology: Atlas

Secure what is critical

Reinforced cognitive control when the stakes require it.

PRISM cross-checks several independent models on critical processing, detects disagreements, and applies your decision policy.

Technology: PRISM

Architecture

An architecture that matches intelligence and control to the process.

Evidence organizes the agents' work. Atlas gives them business understanding. When criticality requires it, PRISM applies reinforced control before delivery.

Evidence organizes the workflow and interacts with Atlas for context and reasoning. After the criticality assessment, processing either follows the standard path or branches to PRISM when critical control is required. The result then returns to Evidence.

Routing by process and policy

The workflow can classify processing by its sensitivity and the applicable policy in order to adjust the level of control.

Standard path
Direct processing

Searches, information summaries, and routine analyses run directly, without systematically triggering multi-model control.

Direct, smooth execution

Result · Sources · Required approvals

Deliverables are returned to the operational workspace with their justifications and the configured human review points.

Operational workspace

Evidence

Operational Intelligence Interface

The workspace where teams use KOREV agents to handle case files, follow the workflow, and deliver the outputs.

Key attributes:
Specialized agents
Case files under review
Business workflows
Sourced deliverables
Cross-cutting framework · Built into the architecture:
  • Human oversight
  • Sources & trace
  • Governance
  • Data control

The point is not adding one more model. It is knowing which one to use, under which rules, and when to suspend its result.

01 · Operational workspaceWhere does the user work?

Evidence — Operational Intelligence Interface

The workspace for KOREV agents

Specialized agentsCase review filesBusiness workflowsSourced deliverablesHuman approvals

Evidence is the operational environment in which your teams work with specialized AI agents, designed around your business flows, rules, and knowledge. It coordinates the agents across the steps of the process, flags sensitive issues, and returns usable results with the traceability elements defined by the workflow — your experts keep the decision.

02 · Domain intelligenceWhere does business understanding come from?

Atlas — Enterprise Reasoning Intelligence

KOREV's business brain

Enterprise contextInternal reference frameworksBusiness languageDeductive reasoningShared cognitive foundation

Atlas gives Evidence agents a semantic understanding of your environment. It draws on the internal documents, procedures, and rules specific to your organization to interpret each task with discernment, without claiming to blindly inject all your data into its neural parameters.

03 · Operational doctrineThe conceptual pivot

Not every task needs the same level of control.

The KOREV architecture dynamically adjusts the intensity of control to the actual criticality of the operation. This avoids needlessly weighing down simple processing while applying maximum rigor to high-stakes actions.

Standard flow · Routine processing

Direct path

Document searches, information summaries, and exploratory analyses run directly through Evidence and Atlas, on a routine path separate from reinforced critical control, without unnecessary multi-model computation.

Critical flow · Sensitive processing

PRISM activation

When the applicable criticality policy requires it (a regulatory judgment call, a contractual commitment, or a financial decision), PRISM can be called on to cross-check several models and apply the approval policy.

04 · Critical cognitive engineWhat happens when risk increases?

PRISM — Critical Cognitive Engine

KOREV's critical brain

Critical contextIndependent modelsAdversarial cross-checkingDocumented 2/3 quorumPolicy engineConditional fail-closed suspensionHuman arbitration

PRISM maintains the state and context the critical case requires, calls on several independent intelligences, cross-checks their conclusions and applies your decision policy. If the required criteria are not met, PRISM suspends automatic use of the result and forwards the complete case file to an authorized reviewer.

Delivery & output

The result returns to Evidence with everything needed to review it.

The operational loop closes in the workspace: the result is delivered with all the elements required to check it, according to the workflow concerned — cited sources, a trace of the steps, the controls applied, and the decision brief. For critical outputs submitted to the finalization pipeline, an integrity artifact can make it possible to verify their integrity, depending on the pipeline concerned. The expert keeps final approval and legal responsibility.

Deployment

Where should the system run? Separate cognition from infrastructure.

The allocation of cognitive roles (Evidence, Atlas, PRISM) is independent of the hosting model. KOREV adapts to your confidentiality and compliance requirements.

KOREV maintains a generic, sector-specific Atlas foundation. For an organization, a dedicated instance can be created and then specialized using datasets prepared and vetted by KOREV teams. This version is deployed within the client's architecture and complements its training through the dynamic use of authorized documents, procedures, and reference frameworks. The runtime can be private, hybrid, or hosted in a dedicated European environment. Data used to specialize one client is not used to train another client's instance without explicit agreement.

Operational deployment mode

The cognitive layer (Evidence, Atlas, PRISM) keeps its structural roles whatever hosting perimeter is chosen.

Adaptation plane · Dedicated Atlas specialization

Outside production · Governed cycles

KOREV maintains a shared Atlas foundation for general capabilities. For each organization, a dedicated instance can be specialized through training on prepared and vetted datasets, separately from production execution.

01 · Shared foundation

KOREV Atlas

Generic & sector-specific foundation

Evolves on sector corpora kept separate from private client datasets.

02 · Partitioning

Dedicated instance

Isolated client base

Each client has an isolated base, with no model pooling.

03 · Business data

Enterprise datasets

Prepared & vetted

Curated and validated by KOREV engineering and data science.

Controlled specialization

Outside production

Supervised training on dedicated infrastructure: validated dataset, formal versioning, evaluation benchmarks, and controlled promotion.

Specialized client Atlas

Controlled version

Model version frozen and deployed within the client perimeter. Production interactions never trigger automatic retraining.

Version promotion to the operational runtime

Future changes through governed, periodic adaptation cycles (no uncontrolled loop in production)

Capabilities backed by technical evidence.

Every public signal is tied to an explicit method, scope, and limitation.

Documented mechanismDocumented

14

Documented agent profiles

14 active profiles under agents/: compliance, contradictor, default, developer, finance, hacker, infrastructure, legal_drafting_guarded, legal_safe, marketing, medical, multitask, researcher, sales. The _example folder is excluded.

Limit: Refers to profiles configured in the Evidence orchestrator, not to 14 distinct AIs or proprietary models.

Documented mechanismDocumented

3 levels

Criticality routing (LEVEL 1 / 2 / 3)

CriticalityRouter architecture (ADR-010 / ADR-011): LEVEL 1 (simple request: consensus bypassed by default, source baseline mandatory); LEVEL 2 (professional zone: analysis/advice, consensus can be enabled through explicit user opt-in or caller force_consensus, source baseline); LEVEL 3 (critical decision, liability, dispute, critical action: PRISM consensus mandatory, strict mode if the domain is critical). Fail-closed always takes priority in case of ambiguity.

Limit: PRISM consensus is not enabled uniformly across all interactions: it is triggered conditionally, according to the policy and the assessed criticality level.

Documented mechanismDocumented · 2026-09-17

5 required checks

Controlled production deployment chain

Production release chain for the Evidence backend: protected main branch, mandatory PR, 5 required checks, enforce_admins, build/deploy guardrails, drain before restart, /healthz, and VERSION.json.build_commit.

Limit: Proves deployment discipline and release traceability; it is neither a measured SLA, nor a security certification, nor proof that no incident has occurred.

Documented mechanismDocumented

2/3

Documented quorum

Canonical run_consensus() API: a 2/3 quorum of the valid votes cast by the cross-checked models is required.

Limit: Multi-model consensus reduces the risk of error from a single model but is not a mathematical guarantee of absolute truth.

Cross-cutting

Five mechanisms built into the architecture, not added afterward.

Human oversight

Approval points defined per process; automatic escalation when the conditions are not met.

Audit trail

Models, sources, controls, approvals, and decisions retained, timestamped, and reviewable.

Governance

Rules, permissions, responsibilities, and history built natively into the architecture.

Security

Encryption, flow isolation, access management, and logging in the chosen environment.

Data control

Data location, movement, and processing defined and governed by the organization.

Regulatory compliance depends on the context, the system, its use, and the organization's role. KOREV provides technical governance capabilities; on its own, it does not constitute a legal certification of compliance.
