Open ecosystem for institutional investors
ZTA Labs is designed for asset managers and asset owners that already have established data, infrastructure, applications, security controls, and service relationships. The open, deployable reference architecture is designed to fit that environment rather than force a rip-and-replace decision.
How we think about partners
ZTA works across an open partner ecosystem that can include enterprise data platforms, open-source software, open-weight model providers, infrastructure providers, identity and security systems, workflow platforms, and implementation partners.
Partner strategy follows the client’s environment and governance requirements, not the other way around.
Platforms that hold or govern institutional evidence, entitlements, and metadata.
Serving, routing, evaluation, and orchestration capabilities for approved open-weight models.
NVIDIA infrastructure and the software layers required to deploy client-controlled AI environments.
Institutional identity, access control, audit, secrets, encryption, and operating controls.
Existing research, diligence, committee, or monitoring systems that should remain part of the user workflow.
System integrators and specialist partners that can help the institution operate and extend the environment over time.
Certified Consulting Partner Program
Consulting firms can implement ZTA for their clients under a Certified Partner Development License, with the boundary between our software and your work product written down rather than assumed.
The extension interfaces you build against are published and versioned. Your work sits on a stable contract rather than inside software we may change.
Data and content providers
ZTA is deployed inside infrastructure the institution controls. Your data is consumed by your licensed client, in their environment, under the contract you hold with them.
You provide data lineage. We provide decision lineage. You provide entitlement checks. We provide AI evidence entitlements.
Live connectors
The first live connectors read public sources: SEC EDGAR and FRED/ALFRED. Nobody would have challenged how we handled either. We enforce per-source rights on them anyway, because the same machinery has to hold when the source is licensed.
Filing retrieval, with the retrieved document carried as evidence rather than summarised away from its source.
Series retrieval including vintage data, with rights enforced per series rather than per provider.
New connectors are certified against a published contract with declared rights, bounded retrieval, and evidence that can be replayed.
Operating principle
ZTA defines the operating boundaries required for governance and transferability while leaving room for the institution’s preferred tooling choices. Components remain replaceable where the substitution does not compromise control, auditability, security, or portability.
