What is AI integration in software architecture?

AI integration in software architecture involves designing systems that can seamlessly incorporate artificial intelligence components like RAG pipelines, machine learning models, and intelligent automation. This requires modular architecture, clean data flows, and scalable infrastructure.

How long does a software architecture project take?

Software architecture projects typically take 2-12 weeks depending on complexity. Simple systems can be architected in 2-4 weeks, while enterprise-scale AI-integrated systems may require 8-12 weeks for complete design and implementation planning.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer free initial consultations to assess your project requirements and determine if our expertise aligns with your needs. Contact us to schedule your consultation with our senior architect André.

What makes Polyxmedia different from other consultants?

Unlike theoretical consultants, we have real production experience with billion-event systems. André has 20+ years of enterprise-scale development experience and has built systems handling billions of transactions. We focus on practical solutions that work.

Can we meet in person?

Yes, we can organize meetings as required in a mutual location in London or Guildford. If you need me to travel I need notice but get in touch and we can accommodate. We tend to find most things can be done over Google Meet saving everyone time and money which is what we're all after. We believe in being lean and whilst no issue with meeting, we encourage remote first approach because it's the most cost effective for serious operators.

How much does a Fractional CTO cost?

Polyxmedia offers Fractional CTO services at £185/hour or monthly packages: Strategic Advisory at £1,850/month (~10 hours), Growth Partner at £7,400/month (~40 hours), or Platform Leadership at £14,800/month (~80 hours). No long-term contracts required.

What is RAG and how does it work?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) combines a retrieval system with a language model. Your documents are converted to embeddings stored in a vector database. When users ask questions, relevant documents are retrieved and provided as context to the LLM, enabling accurate answers based on your specific data.

Why do 80% of AI projects fail?

Most AI projects fail due to: unclear business objectives, poor data quality, treating AI as magic rather than engineering, lack of production expertise, and unrealistic expectations. Success requires clear use cases, quality data, and engineers who have shipped AI to production before.

What's inside

Eight core systems working together. Each one is production-grade on its own, together they do something that doesn't exist anywhere else.

AI Analyst (59 Tools)

Conversational intelligence agent powered by Claude with 59 specialized tools. Market lookups, GDELT search, portfolio analytics, game theory scenarios, and direct trade execution through natural conversation.

War Room

Example Convergence

Geopolitical layer detects military posture shift in the Strait of Hormuz. OSINT layer picks up unusual vessel rerouting patterns. Calendar layer flags OPEC meeting in 48 hours. Market layer shows unusual call buying in oil futures. Four independent signals, one convergent thesis: oil supply disruption risk is elevated. The AI analyst synthesizes this into a briefing with trade recommendations and confidence scoring, then the prediction engine tracks it with Brier score calibration.

Intelligence briefings, not vibes

The thesis system generates structured intelligence briefings with executive summaries, situation assessments, risk scenarios, and trading actions. AI suggestions surface convergence-driven opportunities based on active signals.

→ Market regime, volatility, convergence density, and confidence scoring at a glance
→ AI-generated thesis suggestions based on active signals and context
→ Tagged with signal layers and relevant instruments for fast scanning
→ Red team adversarial challenge before every thesis ships

Why this exists

Most financial platforms treat geopolitics as a news feed bolted onto a charting tool. Markets and geopolitics are interconnected systems, analyzing them separately means missing the patterns that matter most.

Nexus was built for the trader who reads foreign policy journals and options flow in the same sitting. The one who noticed the shipping reroutes before the headline. The one who wants their predictions scored with Brier scores, not vibes.

Convergence, Not Coincidence

Bayesian posterior updating with conditional dependency matrices across 4 independent layers. Exponential likelihood ratios, not naive averaging.

Accountable Predictions

Brier score calibration, pre-event locking, Wilson score confidence intervals. 89% accuracy with full receipts.

Analysis to Execution

Generate thesis, validate with AI, execute trade, all without leaving the platform. Four broker integrations.

Geopolitical First

Designed for traders who understand real-world events drive markets. Game theory with academic foundations.
