Scout Deployment Models

Two deployment architectures. One Scout intelligence layer. Your data stays where you decide it belongs.

✥

Two Layers, One Platform

Scout is architected into two distinct layers: Scout Orchestration (the intelligence layer, hosted by VisionFI) delivers domain expertise, regulatory logic, and continuously updated ILM instructions per transaction. Scout Fieldwork (the data processing layer) handles document ingestion, model inference, and all interaction with your data. Where Fieldwork runs determines your deployment model.

Scout Orchestration
Hosted by VisionFI · Intelligence delivery, ILM logic, regulatory updates · No document content access
Common to All Models
Per-transaction intelligence instructions ↓
01
Data Sovereign

Cloud Data Sovereign

Fieldwork runs in your Azure tenant. Full inference sovereignty in your cloud.
Your Azure Tenant
Scout Fieldwork Containers
AKS/ACI clusters, virtual networks, container registry
▶ Your security policies apply
Foundation Models
Azure OpenAI Service in your subscription
▶ Model inference stays in your environment
Document Storage
Your Azure Blob Storage, your policies
Best For

Institutions needing API integrations, batch processing pipelines, and B2B/partner system connections with full data sovereignty.

02
Desktop Sovereign

Desktop Data Sovereign

Fieldwork runs locally in Scout Notebook. Lightest Azure footprint.
Your Workstation
Scout Notebook + Fieldwork
Documents processed locally on institution hardware
▶ No containers, no orchestration overhead
Your Azure Tenant (Minimal)
Model Inference Endpoint
Azure OpenAI or equivalent
▶ Standard managed service
Blob Storage
Durable document storage only
Best For

Interactive analyst use through Scout Notebook. Strongest inference sovereignty, lightest administration burden.

Data Sovereignty + Inference Sovereignty

Data sovereign models guarantee not just where your data lives, but where AI reasoning over it happens. Your documents are processed within infrastructure you own and control.

⚡

Intelligence That Stays Current

Scout Orchestration delivers the latest ILM intelligence with every transaction. No version upgrades, no deployment cycles. Regulatory updates reach every client immediately.

⚖

Operational, Not Qualitative

Both models deliver identical Scout intelligence, identical ILM domain logic, identical accuracy. The choice is about where processing runs and what integrations you need.

🔍

Independently Verifiable

Your own Azure networking tools can verify that document content never traverses any network boundary you do not control. The architecture is the proof.
