Frequently Asked Questions

Orthogramic is an enterprise intelligence platform that uses governed semantic reasoning to transform your business documents into institutional-quality deliverables. Unlike generic AI tools, every output we produce comes with complete provenance—you can trace any claim back to its source documents.

We serve investment professionals across private equity, business brokerage, search funds, management consulting, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices, helping them produce audit-ready analysis in a fraction of the traditional time.

The key differences are:

• Complete Provenance: Every claim in our outputs traces back to source documents. Click any statement to see exactly where it came from.

• Structured Intelligence: Documents are mapped to our 24-domain Orthogramic Metamodel, enabling cross-referencing and validation across your entire document set.

The Governed Semantic Reasoning Engine (GSRE) is our patent-pending technology that powers all Orthogramic outputs. It's a general-purpose, metamodel-governed reasoning system designed to produce auditable, accountable, and structurally coherent intelligence.

Key capabilities include:

• Document Ingestion: Unified processing across all business document formats
• Semantic Mapping: Transform heterogeneous inputs into governed structures
• Constraint Validation: Multi-dimensional validation across all inferences
• Conflict Resolution: Governed arbitration when sources disagree
• Provenance Tracking: Complete record of transformations and decisions

The GSRE embeds governance directly into the reasoning lifecycle—not as an afterthought, but as a foundational principle.

The Orthogramic Metamodel is our open-source semantic foundation that provides 24 interconnected business domains—from Strategy to Finance, Markets to Operations. It creates a universal business grammar that enables:

• Structural Coherence: All data maps to validated, interconnected concepts
• Cross-Reference Validation: Automatically identify conflicts and consistencies across documents
• Impact Analysis: Understand how changes in one domain affect others
• Machine-Readable: JSON Schema definitions enable automation and integration

Unlike ad-hoc schemas, the metamodel provides a canonical foundation for enterprise analysis.

Every output from Orthogramic includes complete provenance—a full lineage chain showing exactly how each claim was derived:

• Source Documents: Which specific pages, sections, or cells contributed to the claim
• Extracted Facts: The raw data points pulled from those sources
• Governed Inference: The reasoning rules and constraints applied
• Output Claim: The final statement with confidence assessment

Click any claim in your deliverables to instantly see this full chain. Answer "where did this come from?" in seconds, not hours.

The Hierarchical Governance Control Plane (HGCP) is our enterprise infrastructure layer that provides hardware-enforced governance for AI systems. It ensures:

• Air-Gapped Options: On-premise or private cloud deployment for data sovereignty

HGCP is particularly valuable for regulated industries and institutional investors with strict governance requirements.
