AI and cloud architecture for traceable CEA project decisions.

AI and cloud architecture for traceable CEA project decisions.

The Crop Urbanis Intelligence Layer powers the Platform’s internal MVP. It combines document intelligence, structured project data, deterministic scenario services and qualified review so organisations can move from fragmented evidence to controlled project decisions. Selected private-beta deployments are considered by contact.

Architecture for controlled project decisions

The internal MVP connects project evidence, source-aware AI, deterministic services and qualified review into a controlled output path. Product hardening extends this architecture to selected organisational beta under agreed conditions.

How the internal MVP architecture works

01 · Intake

Project and evidence intake

Project brief, organisation and decision context, source documents, supplier files, agronomic references, constraints, assumptions, versions and permissions
02 · Documents

Document processing and normalisation

Document processing, extraction, classification, schema mapping, terminology and unit normalisation
03 · Data layer

Structured project data layer

Designed for project files, protocols, trial notes and validated agronomic references so teams can compare recommendations against source context.
04 · Evidence

Retrieval and source-aware evidence

AI information workflows, deterministic scenario services and explicit assumptions
05 · AI

AI information workflows

Qualified review, corrections, decision and approval state
06 · Scenarios

Deterministic scenario services

Controlled project, comparison, scenario, decision, delivery and handover outputs
07 · Review

Expert review and approval

Selected-beta evaluation and later governed operating-feedback roadmap Qualified review
08 · Outputs

Controlled outputs and delivery pack

Inputs and outputs designed for real CEA projects

The product is structured around the information teams already use during feasibility, design, commissioning, operation and research. The goal is reusable decision support, not generic chat output.

Input

Inputs the system is designed to structure

  1. Project brief, organisation and decision context
  2. Source documents and supplier files
  3. Agronomic references, requirements and constraints
  4. Site, utility, crop and market assumptions
  5. Alternative configurations and supplier options
  6. Units, capacities, CAPEX/OPEX and sensitivities
  7. Versions, permissions and review questions
  8. Permitted structured files, images and text
Output

Outputs for operators and project teams

  1. Structured project brief and evidence register
  2. Requirements and constraint model
  3. Source-aware comparison matrix
  4. Deterministic scenario record with explicit assumptions
  5. Risk, dependency and clarification log
  6. Review, approval and decision record
  7. Controlled delivery pack and handover inputs
  8. SOP or training drafts for qualified review

The Crop Urbanis Intelligence Layer is the technical core of the Platform’s operational internal MVP.

Current internal MVP components

Structured project and evidence record

Maintains project entities, requirements, constraints, alternatives, supplier records, scenarios, decisions, review states, output versions and audit events.

Document processing and normalisation

Processes permitted PDFs, spreadsheets, text, images and structured files for extraction, classification, schema mapping, terminology and unit normalisation, source-location capture, missing-field detection and contradiction flags.

Scenario support keeps assumptions explicit so feasibility work can be reviewed by investors, operators and agronomy leads.

Retrieval and evidence layer

Connects AI outputs to permitted source material and project context through source-aware search, scoped knowledge access, citation retention, retrieval evaluation and separation of project-specific from reusable knowledge.

AI information workflows

Supports supplier-document extraction, technical terminology mapping, evidence retrieval, comparison assistance, missing-information and contradiction detection, controlled drafting, multilingual transformation and model evaluation.

Any future outputs must be treated as drafts: wording, crop assumptions and operational steps require checking before teams use them in training or production.

Deterministic scenario services

Handles units, capacity, crop cycles, production assumptions, utilities, compatibility, CAPEX/OPEX, sensitivities and project gates. Formulas and assumptions remain inspectable and versioned.

Dashboard logic focuses on operational indicators such as yield, quality, cycle length, labour, energy and recurring issue patterns.

Expert review and approval

Records reviewer, scope, comments, corrections, decision, approval state, unresolved issues and version. AI does not become the accountable decision owner.

Computer-vision and sensing work remains validation-led: use depends on data quality, crop context and clear acceptance criteria.

Controlled outputs

Assembles project briefs, evidence registers, requirements tables, comparison matrices, scenario records, risk and dependency logs, decision registers, delivery packs, SOP/training drafts and handover inputs.

Guardrails are being specified around measurable acceptance criteria, expert corrections and traceable feedback for future validation.

Product hardening and roadmap

The next stage covers authentication, organisation controls, tenant separation, workload isolation, monitoring, data lifecycle controls, deployment automation, cost optimisation and support operations; operating feedback, image/sensor analysis and advanced analytics remain roadmap work.

The next stage requires application services, APIs, document workers, background jobs, model evaluation, relational project data, object storage, document versioning, vector retrieval, queues, identity and access, tenant separation, monitoring, logs, audit events, backups, recovery, EU-region deployment and model routing with token and cost controls.

Business model

The model is built around recurring Platform access, private organisational deployment, fixed-scope onboarding and optional expert support.

During private beta, access, support and commercial terms are defined individually; standard plans follow validation of initial organisational workflows.

Current internal MVP and beta deployment stage

The status separates operational internal-MVP components, selectively scoped beta work, product hardening and later roadmap capability.

    Operational in internal MVP

    Operational in internal MVP

    Structured project record, evidence/source register, document extraction pipeline, terminology/schema mapping, retrieval, AI-assisted comparison, deterministic scenario service, review and decision record, and controlled output generation.

  2. 02
    Selective private beta

    Available within selected beta scope

    Organisation-specific workspace, permissioned data, role and review configuration, scoped output package and evaluation against agreed criteria are considered under separate written terms.

    Product hardening

    Authentication, tenant separation, workload isolation, monitoring, data lifecycle controls, deployment automation, cost optimisation and support operations are the next hardening priorities for selected-beta deployment.

    Roadmap

    Roadmap

    Later governed work includes integrations, operating feedback, image and sensor workflows, advanced analytics and cross-project learning under appropriate data conditions.

    Sensing, image and diagnostic modules

    Computer-vision, sensing integrations and automated alerts remain planned validation tracks tied to data quality and expert-review requirements.

Technical review routes

The technical record is split across product overview, MVP & Private Beta, security and the downloadable brief. Together they distinguish operational internal-MVP workflow, selected beta scope, product hardening and roadmap work.

Technical brief for cloud and AI partners

A downloadable brief summarises the internal MVP architecture, data flow, AI role, deterministic services, review controls, cloud workload, security boundary and private-beta deployment stage.

Selected organisations, cloud providers, AI partners and research teams can share high-level context. A controlled information route is agreed before confidential data or technical evidence is exchanged.
