# Hastings

> The managed AI operating system for companies too big for tools and too lean for a consultancy.

## What it is
A single governed system that holds a company's institutional memory, retrieves it with permission awareness, and runs a fleet of agents that turn it into finished work. Operated with the client.

## Architecture
- memory: continuous capture from meetings, mail, and project systems
- retrieval: permission-aware knowledge graph; every answer carries its source
- agents: a fleet for every seam of the business; proven agents ship with the system, new agents are developed with the client; all learn from corrections
- outcomes: delivered as finished work inside the client's tools and rhythms

## The work (sample outcomes)
- proposals that draw on every prior win: pricing, precedents, closing themes
- board decks drafted overnight from the record
- client questions answered in minutes, with sources
- nightly market, competitor, and regulatory intelligence
- campaigns built on the brand's full memory
- onboarding against the complete record

## Who it serves
- companies of 50 to 1,000 people (the mid-market and the mature startup)
- first practice: services firms (agencies, consultancies, professional services)
- second practice: industrial, energy, and B2B technology companies
- mature startups (Series B+) in either category

## Proof
Running live in the marketing organization of a global energy technology leader. 160+ agents in production across capture, research, compliance, creative, and intelligence. The system preceded the product.

## Engagement
1. security & governance review (permission walls, data boundaries, audit design)
2. capture live into governed memory
3. retrieval online; first fleet configured from the proven template
4. joint operation; the fleet grows with the work

## Governance
Permission walls, source truth, and audit trails are load-bearing architecture, in place before the first agent runs. Security review is the preferred starting point of every engagement.

## Commercials
A small number of builds per year. Structure discussed in the working session.

## Lineage
Built and operated by Renaissance Group (https://renaissancegroup.io), a global B2B brand and marketing consultancy, est. 2013. Founder: Jatin Modi.
