AI / GenAI / Agentic AI

AI modeled as enterprise architecture - not a bolt-on.

Models, agents, retrieval, memory, tools, guardrails, evaluation and agent identity are first-class parts of the solution model, with the same rigor as data and infrastructure.

Agentic AI

An agentic request, modeled end to end.

Identity, gateway, orchestration, retrieval, tools, memory and human approval - each an addressable, governable part of the architecture.

From the reference model

The AI plane of a real reference architecture.

These are the AI components of the illustrative Enterprise AI Knowledge & Decision Platform - each projected from the same model that drives the interactive blueprint.

Projected from the reference model

Every AI component above is part of the same Enterprise Solution Model behind thereference blueprint - with guardrails, evaluation, model routing and fallback modeled as first-class concerns.

Supported concerns

The AI architecture surface it covers.

  • GenAI
  • Agentic AI
  • RAG
  • LLM gateways
  • Model routing
  • Embeddings
  • Vector databases
  • Agent orchestration
  • Agent memory
  • Tool use
  • Guardrails
  • Evaluation
  • Human approval
  • AI observability
  • AI cost / token economics
  • Agent identity & permissions

Guardrails & evaluation

Policy checks on inputs and outputs, plus evaluation harnesses - modeled as controls, not afterthoughts.

Agent identity & permissions

Agents are principals with scoped permissions and audit trails - treated as first-class identities.

Cost & token economics

Inference and token cost enter the cost model, so AI scale is funded and bounded, not a surprise.

Design the AI system before you deploy it.
