Tytan Cortex · The Enterprise Brain

The memory your enterprise never had.

Six typed memory layers — episodic, semantic, temporal, causal, procedural, policy — unified into one governed brain. Cortex doesn't just retrieve. It understands consequences, traces causality, and remembers every decision your enterprise has ever made.

RAG retrieves. Cortex remembers.

Vector search is a lookup. Cortex is a brain. It tracks what was true and when, links cause to effect across systems, enforces policy at retrieval, and notarizes every memory it serves — so your AI never forgets, never hallucinates, and never bypasses governance.

RAG / vector search
Lookup with no memory
Ad-hoc retrieval over chunks. Stateless, time-blind, and disconnected from the source of truth. Useful for quick answers — incomplete for the enterprise.
Returns nearest chunks — no understanding of consequences
No bi-temporal model — can't say when something was true
No causal links — can't trace root cause across systems
No governance at retrieval — policy enforced after the fact
Tytan Cortex
Enterprise brain — typed, governed, causal
Six memory layers with distinct semantics, bi-temporal modeling, auto-discovered causal graph, and policy enforced at every retrieval — not just on the answer.
Six typed layers — each with retrieval semantics fit for purpose

— Six memory layers

Six layers. One intelligence model.

Cortex organizes enterprise knowledge into six typed layers — each with distinct retrieval semantics, temporal modeling, and causal awareness. Every layer is governed by the same policy engine and notarized by the same audit trail.

Layer · 04
Causal
4 typed shapesNEW
01Episodic
Records of specific events, interactions, and observations tied to a point in time. Includes all agent actions, meeting decisions, incident reports, and customer interactions.

02Semantic
Generally-true facts about the enterprise domain — concepts, definitions, relationships, and preferences that don't expire with a single event.

03TemporalNEW
Point-in-time state records with bi-temporal modeling — tracking when things were true in the world vs when Cortex recorded them. Enables historical point-in-time queries.

— Causal reasoning

RAG retrieves. Cortex understands consequences.

Your enterprise data contains causal relationships no BI tool has ever mapped. Cortex auto-discovers them — connecting a port delay to a projected churn event, 90 days before it happens, across systems that have never talked to each other.

— What Cortex does

Three things no other memory layer ships.

// 01 · Provenance

Every fact traceable to its source — with policy class.

Cortex doesn't just store facts. It tags every memory with its source system, freshness, sensitivity, and policy class — so when AI uses it, you know exactly where it came from and whether it was allowed to be used.

Source system on every fact — SAP, Salesforce, Workday, policy
Freshness, sensitivity, and policy class shown inline
Per-user, per-persona scoping — no cross-leakage

// 02 · Notary

HMAC-notarized memory — tamper-evident.

Every Cortex context snapshot is cryptographically signed at write-time. Auditors can replay any AI decision with the exact memory state used — bit-for-bit reproducible. Regulators get proof. EU AI Act compliant by design.

Time-travel queries — what we knew, when.

Cortex tracks two clocks: when something was true in the world, and when Cortex learned it. Ask “what did we know on Aug 4?” and get the exact memory state — no joins, no detective work, no “close enough.”

Connects to your enterprise estate — no migration.

Cortex reads through Change Data Capture connectors. Your data stays where it is — SAP, Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, your warehouse. Cortex stores derived intelligence (~20GB) — not copies of your 500TB estate.

— Governance

Policy at retrieval. Not after.

Most platforms gate the answer. Cortex gates the memory itself — every retrieval is checked against PDP/PEP rules, RBAC scopes, and ABAC attributes before a single byte leaves the brain.

i
RBAC + ABAC at every read
Persona scopes, cost-center attributes, sensitivity classes — enforced before the retrieval, not after the LLM has seen the data.
ii
Redaction & step-up built in
Sensitive fields auto-redacted by class. Step-up auth required for PII or restricted memory — auditors get the verdict, not just the outcome.
iii
Right-to-forget, cascading
GDPR delete cascades through episodic, semantic, and causal layers — with provenance trail of what was removed and when.
— Outcomes

What changes when Cortex is the brain.

What enterprises see in the first 90 days — not whitepapers. Production engagements across insurance, finance, ops, and CX.

<5s
Root cause in seconds
Trace a revenue miss across supply chain, CS, and sales — with evidence and dates — before the meeting starts.
90 days
Early warning before impact
Cortex flags leading-indicator patterns 60–90 days before they become P&L problems.
100%
Decisions your auditors trust
Every retrieval HMAC-notarized. Every context pack reproducible and diffable. EU AI Act compliant by design.
Zero
Data migration required
CDC reads from SAP, Salesforce, Workday, and your warehouse. Your data stays where it is.
82%
Average causal confidence
Cross-functional KPI traces score 82% confidence — auto-discovered relationships no BI tool has mapped.
1–2%
Additional production load
CDC reads only the transaction log. Ongoing load on SAP, Salesforce, and Workday is negligible.
