About Tacit

Tacit is the AI workspace for critical infrastructure teams.

It brings your rules, project context and approvals into the work every team already does.

It runs in our cloud or inside yours, on models your IT team approves. A named person approves every submission.

tacit (adj.): understood, but never written down.

What Tacit does

01

An AI workspace for every team

Anyone can start a session in the web app, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp or email. Tacit checks the rules and contracts that apply before the work starts, and connects to more than 30 tools.

02

Regulatory coverage

Tacit maps the permits, licences and rules you already operate under. It then checks each change against your sites, systems and contracts, and tells you what it affects and by when.

03

Obligation planning

Each requirement that applies becomes tasks with an owner, a date and the evidence it needs. Tacit schedules back from the deadline and follows up while there is still time to act.

Model routing and control

Tacit runs in our multi-tenant cloud or inside your own Azure or AWS boundary. IT chooses which models run and sets token budgets by team, and a failed call retries on an approved fallback.

Reports and filings

Tacit gathers evidence from the systems your team already uses, chases what is missing and drafts the report in the regulator’s format. Every figure links to its source, and a named person approves.

Contract obligations

Tacit reads contracts such as joint venture, supply and client agreements. It tracks their obligations next to regulatory ones, so a clause is never missed because it lives in a different folder.

What makes Tacit different

Customers chose Tacit over each of these.

It comes with the regulatory knowledge

vs Microsoft Copilot

Copilot and Copilot Studio give you a capable assistant and the tools to build agents, but your team has to supply the regulatory knowledge. Tacit arrives with it: it starts from your sites, permits and contracts, works out which rules apply, and brings them into the work.

It does the work, not just the tracking

vs KPMG Risk Hub

KPMG Risk Hub gives risk teams one view of risks and controls. Tacit also gathers the evidence and drafts the filing, so your team reviews a finished document.

It applies each rule to your business

vs PwC Compliance Insights

Compliance Insights keeps a library of obligations and alerts you when rules change. Tacit maps each obligation and each change to your own sites, licences and contracts, then plans the work and drafts it.

Our cloud or yours, your models

vs public AI assistants

Tacit runs in our multi-tenant cloud or inside your own Azure or AWS boundary. Models run on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Bedrock, where the companies that make them never see your prompts or train on them. Tacit trains on your data only if you opt in, in writing. IT picks models from an allowlist and sees token spend by team.

It keeps working after the report

vs Big Four consultants

Consultants deliver a review at a point in time. Tacit keeps your register current, plans each obligation and drafts every filing as it falls due, for a named person on your team to approve.

Proven on your own deadlines

16-week paid pilot

Four weeks of onboarding, then three months on your real filings. You judge Tacit on your own deadlines before the annual contract.

Frequently asked questions

What does Tacit do?

Tacit reads the rules, permits and contracts your company is bound by and works out which apply to your sites, systems and teams. It shows what each change affects and by when. It plans the work, gathers the evidence and drafts filings for your team to approve.

Can our whole company use Tacit?

Yes. Anyone can start a session in the web app, Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp or email. Tacit checks the rules and contracts that apply before the work starts, and access follows the permissions your IT team sets.

Does Tacit submit filings on its own?

No. Every submission needs approval from a named person on your team. Tacit records who approved it, when, and what they changed in the draft.

How do we know Tacit is right?

Every conclusion cites the clause it relies on, and every figure in a draft links to its source document. When Tacit is unsure, it asks a named person and explains why.

Which regulators does Tacit cover?

Tacit works with rules from energy, environmental, infrastructure, financial and data protection regulators. Adding a jurisdiction means loading its rules, so coverage grows with each customer.

How is our data protected?

Tacit runs in our multi-tenant cloud, with each customer’s data isolated, or inside your own Azure or AWS boundary. Models run on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Bedrock, where the companies that make them never see your prompts or train on them. Tacit uses your data for training only if you opt in, in writing. We hold SOC 2 Type II, audited by Johanson Group in April 2026, and have a CASA/ASVS assessment on record.

Which AI models does Tacit use?

The ones your IT team approves. Tacit routes each task to a model on your allowlist, tracks token spend by team, and retries on an approved fallback if a provider fails. Models run on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Bedrock, where the companies that make them never see your prompts.

Can we block specific models or providers?

Yes. IT sets the allowlist for each team, and can block any model or provider.

How long does it take to get started?

The 16-week paid pilot starts with four weeks of onboarding. Tacit then runs for three months on your own filings, so you judge it against real deadlines.

How is Tacit priced?

Pricing depends on the sites, teams and filings in scope. We quote after a scoping call, and every engagement starts with a paid 16-week pilot.
