Cognistone
architecture

One platform. Seven layers. Built for evidence.

Cognistone is a stack of seven integrated layers, each composable, each instrumented, each accountable.

the stack

Seven layers, one accountable system.

01

Integration

Connectors to SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Ariba, Ivalua, Workday, NetSuite, CLM, AP, supplier portals, market data feeds, Excel, and contract repositories.

02

Data

Bronze, Silver, Gold. Normalization, validation, and field-level lineage on every record.

03

Intelligence

LPP, SPA, arbitrage, payment terms, leakage, should-cost, spec harmonization. Procurement-specific engines, not generic BI.

04

Decision

Opportunity cards as the universal action object. AI proposes, humans approve.

05

Workflow

Sourcing events, contract reviews, supplier actions, approval workflows. End-to-end source-to-pay.

06

Evidence

Every KPI drills to evidence. Citations on every AI answer. Audit-grade lineage.

07

Governance

RBAC, ABAC, and RLS. Three-layer AI permission enforcement. Methodology badges. A clear compliance roadmap.

performance posture

Speed is a feature, with numbers to hold us to.

Page transitions under 100ms perceived

Filter application under 50ms, optimistic

AI first token under 1.5s

Issue tree level expansion under 200ms

Chart render under 400ms for 10k points

Virtualized table scroll at 60fps on 100k rows

trust posture

Security is the product.

Multi-tenancy

Hard isolation between tenants at every layer of the stack.

RBAC + ABAC + RLS

Role, attribute, and row-level controls, composed and enforced together.

Field-level lineage

Every value traces to its transformation, column, row, file, uploader, and timestamp.

Three-layer AI enforcement

Retrieval scope, prompt scope injection, and a post-hoc tool-result filter, tested as a CI contract.

Audit log

Every read, write, and AI action recorded with full context for review.

Compliance roadmap

ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and GDPR alignment are on the roadmap. We state what is in progress, not what is done.

integrations

Documented source systems.

These are supported source systems, not customer logos. We add one only when it is genuinely supported.
