OIDA for consulting

Every project team’s AI, working from the firm’s current decision.

Methodology standards, account rulings, rate cards and quality decisions are scattered across practices, offices and years of engagements. OIDA keeps track of which applies, for which practice or account, and serves it to the AI assistants the firm has approved.

Five questions a search through slide decks cannot settle today.

These are not search questions. They are questions of state: which standard, for which account, since when and whether the lead has decided. Here is how OIDA answers.

Illustrative examples. Choose a question and compare the answer and sources.

The solution

A shared memory that grows as your company grows, and builds your own intelligence, for full sovereignty over your data.

Three slide decks and a chat thread disagree. Only one ruling is in force.

A consultant asks in the assistant the firm has approved. The answer includes the standard, the account ruling and the open conflict.

ADF v4, under methods board MB-2026-03, from 1 March 2026. Corvane Insurance has a scoped exception on v3, and a delivery channel message about waterfall is an open conflict: recorded, not applied.

Three moments when the registry speaks your language.

  1. 01

    Writing a proposal

    A partner’s AI assembles the proposal using the methodology, rate card and quality terms current for that sector, and flags those under review.

  2. 02

    Joining an account

    A consultant new to the account asks how the client handles data residency. The answer is the account ruling, its scope and its source, without reading three old slide decks.

  3. 03

    After the engagement

    Decisions made during delivery are recorded with owners and evidence. The next team inherits the state and its history.

Architecture and sovereignty

Your decisions stay with you, even when you change AI.

Decisions stay in a registry separate from the AI model. In Cloud, data is in the database we run and each organisation has its own workspace. For enterprise integration we talk directly to your IT department and keep your data in your own infrastructure, with your own policy.

  • No trainingOIDA trains no model on the data in the registry. The dataset stays yours: any use starts from a decision of yours.

Your data stays where you decideOriginals stay in their systems; OIDA retains submitted sources.

The model is the tenant. The structure is yours.

Data sovereignty starts with where data is stored and who can access it: we define those boundaries together for the pilot. AI sovereignty starts with a memory separate from the model, queryable through MCP, the protocol that connects assistants to external tools. You can change compatible assistants while keeping the same registry.

  • Boundaries. Where the registry lives and who may read it is your call, settled before the pilot starts.

  • Models. Authorised assistants query the same registry, kept separate from models.

  • Permissions. Access by workspace, actions by role. Applicability scope is not a reading permission.

  • Efficiency. Answers carry excerpts, state and references. Use the pilot to assess the context your agent needs.

Accelerated in Turin, with a scientific advisor from MIT.

OIDA is accelerated within Kakashi Venture Accelerator, an AI-native venture studio based in Turin, with senior scientific advisor Pierfrancesco Beneventano, researcher in machine learning theory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The method is described in a publication with public evaluation corpora.

We publish what we learn.

All publications

Works with the clients you already have.

Connect a compatible client and authorise workspace access. Your agent can query decisions, sources and states through MCP. Another authorised AI client can consult the same registry.

Frequently asked questions.

How to start, who approves, who can read, and what works today.

Does OIDA replace our knowledge management platform?

No. Slide decks, playbooks and engagement files stay where they are. OIDA holds decision state: which standard, ruling or rate card is current, for which practice or account, and the supporting excerpts.

Can rules be defined by practice, account or country?

Yes. Scope is part of every decision and every answer. A firm-wide standard and an account exception coexist, each served only where it applies.

Who approves in a firm with many practices?

In reviewed mode, owners and admins approve, such as methods, quality and risk leads. In peer mode, members can approve too. Decisions inferred from prose remain candidates until someone explicitly approves them.

Does confidential client material leave the firm?

OIDA Cloud stores the source text you submit, decision records and references. The workspace is the access boundary; MCP answers contain excerpts. Writes are audited; capturing successful calls is optional and requires owner consent.

Is OIDA an assistant or a chat?

OIDA is a decision registry your AI assistant can query. Keep working in your existing compatible client. You record the relevant sources: OIDA does not automatically listen to calls or conversations.

Who approves a decision?

By default, owners and admins approve. Member contributions stay proposed. An owner can enable peer governance, allowing members to approve decisions too. Inferences from prose stay proposed. Ontology changes always require separate approval by an owner or admin.

Does OIDA train models on our data?

OIDA Cloud stores decisions, evidence and history without training models. OIDA Intelligence is a separate pipeline, not connected to Cloud and off by default. Using it requires an owner-admitted dataset, recorded rules and evaluation before a candidate model is approved.

Which clients work today?

Claude Code, Cursor and Codex have completed a real end-to-end run. ChatGPT in developer mode, the Claude apps and GitHub Copilot in VS Code follow the vendor’s published setup path. Any client supporting Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1 can connect. Clients that send only a static header cannot.

Start with one decision. Check what your AI answers.

Choose a decision that changed recently: an offer, a procedure or a policy. Bring the earlier source and the approved one.

  1. 01

    Create your workspace

    Sign up with your email and organisation name. Confirm your email when requested and sign in to your workspace.

  2. 02

    Connect your assistant

    Follow the installation guide: copy OIDA’s address into a compatible assistant’s settings and authorise access.

  3. 03

    Record, approve, check

    Ask your assistant to propose a map of topics and scopes, then approve it. Record the decision with its source, approve it and ask what applies now.
