AI Backend, Integration & Modernization Studio

From AI Ambition to Working Production Systems

Inovativi builds the backend, integration, retrieval, approval, and modernization layers that make LLM-driven workflows reliable in production — deterministic orchestration, custom evaluation gates, and enterprise-grade security wrapped around every model call.

Senior technical ownership and direct engineering accountability for VC-backed startup CTOs, enterprise transformation leaders, and tier-1 delivery partners across the US, UK, and DACH.

The production gap

Most AI prototypes never reach production

Models can reason. Demos can impress. What they cannot do on their own is act safely inside a real business — with permissions, validation, audit trails, and operational reliability. That is where most AI initiatives stall, and that is where Inovativi works.

  • Demos do not survive contact with real data, real users, and real systems
  • Agents need governed access to tools, not raw access to production
  • Backend reliability, retries, and audit trails are not optional in production
  • Cloud, hybrid, and on-prem deployment realities shape what is actually buildable

How AI reaches production safely

Business System → Gateway → AI Workflow → Approval → Audit

The same five steps run behind every Inovativi system: a real business system is exposed through a secure gateway, AI works only inside that controlled surface, sensitive actions pass a human approval gate, and every step is recorded. Nervora, our internal MCP gateway reference architecture, demonstrates these patterns with tool-level RBAC, PII redaction, async execution, idempotency, and audit logs.

How we put AI into production

One controlled pattern, from your systems to a governed AI workflow

AI only creates value when it can act on real systems — safely. We wrap finance, HR, ERP, CRM, and legacy apps in a governed gateway, run controlled AI workflows on top, surface them through an operator-facing layer, and keep every action audited and reviewable.

Your systems stay the source of truth

Finance, HR, ERP, CRM, and legacy apps keep running as the system of record. AI reads and writes through governed interfaces — never around them.

Governed access through Nervora

Every tool call is authenticated and permission-checked: identity, RBAC, approval, redaction, idempotency, and a full audit trail on each action.

Controlled AI workflows, not free-roaming agents

RAG, agents, and rules run inside durable, inspectable workflows that take structured actions — with a human in the loop wherever it matters.

Operated and overseen

Operanto turns the workflow into a working surface — inbox, quoting, CRM, approvals — while monitoring and review keep the whole system accountable.

Selected Work

Systems That Prove the Pattern

Across AI operations, institutional modernization, and computer vision, each project demonstrates the same pattern: connect real data, real users, real rules, and real operational constraints.

Portfolio items include internal products, reference architectures, technical lab initiatives, and concept demonstrations. They are labelled transparently to show the type and maturity of each project — not implying confidential client work.

What we build

Connected capabilities for production AI systems

Enterprise RAG, document intelligence, deterministic workflows, AI backend engineering, evaluation, computer vision, AI-assisted commerce, technical lab signals, and legacy modernization — delivered as one connected execution layer, not separate service lines.

Production RAG & Hybrid Search

Retrieval over messy, regulated enterprise data — PDFs, contracts, tenders, policies, emails, reports, tables, and internal knowledge bases. Hybrid search (BM25 + vectors), reranking, metadata filters, source citations, factual groundedness, and permission-aware results.

Document Intelligence & Structured Extraction

Pipelines that convert PDFs, scans, tables, legal judgments, procurement notices, invoices, and forms into reliable structured data — with validation rules, JSON outputs, and human review loops.

Deterministic Orchestration Layers

Controlled AI workflows split into deterministic PLAN → EXECUTE → COMPOSE sub-workflows with defined states, business rules, approval steps, and audit logs — LangGraph-style state machines, conditional routing, idempotent tool execution, and human-in-the-loop approvals.

AI Backend Engineering

Production APIs, databases, queues, storage, authentication, monitoring, cost controls, and integrations — FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Qdrant/pgvector, Redis, Docker, background jobs, observability, and secure deployment.

LLM Evaluation Suites & Quality Gates

Custom eval harnesses, prompt regression testing, and automated quality gates in CI. Factual groundedness, context recall, answer relevance, hallucination checks, prompt-injection controls, and sensitive-data protection — measured before anything ships.

Legacy Modernization & Shadow-Core Architectures

Modernize existing systems without a risky big-bang replacement — enterprise shadow-core architectures, Oracle/PostgreSQL synchronization, data migration, idempotent runtimes, comparison engines, and read-only adapters. Includes full domain-driven rebuilds of institutional finance and HR systems from legacy ASP.NET into API-first platforms.

Sovereign Multi-Model AI Infrastructure

Vendor-independent AI systems with private deployment, model routing, audit trails, fallback paths, and human control — open-weight, EU/Swiss hosting, premium escalation, and provider-blackout continuity.

Vendor independence

AI infrastructure without single-vendor lock-in

Inovativi builds vendor-independent AI systems that combine open-weight models, European infrastructure, premium frontier APIs, deterministic business logic, and human oversight.

The result is an AI architecture that can adapt when providers, prices, regulations, or operational requirements change.

01

Open-weight models

For control, portability, and cost efficiency.

02

European infrastructure

For sovereignty and procurement flexibility.

03

Premium frontier APIs

For advanced reasoning when appropriate.

04

Deterministic logic & human fallback

Approvals and deterministic software fallback for operational continuity.

No single model provider should be able to shut down your business.

Flagship engagements

Three ways to engage — from scoping to production

Pick the entry point that matches where you are: define the build, embed senior engineers in your stack, or modernize the systems underneath.

2–4 weeks · fixed scope

AI Implementation Sprint

A targeted engagement to define enterprise use cases, architecture boundaries, retrieval and evaluation strategy, and a concrete technical roadmap — the fixed-scope step that turns an LLM ambition into an accountable build plan.

Embedded · monthly

Forward-Deployed AI Engineering

Hands-on delivery inside your production stack — production LLM applications, secure API integration layers, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and deterministic data orchestration built and hardened alongside your team.

Phased · quarterly tranches

Modernization & Integration Tranche

Phased architectural replacement of brittle operational workflows with governed services, auditable data connectors, and legacy shadow-core architectures — proven on SIGTAS, public-finance, CRM, and HR system integrations.

  3. Step 3

    Modernization Tranche

Governance, safety & cost control

Controlled execution, not raw model access

Production AI systems need more than model access. They need controlled execution. We design AI workflows with permission-aware retrieval, tool-level RBAC, prompt-injection safeguards, PII handling, audit trails, approval gates, and deterministic validation before sensitive actions reach production systems.

Safety & governance

  • Tool-level RBAC and permission-aware retrieval
  • Prompt-injection mitigation and input sanitization
  • PII redaction and anonymization at the boundary
  • Approval gates before write actions
  • Audit logs for every tool call and agent action
  • Human-in-the-loop review for sensitive decisions
  • Deterministic validation before production writes
  • Fallback handling and error recovery

Cost control & token economics

  • Token budgets per request, per workflow, per tenant
  • Model routing — small models where they fit, large where they earn it
  • Semantic caching to avoid repeated work
  • Loop limits and circuit breakers on agent execution
  • Usage monitoring and cost dashboards or logs
  • Retry policies and dead-letter handling for failed jobs

We build AI workflows with cost visibility from the start: token budgets, loop limits, model routing, semantic caching, usage monitoring, and circuit breakers that prevent uncontrolled agent execution.
