Platform · How we train AI

Connect every dot. Make sense of all of it.

The strongest enterprise AI isn’t the biggest model. It’s the one that understands how your data connects — and learns from every decision your people make.

Connect every dot

From scattered data to one decision.

Watch seven kinds of enterprise data become a single, grounded decision — and every outcome become training data.

Short answer

We train enterprise AI by connecting every source into one decision context, not by pouring more raw data into a model. Data is ingested where it lives, entities are resolved across systems, relationships become a knowledge graph, each decision retrieves only the grounded slice it needs, forecasting, optimization, rules and LLM reasoning are composed into one decision, and every approval, override and measured outcome flows back as a label that improves the graph, the thresholds and the models.

Why more data and bigger models aren’t enough

Most enterprise AI fails at the seams. The pump in the historian, the asset in the CMMS and the cost center in the ERP are the same thing under three IDs. The SOP that governs it lives in a PDF. The engineer who knows it always fails after a hot week is not in any system at all. A model trained on any one of those sources sees a fragment.

Decision intelligence treats connection as the core training problem: if the context for a decision is complete and correct, even simple models make good recommendations — and large language models stop guessing.

The six steps

  1. Ingest where it livesConnect ERP, MES, historians, sensors, EHR, TMS, documents, tickets and email with connectors and change-data-capture. No big-bang migration.
  2. Resolve entitiesMatch the same asset, order, customer, patient or robot across systems, with confidence scores and human review for ambiguous merges.
  3. Connect a knowledge graphModel relationships — belongs to, feeds, governed by, caused — so the system can follow cause and consequence across silos.
  4. Ground every decisionRetrieve only the relevant slice of the graph, documents and history for the decision at hand; score context health and ask for what is missing.
  5. Compose many modelsForecasts, anomaly detection, optimization, simulation, rules and LLM reasoning each contribute evidence; the decision model weighs them against objectives and authority.
  6. Learn from outcomesApprovals, overrides, reasons and measured results become labeled training data — improving thresholds, rankings and models every cycle.

The feedback loop is the moat

01SignalWhat changed?
02ContextWhat does it mean?
03OptionsWhat could we do?
04EvidenceWhy this action?
05DecideWho has authority?
06ActWhat happens next?
07LearnDid it work?

↺ Every outcome feeds the context of the next decision.

Every override is a free, expert-labeled example of what the model missed. Every outcome closes the loop between prediction and reality. Over months this builds a proprietary dataset no foundation model has: how your organization actually decides, and what happened next.

Techniques we combine

TechniqueWhat it contributes
Entity resolution & record linkageOne trusted identity per asset, order, member or robot
Knowledge graphsRelationships and causal paths across systems
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)LLM answers grounded in your documents and graph, with citations
Time-series forecasting & survival analysisWhen something will fail, run out or arrive
Optimization & simulationBest option under constraints; Monte Carlo cost of waiting
Rules & statistical process controlHard limits, thresholds and compliance
Learning from human feedbackApprovals and overrides as labels; calibrated confidence
Evaluation & guardrailsOffline tests, shadow mode, abstain rules, drift monitoring

Safe by construction

How the AI stays honestModels only see the data a decision needs. When context health is low, the system abstains and asks instead of guessing. Every recommendation carries its evidence, confidence and model versions, and humans keep authority over anything outside the approved envelope. See decision safety.
Key takeaways
  • Connection, not volume, is what makes enterprise AI accurate.
  • Many models composed beat one model stretched.
  • Every human decision is training data — the loop compounds.

Frequently asked questions

How do you train AI on our company data?
By connecting sources into a shared context and knowledge graph, grounding each decision in the relevant slice, composing several model types, and learning continuously from approvals, overrides and outcomes rather than one-off training runs.
Do you fine-tune a large language model on our data?
Usually not first. Grounding with retrieval and a knowledge graph gives better, auditable results. Fine-tuning or smaller task models are added where the feedback data shows they help.
What is a knowledge graph in decision intelligence?
A connected model of your assets, orders, people, rules and documents and how they relate, so the platform can follow cause and consequence across systems.
How does the AI improve over time?
Every approval, override and measured outcome becomes a labeled example that improves thresholds, rankings and models in the next cycle.
