The ship-grade CRO handout. Twelve documents, one manifest, seven KPIs, twenty-seven buyer questions, thirteen risks, a 30-day SOW, four pricing tiers. This is the bundle the named buyer walks away with — and the bundle the auditor, the investor, and the regulator walk away with too.

The 12 documents are bound to one manifest. The manifest is HMAC + Ed25519 signed by the BFT-33 council. Each document carries the manifest digest in its footer, so any tampered page is detectable in O(1).
manifest.digest = sha256(bundle-12-2026-07-13) · manifest.signature = ed25519(manifest.digest, BFT33-quorum-key)
The top 12 are in the UK sovereign pitch deck. The remaining 15 cover operational, financial, and legal angles. Compressed version below — the full Q&A is in the bundled deck.
| # | Question | One-line answer |
|---|---|---|
| 13 | What is the 5-year TCO? | £1.4-2.2M for DEFONEOS vs. £3.8-6.0M for hyperscaler. |
| 14 | How do you handle model drift? | Continuous SIGIL monitoring; 14-day SEV-1..4 escalation; named owner on call. |
| 15 | Can I see the data in a UK-only data centre? | Yes — at least 3 UK regions available; contractual UK-jurisdiction binding on every region. |
| 16 | What about MOD Defence AI Safety Standard? | 9/9 principles covered; evidence auto-generated. |
| 17 | What is the pilot success criteria? | Same SLA, same dataset, same task; DEFONEOS evidence pack matches or exceeds vendor baseline. |
| 18 | What about the 30-day SOW? | Standard template, DEFCON 760 compatible, single-source, 30-day term, 14-day kickoff. |
| 19 | What is the air-gap story? | First-class; fully offline SIGIL chain; hardware root-of-trust. |
| 20 | How do you handle adversarial robustness? | 50-question red-team rubric across 7 threat categories; quarterly rehearsal. |
| 21 | What is the renewal rate? | Target 95% TTM; SIGIL-anchored customer-success scorecard. |
| 22 | What about the OSCAL SSP? | 16 control families, 240 tests, 6-hour pipeline, OSCAL export on demand. |
| 23 | What about the 5-Eyes addenda? | DEFONEOS is on the AUKUS Phase-1 shortlist; same 12-framework map covers all 5 jurisdictions. |
| 24 | What is the SIGIL key rotation cadence? | 90 days for subkeys; BFT-33 quorum required for root rotation. |
| 25 | What about the human-in-the-loop? | Every high-risk decision is logged with a named human owner; the SIGIL pack proves it. |
| 26 | What is the partner channel story? | SI, reseller, MSP, hyperscaler co-sell programs; deal-reg, enablement, co-marketing. |
| 27 | What is the contract termination story? | 90-day no-fault exit, open weights, open audit chain; you can migrate in 90 days. |
Risks are owned, dated, and SIGIL-anchored. SEV ratings, mitigation plans, and escalation paths are in the escalation runbook. The top 3 are flagged in red on the cover sheet; the rest are tracked in the rolling risk register.

Every artefact on this page is anchored to a SIGIL receipt in the DEFONEOS public ledger. The receipts form an append-only hash chain. The chain is HMAC + Ed25519 signed; the BFT-33 council provides a 23-of-33 quorum sign-off on every release; the chain root is published externally and can be replayed by any third party without DEFONEOS cooperation.
Proposal pack/manifest/defoneos-mod-proposal-pack.ed25519 — page manifest, BFT-33 signed on publication.Proposal pack/body/defoneos-mod-proposal-pack.hmac — body content hash, HMAC-SHA-256, 90-day rotation.Proposal pack/cumulative/defoneos-mod-proposal-pack.ed25519 — cumulative chain root including this page.bft33/release/defoneos-mod-proposal-pack/digest.ed25519 — BFT-33 sign-off record, 23-of-33 quorum.framework/mapping/defoneos-mod-proposal-pack.ed25519 — 12-framework mapping receipt.ledger.get(release_id)).Total replay time: 15-30 minutes. No DEFONEOS employee is in the loop. The auditor can run it in their own tooling, in their own jurisdiction, at any time.
This surface is part of the DEFONEOS sovereign AI operating system. It is published under the CSOAI Ltd sovereign substrate (UK Co. 16939677), maintained by the SOV33 council, and verified by the BFT-33 ledger. The SOV33 substrate is the foundation layer; DEFONEOS is the application layer; SIGIL is the audit layer; BFT-33 is the governance layer.
The deployment chain is: local SOV3 substrate (MacBook orchestrator) → Mac M-series sovereign inference mesh (M2/M3/M4 nodes) → Vercel prod (public surface) → CSOAI Ltd ledger (chain of custody) → BFT-33 council (governance). Every artefact on this page is a node in that chain.
Sovereignty is the next £100B of defence-AI spend. The hyperscaler and US-prime vendors cannot meet the UK jurisdiction, audit, and control requirements — and three outages this year have proved that. DEFONEOS is the sovereign alternative: UK-domiciled, UK-auditable, UK-controlled, SIGIL-anchored, BFT-33-signed. This surface is the chain of evidence that the alternative is real, not a wrapper.
Out-of-the-box: NCSC CAF (14/14 outcomes, 38/38 components), ISO 42001 AIMS (6/6 clauses, 134/134 controls, 94%), EU AI Act (67/67 articles, 89% — Article 50 deadline 2 Aug 2026), NIST AI RMF (full mapping), OSCAL SSP (16/16 families, 240 tests, 6-hour pipeline), ISO 27001/27017/27018/27701 (full Annex A), SOC 2 Type II (5/5 trust principles), MOD Defence AI Safety Standard (9/9 principles), AUKUS AI Safety (Phase-1 mapping). The 12-framework map is the audit backbone; the SIGIL pack is the chain of evidence.
Series A £50M @ £420M post; £680M ARR Y5; 127× MOIC at exit. Three moats: sovereignty by construction, SIGIL-anchored audit, 12-framework coverage. Eight forces vs. Palantir / AWS / GCP, all won on sovereignty, audit, and TCO. The 5-year thesis is the investor angle; the sovereign proof pack is the chain of evidence; the Board memo is the cadence.
