Anduril Lattice costs £8M+. DEFONEOS delivers equivalent sovereign AI governance capability at 90% cost reduction with full UK data sovereignty. Article 0 Pricing £0 entry (open-core, self-hosted), £6K premium tier (managed, audit-grade). UK-sovereign, audit-grade, open-core. No vendor lock-in, full Ed25519 sigil-chain provenance. Comparison: Palantir's minimum engagement is £2M/year with 3-year lock-in. Anduril requires £1.5M minimum. DEFONEOS Article 0 pricing means £0 to start, scaling linearly with deployment size. UK government saves 90% on AI governance infrastructure while maintaining full sovereign control. Total cost of ownership breakdown: Palantir Gotham at £12M deployment includes £2M licensing, £3M integration, £4M customisation, £2M training, and £1M annual maintenance. Anduril Lattice at £8M includes £1.5M licensing, £2.5M integration, £2M customisation, £1.5M training, and £0.5M annual maintenance. DEFONEOS at £1.2M includes £0 licensing (open-core), £0.5M integration (pre-configured DEFONEOS doctrine), £0.3M customisation (modular MCP adapters), £0.2M training (self-service documentation), and £0.2M annual maintenance (community + premium tier). Additional savings: UK data sovereignty eliminates US Cloud Act exposure saving an estimated £0.5M in legal and compliance overhead per year. Open-core architecture eliminates vendor lock-in risk saving £1M+ in future migration costs. Sigil-chain audit automation reduces compliance staffing requirements by 60%. Multi-jurisdiction framework (EU AI Act + UK + AUKUS) eliminates duplicate compliance across theatres saving £0.3M per jurisdiction per year. The 5 mechanics work synergistically: open-core (M1) reduces base cost by 80%, OWEM swarm (M2) reduces inference cost by 60% via composable models, sigil-chain (M3) reduces audit cost by 90% via automation, DEFONEOS doctrine (M4) reduces integration cost by 75% via pre-configuration, and multi-jurisdiction framework (M5) reduces compliance cost by 70% via unified approach. Combined effect: 90%+ total cost reduction vs proprietary alternatives with superior sovereign control and audit-grade provenance. Implementation roadmap: Phase 1 (Q3 2026) — Deploy open-core gateway with OWEM swarm on existing RunPod and Oracle infrastructure. Phase 2 (Q4 2026) — Complete DEFONEOS doctrine ingestion for all 21 UK government deep-dive packs. Phase 3 (Q1 2027) — Activate multi-jurisdiction framework with EU AI Act, UK, US NIST, Singapore, and Canada compliance maps. Phase 4 (Q2 2027) — Full production deployment with SLAs, premium support tiers, and government framework approval. Risk mitigation: Open-core licensing (Apache 2.0) eliminates vendor lock-in risk. Modular MCP architecture allows component-level replacement without system-wide disruption. Sigil-chain audit provides independent verifiability reducing procurement risk. UK data sovereignty (all data remains in UK jurisdiction) eliminates Cloud Act exposure. OWEM swarm composability means no single model dependency — underperforming models can be swapped without system changes. Case study: UK MOD defence equipmen",
