Platform architecture Confidential · for community bank executives

The Everest AI platform — a neuro‑symbolic agentic mesh.

Six interconnected subsystems form the connective tissue of the Everest AI platform — the core fabric that Ozarc.ai stands on. Engineered for scale, compliance, and autonomous banking operations from the foundation up.

The six subsystems

Six pieces. One coherent platform.

Every Everest AI deployment is the same six subsystems, wired the same way, governed the same way. What changes from bank to bank is the policy library and the data shape — not the platform.

01 · COGNITIVE

Cognitive Core

Neuro‑symbolic engine compiling FDIC, GLBA, BSA/AML and bank policy into the model as mathematical constraints — not soft prompts.

LTNScallopDatalog
02 · MOTIVATION

Motivation Engine

Process IRL discovers the “happy path” from your best officers’ behaviour, then infers the reward function behind their judgement.

PM4PyImitation LibraryXES logs
03 · KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge Fabric

A universal banking namespace built on MCP and GraphRAG. Loans, deposits, covenants, customers — all relational, all reasoning‑ready.

MCPGraphRAGNeo4j
04 · ORCHESTRATION

Swarm Orchestrator

Hierarchical swarms of teammates with human‑in‑the‑loop breakpoints for any risk or loan decision. The supervisor pattern, codified.

LangGraphRaySupervisor
05 · INTERFACE

Conversational Interface

SMS‑first, voice‑ready. Reaches 97% of a bank’s customers with no app install, no digital banking enrolment, no friction.

TwilioSendGridSMS / Voice
06 · GOVERNANCE

Governance Sentinel

Every decision logged with the triggering logic axiom. Aligned with SR 11‑7 and the NIST AI RMF. Examiner‑ready by default.

NeMo GuardrailsDeepEvalAudit ledger
The universal connector

MCP — USB‑C for banking data.

A bank’s core, LOS, doc imaging, IRS transcripts, Plaid, credit bureaus — every system surfaced as a standardised Model Context Protocol endpoint. One plug, every shape. Plug it in and the platform can reason over the data immediately, securely, and reversibly.

Every endpoint, internal or external, addressed the same way. mcp://core/loans, mcp://irs/transcripts.

No core surgery

The connector reads through interfaces a bank already maintains. The ledger of record is never written to without a human authorising the action.

Portable

Cores change every 5‑7 years. The teammates don’t. The MCP layer absorbs the new shape; the workforce keeps working.

The cognitive core

Banking rules compiled into the model as mathematics.

FDIC examination criteria, the GLBA Safeguards Rule, BSA/AML provisions and a bank’s own risk-rating policies are compiled into the neural loss function as first-order logic constraints. The result is not a chatbot pretending to know banking — it is a reasoning system that cannot, by mathematical construction, violate the rules it has been given.

Black box → grey box

Every recommendation traces back to the specific axiom that fired. Plain-English reasoning, every time.

Zero hallucination on compliance

Logic Tensor Networks make policy violation mathematically unreachable in the output space.

Examiner-ready

Audit trail tied to a specific logic axiom satisfies SR 11-7 model documentation requirements.

Policy-aware by default

The bank’s own credit policy can be loaded as additional axioms — without retraining.

Defence in depth

Three guardrails wrap every teammate response.

Input, model, output. The input rails strip jailbreaks and NPI before the model ever sees them. The model rails are mathematical constraints inside the network itself. The output rails are a critic agent that checks every response for hallucination and compliance — before it leaves the building.

Layer 01 · Input rails

Before the model reasons.

NeMo Guardrails and Colang policies filter prompt injections, jailbreak attempts, off-topic queries, and any NPI leakage at the gateway. The model never sees what it shouldn’t.

NeMo Guardrails · Colang · NPI vault
Layer 02 · Model rails

Inside the network itself.

Logic Tensor Networks make policy violation mathematically unreachable in the output space. The model cannot, by construction, produce a non-compliant recommendation.

Logic Tensor Networks · Scallop · Datalog
Layer 03 · Output rails

Before the response ships.

A dedicated critic agent reviews every response for hallucination, NPI exposure, fair-lending risk and compliance accuracy — and logs the verdict to the immutable audit ledger.

Bounded autonomy

Two modes. The bank chooses where each teammate sits.

Every teammate operates in one of two modes per workflow. The bank’s risk committee decides which sits where — and can change it at any time, per teammate, per task type.

Copilot

Prepares. Recommends. Defers to a human.

The teammate gathers data, runs the analysis, drafts the recommendation, and pre-fills the form. A human officer retains final authority. Required for risk ratings, loan approvals, and escalated collections.

Loan approvalsRisk ratingsEscalated collectionsAnnual review sign-off
Default mode for any decision that touches the credit file.
Autopilot

Executes only with a mathematical guarantee.

Runs autonomously only when model confidence is > 99% and the neuro-symbolic logic check passes. Reserved for routine, well-bounded actions that the regulators have already cleared as decision-support.

The platform is the foundation. The teammates are how a bank actually sees, uses, and benefits from it.
