Open reference architectures for sovereign AI in physical operations

Every design is also a row in the Vertical-Driven Architectures dataset: designs, ontology objects, model choices, cost lines and full text, for agents to query.

Every design here runs on the operator's own hardware, under open-weight licences, with no data leaving the country. Each paper ships with its object model as JSON, its model register and a cost appendix. Text, figures and data are CC BY 4.0.

• Sovereign HSE Watch: A Reference Architecture for Predictive Health, Safety and Environment Intelligence in Pakistan's Oil and Gas Operations
  An open reference architecture for a sovereign, air-gapped HSE platform for an oil and gas operator in Pakistan: eight source systems, a twelve-object ontology, six self-hosted open-weight models on one GPU node, and a three-year cost comparison against cloud.

• Terminal Pulse: Predicted Truck Turn Time and Live Yard Sight for a Container Terminal
  An open reference architecture for predicting truck turn time two hours out and seeing yard congestion live at a container terminal in the United States: eleven source systems, a twelve-object ontology, edge vision at the yard and gate, a frontier model on the operator's own hardware, and a three-year cost comparison against cloud.

• Feeder Firewatch: Live Ignition and Outage Risk for Every Distribution Feeder
  An open reference architecture for live wildfire ignition and outage risk at an electric distribution cooperative in the United States: twelve source systems, a fourteen-object ontology, self-hosted open-weight models on the cooperative's own hardware, every de-energisation approved by a named operator, and a three-year cost comparison against cloud.
