1.2 Enterprise Architecture Principles
- Data Gravity Rule — sensitive data must never leave the enterprise perimeter in plaintext
- Zero-Knowledge by Default — no external service ever has access to customer plaintext
- Least-Privilege Operations — every component operates with minimum required access
- Defence in Depth — multiple independent verification layers across every boundary
- Observability by Design — every action is logged, auditable, and traceable
- No Single Point of Trust — distributed trust with MPC, dual-key, and split-secret architectures

- Multi-region active-active for cloud deployments (East US 2, West Europe, Southeast Asia)
- Quarterly DR tests with documented evidence for SOC2/ISO 27001
- Chaos engineering — scheduled node failure simulation, state corruption injection
- Sovereignty fail-closed — when RTO exceeded, all cross-boundary traffic severed until integrity verified

- All versions documented in product-specific documentation
11. Architecture Decision Records
| ADR |
Decision |
Rationale |
| ADR-001 |
OpenAI-compatible API as universal connector |
Zero code changes for enterprise adoption; ecosystem compatibility |
| ADR-002 |
Redis for hot cache, PostgreSQL for operational DB |
Redis provides sub-millisecond TTL-driven caching; PostgreSQL provides ACID compliance for domain data |
| ADR-003 |
Nginx as unified API gateway |
Single entry point simplifies security posture; WebSocket proxy built-in |
| ADR-004 |
MPC key splitting for admin controls |
No single point of trust; compliance with regulatory requirements for separation of duties |
| ADR-005 |
Local SLM for L1/L2 (not cloud API) |
Zero data leaves enterprise for inspection; offline capability; latency predictability |
| ADR-006 |
Format-preserving encryption over hashing |
Maintains AI reasoning capability; structure-preserving allows LLM to process context naturally |
