Costs you can audit

Metered and itemised down to the working turn. You always know what an outcome cost.

What we hold to

Four commitments

01

Gates that can stop work

Design review, peer review and security, each with a human in the loop.

02

You own everything

Products ship as standard repositories with their own documentation and runbooks.

03

Transparent economics

Metered and itemised down to the working turn.

04

Built for scrutiny

Role-based access on every action, and every change recorded.

Delivery modelYou choose where it runs. Everything above holds in all three.
On-premise

Runs inside your own network on hardware you own.

Private cloud

Your cloud account, your region, your keys.

Managed service

We host and run it end to end.

Bring us the backlog you want cleared

A scoping conversation costs nothing and ends with a working prototype, built and demonstrated by Cognivo. Your infrastructure, your governance, from day one.
