Regulated practices

For legal, medical, financial, and other regulated practices where data residency, audit trails, and on-premise control are non-negotiable. Tier 4 is the only honest answer.

The situation

The shape of the problem

The practice has work that AI agents could absolutely accelerate - intake triage, document summarisation, scheduling, basic correspondence. But the moment data starts flowing to a third-party AI provider, the compliance officer raises a hand. Where is the data going? Who has access? What's the retention? What happens in a subject access request?

The honest answer for most off-the-shelf AI products is: not enough control. For a regulated practice, that's a deal-breaker, not a feature request.

Tier 4 changes the model. The agents are deployed to the practice's own infrastructure, the practice is the sole Data Controller, and our involvement ends at handover (with optional support). The compliance officer gets a deployment they can audit and a set of agents that don't phone home.

The hire

The shape of the hire

Shape of the hire
  • Recommended tier
    Tier 4 (always - this audience does not fit Tier 1-3)
  • Recommended agents
    Custom configuration based on the specific practice. Common patterns include intake triage, document summarisation, internal-only research assistance
  • Typical timeline
    4-8 weeks for a Tier 4 build, depending on complexity
  • Why this shape
    Tier 1-3 multi-tenant infrastructure is incompatible with the practice's compliance posture. Only Tier 4 self-hosted preserves the data residency and audit trail required.

In a regulated environment, the AI question isn't "can it speed this up" - it's "can we explain to an auditor where the data went". Tier 4 is the only honest answer. The agents run on your infrastructure, your DPO holds the keys, and we hand over with documentation that survives an audit.
