The foundation everything
is built on.
Every Avennorth product runs on a shared fabric of data, integrations, and AI reasoning — the infrastructure that makes everything else trustworthy.
ARCHITECTURAL COMPARISON
Not ServiceNow with a new name.
Four architectural decisions we made differently — and why they matter when your platform needs to survive an upgrade.
Every CI class and relationship type has its own explicit schema. No shared columns, no polymorphic extensions — always self-documenting and query-optimal.
The Task table underpins 40+ OOTB entity types via inheritance — sparse columns, implicit schemas, and extension tables that grow unbounded over years.
Customer and partner extensions live in Rings 3–4; platform core lives in Ring 0. Upgrades touch Rings 0–1 only, so extensions survive unchanged by architectural constraint, not policy.
Customizations often modify core tables, ACLs, and business rules — so every upgrade becomes a manual merge. Frozen instances are a predictable outcome.
Every AI output carries a cryptographic B1 receipt: input_hash → output_hash, deterministically replayable. C1–C10 checks include an NLI falsifier-entailment gate — advice must survive semantic refutation before surfacing.
AI outputs carry a model confidence score — no cryptographic receipt, no deterministic replay, no structural requirement to state what would make the output wrong.
Pathfinder eBPF agents observe kernel-level behavior continuously; the CMDB is a projection of live attestations. A ~60MB Go collector, with agentless scan available.
400MB+ JVM MID Servers run scheduled scans on stored credentials. The CMDB reflects what was reachable at scan time and decays between cycles.
CORE INFRASTRUCTURE
Six structural properties.
Not features you configure — properties of the platform itself. Every product that runs on GPS inherits all of them automatically.
Bitemporal Data Fabric
Every CI carries two time dimensions — when it was true, and when the system recorded it. State is appended, never overwritten. Roll back to any point in history without losing current state.
Patent-Pending ServiceNow Integration
Pre-built connectors write directly into ServiceNow's CSDM-aligned schema — no middleware, no ETL, no quality loss in transit. The integration logic is protected by pending patents.
Falsifier-Mandatory AI Framework
No AI assertion surfaces unless it carries a defined falsification condition — the test that could refute it. This is structural, not a guardrail bolted on top.
Immutable Audit Chain
Every write is hash-chained to the previous record. Tampering breaks the chain — audit integrity is cryptographically verifiable, not policy-asserted.
Zero-Credential Vault
Agentless discovery requires no stored credentials. Where agents are deployed, credentials are ephemeral and never persisted to disk.
Continuous Refresh Architecture
Discovery never runs just once. Every environment change surfaces as a delta, propagating through maps, health scores, and incident context in real time.
GPS
Intelligence
Most platforms give you answers. GPS Intelligence gives you answers you can defend.
Intelligence is the reasoning layer underneath every product — what separates a confident assertion from a falsifiable claim. It ships with 40+ day-one indicators grounded in live discovery across Business Applications, Capabilities, Services, and Offerings. No surveys, no manual configuration.
Every question produces multiple competing explanations at once. No hypothesis is favoured from the start.
Each hypothesis is paired with conditions that would eliminate it — evaluated against live platform data.
Only hypotheses that pass every check reach the surface — with confidence band, assumed facts, and data lineage.
PLATFORM MODULES
Beyond the eight products.
Two modules read the same fabric to map how your organization actually works — and how well its key relationships are holding.
Org charts lie. This module builds three simultaneous structural models of how work really flows — grounded in directory services, behavioral discovery, and engagement signals.
The official org chart — roles, reporting lines, cost centers. The baseline, never treated as the complete picture.
How work actually moves and which services span which units — derived from behavioral data, not spreadsheets.
Who actually influences decisions regardless of title — the map most leaders don't have but every leader needs.
- Ghost Influence — informal power with no formal accountability
- Capability Drift — titles that no longer match where work happens
- Single Points of Influence — key-person dependencies off the org chart
- Maturity Gaps — capability areas scored against TOGAF, BIAN, eTOM
Relationships get managed by gut feel until something breaks. Stakeholder Hub turns relationship and trust risk into a measured, evidence-backed signal — surfacing declining engagement and overdue commitments before they become failures.
Scores feed Vantage stakeholder assembly (who gets paged for a P1, in what order) and Compass advisory routing (which executive receives which brief). Distinct from the GPS Trust module, which governs system access and compliance rather than relationships.
INTEGRATIONS
Works with your full stack.
The GPS Platform connects to your existing tooling — it does not replace it. Discovery, monitoring, identity, and collaboration signals all flow into the fabric. Select a category to explore.
