Client-controlled infrastructure
Deploy on-premises or in a private cloud using architecture selected for your security, performance, and operating requirements.
Private enterprise AI infrastructure · Richmond, Virginia
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
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.
Deploy on-premises or in a private cloud using architecture selected for your security, performance, and operating requirements.
Connect approved data and systems through identity-aware access, document permissions, isolation, and governance controls.
Let agents perform defined work within explicit permissions, approval requirements, audit logs, and human escalation paths.
02 / Frontier-class private AI
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.

Both models can be appropriate. The difference is where control, customization, operating responsibility, and long-term economics sit.
| Category | Conventional enterprise AI subscription | Private RVAI deployment |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Access licensed from a provider | Client owns or controls the deployed platform |
| Pricing model | Commonly priced by user or usage | Implementation, infrastructure, and support costs |
| Data location | Defined by provider configuration and terms | Selected as part of the client architecture |
| Custom integrations | Limited to supported product capabilities | Engineered around approved company systems |
| Agent control | Defined by provider features | Client-defined permissions, approvals, logs, and escalation |
| Model choice | Provider-selected model catalog | Models evaluated for client requirements |
| Governance | Provider controls plus customer configuration | Governance layer designed for the deployment |
| Upgrade control | Provider release schedule | Client-controlled model lifecycle and regression testing |
| Infrastructure control | Provider-managed | Client-controlled on-premises or private-cloud environment |
| Long-term customization | Product-dependent | Built around defined workflows and acceptance criteria |
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
The enterprise platform connects approved users and systems to private models, company information, governed tools, and production controls.
Private chat, research, analysis, document work, and governed APIs for approved users and applications.
Permission-aware retrieval across approved documents, databases, repositories, and business systems.
Enterprise SSO, role-based access, user provisioning, and document-level permissions where scoped.
Defined tools, permissions, approval gates, audit trails, validation steps, and human escalation.
Usage monitoring, retention settings, data isolation, secrets management, and operating controls.
Monitoring, backup, recovery, model lifecycle management, and benchmark regression testing.
05 / Services
RVAI designs the architecture, selects the model and hardware, deploys the inference environment, builds the platform, integrates company systems, implements workflows, validates performance, trains users, and supports production.
A paid, two-to-three-week assessment that determines whether private enterprise AI is technically and financially justified.
DetailsClient-controlled inference infrastructure designed around reasoning quality, concurrency, latency, security, licensing, and budget.
DetailsThe secure enterprise layer through which employees, applications, and governed agents access private models and company information.
DetailsProduction agents that perform defined work across company systems under explicit permissions, approvals, audit logs, and escalation rules.
DetailsOngoing infrastructure, model, workflow, security, and governance support after production launch.
Details06 / Representative workflows
Agents and AI tools are implemented around defined tasks, approved data, system access, operating rules, review requirements, and escalation paths.
Reporting, analysis, budget and forecast support, management reporting, and data reconciliation.
Internal search, document review, research, contract and policy analysis, and executive briefings.
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
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
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.
Define the business case, priority workflows, model requirements, architecture, economics, risks, and acceptance criteria.
Finalize infrastructure, security, integrations, delivery sequencing, capacity, governance, and the production plan.
Deploy infrastructure, configure model serving, build the platform, connect company systems, and implement priority workflows.
Benchmark on agreed workflows, test security and controls, train users, resolve gaps, and complete production acceptance.
Monitor the system, maintain models and controls, support users, review governance, and add valuable workflows over time.
09 / Transparent pricing
Private AI economics depend on workload, infrastructure, integrations, security, availability, and organizational scale. The assessment defines those variables before implementation.
AI Infrastructure Assessment
From $25,000A paid two-to-three-week engagement that defines the business case, architecture, acceptance criteria, implementation schedule, and fixed implementation proposal.
Private enterprise AI implementation
$250,000–$500,000+A typical range—not a fixed package price. Final scope depends on infrastructure, integrations, security, workflows, availability requirements, and organizational breadth.
Hardware and third-party infrastructure are scoped separately and prepaid. Managed support is scoped separately.
10 / Ideal client
RVAI is built for middle-market companies with a durable reason to own more of the AI capability beneath the work.

About RVAI Consulting12 / Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
AI Infrastructure Assessments begin at $25,000. Scope and price are confirmed before work begins.
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.
