Private enterprise AI infrastructure · Richmond, Virginia

Frontier-class AI. Inside your business.

RVAI Consulting deploys private, company-owned AI platforms with leading-model reasoning, secure access to company information, and governed agents on infrastructure you control.

Built for middle-market organizations with sensitive information, substantial AI demand, or workflows that justify owning the underlying platform.

01 / The proposition

Own the platform behind the work.

A private RVAI deployment brings the model, approved data connections, workflow logic, governance, and infrastructure under your organization’s control. One secure platform can support employees, applications, and governed agents.

CONTROL / 01

Client-controlled infrastructure

Deploy on-premises or in a private cloud using architecture selected for your security, performance, and operating requirements.

CONTEXT / 02

Secure company information

Connect approved data and systems through identity-aware access, document permissions, isolation, and governance controls.

ACTION / 03

Governed enterprise agents

Let agents perform defined work within explicit permissions, approval requirements, audit logs, and human escalation paths.

02 / Frontier-class private AI

Performance is established on your work.

RVAI evaluates open-weight private models against leading proprietary systems on the workflows that matter to your company. The target is not an abstract benchmark. It is reliable performance on agreed finance, research, document, data, and operational tasks.

Candidate private models may be evaluated against Claude Fable-class systems where appropriate. RVAI does not claim universal equivalence across every task and is not affiliated with Anthropic.

03 / Ownership model

Subscription access or company-owned infrastructure?

Both models can be appropriate. The difference is where control, customization, operating responsibility, and long-term economics sit.

Private infrastructure is not automatically less expensive. The economic case depends on user count, utilization, model requirements, subscription costs, infrastructure, and the value of the workflows being supported.

04 / Platform capabilities

One governed layer for people, data, models, and agents.

The enterprise platform connects approved users and systems to private models, company information, governed tools, and production controls.

01

Internal AI access

Private chat, research, analysis, document work, and governed APIs for approved users and applications.

02

Company knowledge

Permission-aware retrieval across approved documents, databases, repositories, and business systems.

03

Identity & permissions

Enterprise SSO, role-based access, user provisioning, and document-level permissions where scoped.

04

06 / Representative workflows

Designed around work that already matters.

Agents and AI tools are implemented around defined tasks, approved data, system access, operating rules, review requirements, and escalation paths.

01

Finance

Reporting, analysis, budget and forecast support, management reporting, and data reconciliation.

02

Knowledge

Internal search, document review, research, contract and policy analysis, and executive briefings.

03

Operations

Customer operations, controlled email and document work, and approval-based actions in enterprise systems.

Integration capabilities may include Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Slack, email, SQL databases, ERP and CRM systems, file repositories, internal APIs, and finance platforms. Integration scope is confirmed during assessment; a prebuilt connector is not assumed for every system.

07 / Security & governance

Autonomy with boundaries.

Agents can operate continuously within explicitly defined permissions. Sensitive actions can require approval, activity can be logged, and uncertain or exceptional cases can be escalated to a person.

Exact controls depend on the approved architecture, client systems, and project scope.

08 / Delivery process

A measured path to production.

Requirements and acceptance criteria are defined first. Infrastructure and workflows are then implemented, tested, and accepted against those standards. Phases may overlap depending on scope.

01

Assessment

2–3 weeks

Define the business case, priority workflows, model requirements, architecture, economics, risks, and acceptance criteria.

02

Architecture & Planning

2–4 weeks

Finalize infrastructure, security, integrations, delivery sequencing, capacity, governance, and the production plan.

03

Implementation

10–20 weeks

Deploy infrastructure, configure model serving, build the platform, connect company systems, and implement priority workflows.

04

Validation & Launch

2–4 weeks

Benchmark on agreed workflows, test security and controls, train users, resolve gaps, and complete production acceptance.

05

Managed Support

Ongoing

Monitor the system, maintain models and controls, support users, review governance, and add valuable workflows over time.

09 / Transparent pricing

Scope before commitment.

Private AI economics depend on workload, infrastructure, integrations, security, availability, and organizational scale. The assessment defines those variables before implementation.

About RVAI Consulting

12 / Frequently asked questions

Serious questions deserve specific answers.

Can private AI perform at the level of leading proprietary models?

It can on defined workflows when the right model, infrastructure, context, and controls are selected—but that result should be demonstrated, not assumed. RVAI benchmarks candidate private models against leading proprietary systems, including Claude Fable-class systems, using the client’s selected workflows and agreed acceptance criteria. This is not a claim of universal equivalence across every task, and RVAI is not affiliated with Anthropic.

How is model performance validated?

The assessment defines representative tasks, evaluation criteria, quality thresholds, latency and concurrency requirements, and the comparison set. Candidate models are tested on those workflows before architecture is finalized, then regression-tested before production acceptance.

Does company data leave the client’s environment?

The architecture is designed so sensitive data can remain within the client’s chosen environment. Actual data flows depend on the approved deployment model, integrations, support procedures, and any third-party services the client elects to use; these are documented during architecture and security review.

Can RVAI integrate with our existing systems?

Yes, where those systems provide an appropriate technical and security path. RVAI can design integrations for Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Slack, email, SQL databases, ERP and CRM platforms, file repositories, finance tools, and internal APIs. Integration scope is validated for each environment rather than assumed to be prebuilt.

Are we locked into one model?

The platform is designed to remain model-aware without making the business workflow unnecessarily model-dependent. Licensing, architecture, hardware compatibility, and workflow validation still matter, so model portability is planned and tested—not promised as a one-click swap.

What hardware is required?

It depends on model quality, concurrent users, response-time targets, context requirements, security, availability, and budget. The assessment produces a workload-specific architecture and hardware bill of materials rather than prescribing one platform in advance.

How long does implementation take?

A typical program includes a two-to-three-week assessment, two to four weeks of architecture and planning, ten to twenty weeks of implementation, and two to four weeks of validation and launch. Phases may overlap depending on scope and client readiness.

What security controls are included?

Depending on scope, the platform can include SSO, role-based access, document-level permissions, data isolation, secrets management, audit logs, retention controls, approval gates, human escalation, monitoring, backups, and disaster recovery. Final controls are mapped to the client’s environment and requirements.

Can the platform support autonomous agents?

Yes. Agents can perform defined work continuously, but autonomy is bounded by permissions, tool access, audit logging, approval requirements, validation checks, and human escalation. The level of autonomy is selected workflow by workflow.

What happens when a better model becomes available?

RVAI can evaluate the model against the existing benchmark suite, licensing and security requirements, infrastructure fit, and workflow behavior. An upgrade proceeds only after regression testing shows that the change meets the client’s acceptance criteria.

How much does an assessment cost?

AI Infrastructure Assessments begin at $25,000. Scope and price are confirmed before work begins.

How much does implementation cost?

Private enterprise AI implementations typically range from $250,000 to $500,000+, depending on infrastructure, integrations, security requirements, production workflows, availability requirements, and organizational scope. Hardware, third-party infrastructure, and managed support are scoped separately.
