Own your AI. On-premise.

Verifiable compute for AI work that has to be audited. Built to be checked, not trusted. Run inference and training inside your perimeter. Hold your own keys. Train across your sites with federated learning, without exposing raw data. Every result leaves a receipt your auditors can check. Your proprietary data never becomes someone else’s training data.

An organization is a grove.

Your team’s machines are its trees. Same membership, same ladder, same score as any other grove, with no separate tier to negotiate. Identity, roles, and access are enforced in the app; group messaging and cluster coordination are end-to-end encrypted.

The common ground

Four problems underneath every industry.

Problem 01
Business logic
The rules that run the business live in code no one can fully see. Citrate runs that logic as work that proves itself. Every decision leaves a receipt you can replay and check.
Problem 02
Logistics
Parts, people, and data move across organizations that do not trust each other by default. Provenance travels with the work, so every hand-off is on the record without exposing what stays private.
Problem 03
Ontology
Every team names the same thing differently, and the contradictions surface during an audit. The network tracks meaning and conflict as first-class records, not as a spreadsheet reconciled after the fact.
Problem 04
Audit-readiness
Proof is demanded after the work is done, when the evidence is already gone. On Citrate the audit is the system. Every settled job exports a receipt, and a dispute slashes the party at fault.
Sector · Defense & aerospace

Defense & aerospace

Verifiable compute for primes and the tier-N supply chain, where proof and data sovereignty are non-negotiable.

Primes run AI work that cannot leave a controlled perimeter. Tier-N suppliers face cybersecurity requirements that exceed what most can build in-house. Citrate handles both, on your hardware, behind your perimeter, with your keys.

Supplier qualification, part provenance, MOQ variance, classification gating, cross-organization transfer with cryptographic provenance, and exportable audit bundles run on the same primitives.

Federated learning lets multiple programs train together without sharing raw data. Every result is checked, not trusted, and leaves an auditable receipt ready for third-party review.

What you can do today
  • Run inference on your own floor with provable provenance on every result
  • Train fine-tunes across programs with federated learning, no raw data shared
  • Export audit bundles in 3PAO, DCAA, and DCMA-ready format
Compliance posture
  • CMMC Level 2: in remediation (commercial track, reviewed 2026-05-15)
  • FedRAMP Moderate: planned (sponsor-gated, on-prem offered first)
Sector · Manufacturing & MES

Manufacturing

Federated learning for predictive maintenance. Supply-chain provenance on the record. Compute that respects your trade secrets.

Manufacturers face a hard trade-off: pool data across plants to train better models, or keep process IP behind the wall. Citrate aggregates model updates across plants without exposing raw parameters, and proves the aggregation was done correctly.

Results are deterministic. A model trained in one plant produces the same output in another.

For supply-chain integrity, the provenance primitives that serve defense primes adapt to automotive recalls, semiconductor export control, and FDA-regulated production.

What you can do today
  • Predictive maintenance across plants without sharing process parameters
  • Supply-chain provenance for recall and counterfeit-detection workflows
  • Audit-ready records for regulator filings (NHTSA, FDA, FAA, others)
Sector · Healthcare, pharma & genomics

Healthcare & pharma

Learn across institutions without moving patient data. Built for federated, audit-ready medical AI.

Healthcare AI carries one hard constraint: pool insight across institutions without moving patient data, while producing evidence that satisfies HIPAA, HITRUST, FDA SaMD, and IRB review.

Citrate is built for that shape. Genomics consortia, rare-disease networks, and multi-institution clinical research networks train models locally, prove the aggregation, and keep a complete audit lineage on the record.

Your data stays yours, and stays protected. The network runs the work and leaves the receipt.

What you can do today
  • Rare-disease model training across institutions
  • Imaging AI fine-tuning without de-identification risk
  • Federated clinical-decision-support deployments with full audit trails
Status todayWe do not yet hold HITRUST or FDA SaMD posture. Healthcare engagements today are research scope under IRB. Production clinical workloads follow our HIPAA-BAA posture as it matures.
Sector · Banking & insurance

Banking & insurance

Federated fraud detection. SR 26-2-aligned model risk audit. AI governance that survives regulator review.

Federal Reserve SR 26-2 (April 2026, superseding SR 11-7) raised the bar for AI model risk management. The EU AI Act Annex III raised it again for institutions with European exposure. Both ask the same question: how do you prove your AI is governed when the vendor controls the infrastructure?

On Citrate, the network is yours, the model weights are yours, and the audit trail is yours. Every privileged action by every AI agent, human-mediated or automated, leaves a record you can tell apart and replay.

Federated fraud detection across an industry consortium produces the same provable provenance, without anyone surrendering their data.

What you can do today
  • Federated fraud and AML model training across an industry consortium
  • Model risk audit aligned with SR 26-2 and the EU AI Act
  • AI agent decision logs separating automated from human-mediated actions
Status todayWe do not yet hold SOC 2 Type II or PCI DSS. Engagements today are research scope. Production payment-card workloads follow our SOC 2 maturation.
Sector · Energy & grid

Energy & grid

Distributed compute that respects grid constraints. Federated learning for grid resilience. NERC-aligned audit.

The data-center load problem is real. NERC's Level 3 Alert on hyperscaler-driven voltage events made it explicit. Citrate runs the inverse: sub-MW behind-the-meter compute distributed across facilities, with provable load attestation suitable for regulator filings.

For federated learning across utilities, including grid resilience, demand-response optimization, and equipment failure prediction, the same network that serves defense and pharma serves the grid, with NERC CIP-aligned audit on the record.

What you can do today
  • Sub-MW behind-the-meter distributed compute
  • Federated grid-resilience and demand-response models
  • NERC CIP-aligned audit, exportable on every settled job

Common questions

Is there an on-prem alternative to ChatGPT for institutions?

Yes. Citrate runs inference and training inside your perimeter, on hardware you own, so your proprietary data never becomes someone else's training data, and every result leaves a receipt your auditors can check.

Can I run Citrate on-premises or air-gapped?

Yes. Citrate can run entirely on-premises or fully air-gapped, with no outbound dependency, and data at rest is sealed with AES-256-GCM under a quantum-safe key exchange.

Can several institutions train one model without sharing data?

Yes. Federated learning lets the lessons travel while the raw data stays in each building, so institutions train together without exposing their records.

Is Citrate HIPAA or CMMC certified?

Citrate supports HIPAA-aligned and CMMC-boundary on-prem deployment, and holds no such certification today. The compliance posture page carries a status and a date on every claim: on-prem is available now, CMMC and SOC 2 are in remediation, and FedRAMP is on a published roadmap.

Who holds the keys?

You do. Identity, roles, and access are enforced in the app, group messaging and cluster coordination are end-to-end encrypted, and Citrate Inc. does not hold member keys.
