Turn AI and cloud
ambition into tangible value

Regulated firms invest heavily in AI and cloud, then watch the value stall behind guardrails, reviews, and architecture signoffs. Too often the initiative is abandoned because the foundations were never laid. Neogeno builds those foundations: we make your enterprise legible to AI, compress the path from idea to production, and keep every step defensible to your regulators.

AI is easy to start.
Hard to make real.

In a regulated enterprise, the hard part of AI and cloud was never the AI model or cloud technology. It is everything around it. Every initiative has to clear a thicket of guardrails, security reviews, and architecture signoffs before it can touch production, and each gate adds weeks or months between a good idea and a live result.

So teams do the rational thing and rush. They stand up agents and copilots quickly to show progress, but skip the foundations underneath. Then the value never arrives, because the AI is working blind and doesn't meet the compliance and resilience standards of the firm. It has no reliable picture of the interconnected systems it is meant to act on, and in a regulated firm, acting blind without adhering to rules is not an option.

That is why so many enterprise AI programmes quietly stall and get written off. Not because the technology failed, but because it was deployed onto foundations that were never laid. Neogeno lays those foundations. We make your enterprise legible to AI, compress the path from idea to production, and keep every step defensible to the people who have to sign it off.

The delay
Guardrails, security reviews, and architecture signoffs sit between every idea and production. The gate is the bottleneck, not the build.
The shortcut
Under pressure to show progress, firms deploy agents fast and skip the foundations those agents depend on to be useful.
The blind spot
The agent has no reliable picture of the systems it is meant to act on. It works from guesswork, which no regulated firm can put into production.
The write-off
So the programme underdelivers and gets abandoned. The technology did not fail; the foundations were never laid.

How we do it. Two products and an open-source toolkit, built on one principle: lay the foundations first, then move fast without losing the audit trail. Who is behind it, and what each product does, follows below.

Built by someone who
lived the problem.

Neogeno is an independent advisory practice founded by a cloud architect and enterprise AI specialist with nearly three decades of experience across global financial institutions, hyperscalers, and his own ventures. That experience covers both sides of the knowledge layer: the platforms that hold the data and documentation, and the analyst tooling that turns it into decisions.

The Enterprise Intelligence thesis came directly from practice. As a Principal Solutions Architect at AWS, and before that leading cloud platforms at HSBC across Asia Pacific, architecting front-office systems at Credit Suisse, and advising JP Morgan on technology modernisation, the same pattern repeated: firms spending millions on AI initiatives built on documentation that nobody trusted. Knowledge walking out the door with every departure. Auditors asked to accept manual reports compiled in a panic.

Before financial services, our founder spent a decade running his own technology company in Hong Kong, building products, managing operations, handling everything from accounting to marketing. That experience shapes how Neogeno operates: lean, direct, and focused on outcomes rather than billable hours.

That track record is the foundation under everything below: the products, the open-source toolkit, and the advisory practice that puts them to work for firms who need this now, not when the tooling matures.

Two products,
one principle.

Lay the foundations first, then move fast without losing the audit trail. The Automatic Documentation Pipeline gives AI agents and auditors a true picture of your systems. Neogeno Analyst Studio compresses the journey from idea to production for research and data teams.

Make your systems
legible to AI.

Most enterprise documentation is years out of date and never captured how one system depends on another, so an AI agent pointed at it acts on fiction. The Automatic Documentation Pipeline fixes that at the source. It reads your code, schemas, and system dependencies and extracts them into OKF, an open, vendor-neutral format (created by Google): a cross-linked graph of plain markdown that lives in version control, is regenerated on every commit, and serves agents and auditors from one source of truth.

SOURCES KNOWLEDGE LAYER CONSUMERS Application code Schemas & SQL System dependencies Terraform & API contracts OKF OPEN KNOWLEDGE FORMAT cross-linked markdown · in git AI Agents reason over the estate Auditors & architects Terravision diagrams · Word · wiki one source two views, never drift

One source, two views. Because the knowledge layer is generated from the code and stored beside it, it stays current by construction. Agents get a graph they can traverse; the second line of defense, including security and enterprise architects, gets a document in your house format from the same extraction. Render to anything, swap the format if the standard moves, never rebuild the pipeline.

Neogeno Analyst Studio:
compress the dream-build-release loop.

A data-science-lab-in-a-box for research teams. The slow part of a new idea is never the analysis. It is standing up a compliant environment, getting data access approved, and surviving an architecture review. Neogeno Analyst Studio collapses that, so an idea moves from question to shareable result in days, not quarters.

01 · DREAM
Question
A researcher has a hypothesis that needs data combined in a way it never has been before. Today this is where the idea stalls for months.
02 · BUILD
Environment
Studio stands up a pre-approved, compliant scaffold: governed data access, sanctioned tooling, and the controls already baked in. The review approves a known-good pattern, not a blank page.
03 · RELEASE
Result
The analysis runs and the output lands in a form a head of research can actually circulate. Reproducible, traceable, and ready to act on.
Without Studio
3–6 months
Most of it spent provisioning, chasing data access, and waiting on an architecture review that starts from scratch every time. Promising ideas die in the gap.
With Studio
~2 weeks
The review isn't skipped, it's pre-satisfied. The scaffold is compliant by construction, so the time collapses onto the work that actually matters. Proven on a real LSEG research POC.

The toolchain
that powers the pipeline.

The ADP is not a black box. It runs on two open-source tools we built and maintain in the open. Chronicle reads your systems into the knowledge layer; Terravision renders the result for the people who need to see it. Both are in active use across global engineering teams.

Open-core · In development
Chronicle
The extraction engine the ADP process runs on.
Chronicle is the reading end of the pipeline. It calls Terraform, AST parsers and schema readers to extract the reality from your code deterministically, including the dependencies between systems, and assembles it into an OKF graph of cross-linked markdown concepts. A constrained model fills only the gaps a parser can't reach. From that one graph the ADP serves agent context and renders documents for the second line on every commit.
  • Deterministic-first: read the code before you touch an LLM
  • Captures cross-system dependencies, not just single files
  • Produces the OKF middle layer: portable, vendor-neutral, in git
  • Audit trail: every concept tied to a code version, date-stamped
  • Enterprise: SOX, MiFID II, DORA traceability reporting

Four ways
to engage.

From a rapid assessment to a full Enterprise Intelligence programme. Every engagement is scoped against your regulatory context, your agent ambitions, and the state of the systems you need made legible to AI agents.

01
Diagnostic
Fixed-fee · 2–3 days
Point us at one system you can't see clearly. We come back with a working OKF knowledge layer for it, an agent answering a question that needed graph traversal, and an honest plan to do this across your estate. Take one specific ambition you have not been able to land and see it work against real code.
02
ADP Build
Fixed-price · 6–10 weeks
Design and deploy a working pipeline for one service domain, built to your security boundary and house format. OKF generated on every commit, served to your agents and rendered for audit. Full handover and knowledge transfer. In production, agent-ready and audit-ready on day one.
03
EI Programme
Retainer · 6–12 months
Full Enterprise Intelligence programme across multiple domains. Ongoing pipeline maintenance, agent context integration, quarterly governance reporting, and the knowledge layer becoming infrastructure your teams build on. Your estate becomes legible, and stays legible.
04
On-demand
Day rate · as needed
Architecture reviews, pipeline troubleshooting, regulatory audit preparation, agent-readiness assessments. Senior counsel, no minimum commitment. Second opinions on vendor proposals when the stakes are too high to guess.

How we build
agentic AI.

Four phases, applied to every agentic engagement. Governance and evals are phase-one concerns, not afterthoughts, and scope widens one proven workflow at a time.

rinse & repeat: widen scope one workflow at a time 01 Requirements Triage Is there an action or decision at the end of the task? Not every problem deserves an agent. No action → search or classic ML instead. yes no Search / classic ML regression, forecasting, retrieval without action 02 Data Audit Shape, structure & quality of the data the agent needs. Access governance in the data layer from day one. Retrieval design: RAG, APIs, tools via MCP. 03 Narrow POC + Evals One workflow, tight scope: prove the art of the possible. Golden dataset from the business owner; “not found” is a correct answer. Evals gate CI/CD like unit tests. in parallel Security & access approvals build against sample data while approvals clear ship 04 Production Loop Continuous monitoring: traces, user feedback, errors, reports. Failures feed the golden set: the eval suite grows as production teaches you.
