Residency
Data, models, and operations sit in the jurisdiction you name. Location is a design decision, not a setting someone can change later.
Sovereign AI
Residency, local law, and dependency are part of the architecture. A system in your cloud is not sovereign if the model, the region, or the contract sits where you cannot enforce it.
Data, models, and operations sit in the jurisdiction you name. Location is a design decision, not a setting someone can change later.
The design is checked against the laws and internal rules you must meet. Compliance is not a paragraph added after the pilot.
Foreign models, regions, and vendors are named. What does not belong in the path is reduced, not hidden inside a platform.
Private AI keeps a system in your environment. Sovereign AI asks a further question: which country, which law, and which dependency. WebKets does both. This page is the second question.
We map where the data rests, where the model runs, and which contract you can actually enforce. What must stay in your country is designed that way. It is not assumed because the invoice has your name on it.
If you cannot say where it runs, it is not sovereign yet.
Storage, backups, and logs have a country. A copy in another region is still a residency decision, even if nobody meant to make one.
A prompt that leaves for a foreign endpoint is not a local system. The model location is part of the architecture, not a network detail.
Sovereignty fails on paper you cannot enforce. We look at who can change region, retain data, or require a foreign process.
A board, a regulator, a customer, or an auditor. You need a map, not a sentence that says the vendor is compliant.
Your records are in one country and the model answers from another. That gap is the work, even if the product feels local.
A foreign model can still be a choice. It cannot be an accident. The dependency has to be named, limited, and owned.
Not a hope that the region setting stays put. A written position: what is sovereign, what is not, and why that is acceptable.
We trace data, models, backups, logs, and operators to a place. The map shows the country of each, not the marketing region.
The architecture is checked against the laws and internal rules you must meet before a build treats them as optional.
Foreign models, regions, and vendors stay only where you choose them. The rest comes out of the path.
Tell us which country the system must answer to, and where it runs today. We will say if Sovereign AI is the right starting point.
