Financial document AI that runs on your own hardware. On-premise processing for Swiss fiduciary workflows.

The Problem

Fiduciaries bleed on data entry, capped on billing

Manual cost per document · 3–5 min

CHF 2.15 – 3.50

billed only CHF 0.50 → −CHF 725/mo

lost per SME client, every month

THE COMPLIANCE TRAP

US CLOUD Act exposure: cloud AI routes client tax and payroll data through US-owned infrastructure.

Swiss nLPD: processing personal financial records in multi-tenant clouds raises data-protection and documented-handling obligations.

Why Now

Three regulatory waves close the cloud loophole

SEPT 2023

Swiss nLPD

Active & enforced

Data-residency and documented handling in force for fiduciaries today.

SEPT 2026

Cross-Border Factur-X

Imminent ★

PDF/A-3 + structured XML e-invoicing. Reception mandatory for all; issuance phased by size.

2026–2027

German GoBD + EU AI Act

Tightening

Stricter German audit-trail standards, plus EU AI Act scrutiny of automated financial decisions.

Regulatory scope varies by jurisdiction; phased rollouts; counsel review required.

The Solution

Sovereignty by design — the on-premise node

Documents stay on the client's hardware LIVE

OCR, extraction and review all run on-device, in the office. Designed so document contents are not routed through external cloud infrastructure.

Factur-X / ZUGFeRD export ROADMAP Q1 2027

PDF/A-3 + embedded XML (1.08 / 2.4). Not live today.

DeepBox · Abacus · Bexio ROADMAP

Connector architecture scoped; Abacus sandbox tested; not live today.

Illustrative product concept · hardware configuration under validation. Architectural isolation, not an absolute legal defense.

The Real ROI

From data-entry cost sink to advisory engine

The value isn't the cost we cut. It's the billable hours we hand back.

Today

Market

Start with fiduciaries; expand into regulated document workflows

TAM~60,000 DACH practices × CHF 3,588 ARR ≈ CHF 215M scenario

SAM~10,000 CH + southern DE + AT ≈ CHF 35.9M scenario

SOM100 customers × CHF 3,588 ≈ CHF 359K ARR target

Switzerland — Treuhand Suisse >4,200 members (association signal)

Germany — BStBK: 53,932 tax-advisory practices · 89,549 advisers (1 Jan 2026)

Austria — KSW: ~5,900 tax consultants · ~1,965 auditors

n practices × CHF 299/mo × 12 = ARR scenario

Illustrative serviceable-market scenario. Registry and association counts are sourced; ARR figures are modelled, not committed revenue.

How It Works · 1 of 2

A sovereign document node inside the client's office

1

Scan / Ingest

Capture documents from any source.

→

2

Local OCR + Extraction

Extract text and data entirely on-premise.

→

3

Human Review

Validate accuracy and resolve exceptions.

→

4

Structured Archive / ERP-ready

Store securely and integrate with your systems.

Current tested mode keeps processing local on client-controlled hardware; ERP integration is a roadmap item.

FIELD PILOT · PAID CHF 500 one historical transaction-review engagement · Basel fiduciary, name withheld · now inactive, non-recurring

PROCESSED TO DATE SMEs — gastronomy · retail · trades & industry · health/pharma distribution · documents — handwritten receipts, multi-page invoices, bank statements, expense notes.

CHF 0 MRR · 0 signed recurring clients · PRE-REVENUE Next proof point: 3–5 controlled fiduciary pilots in Basel

Sandbox corpus (1,187 / 2,401, three unsigned trials) is distinct from the real-receipt benchmark (12 Coop receipts, 9 full passes) and the single paid engagement. Provenance in appendix.

Business Model

Pay per output — not per seat, not per licence

Agent-as-a-Service for fiduciary documents: the client pays for finished, booked-ready output. Price scales with how deep the pipeline runs.

Built for a quadrant others skip

▲ On-premise, client-owned hardware · Fiduciary-specialized ▶

Sovereign AI servers

Local, but general-purpose. No fiduciary pipeline or appliance.

★ RAVEN Nest

On-site appliance + DACH fiduciary pipeline — a combination incumbents don't currently offer.

Cloud CRMs & LLM wrappers

Fully cloud-hosted. Client data transits US-owned infra — CLOUD Act exposure.

Cloud accounting (Bexio, Abacus)

Strong ledgers, cloud-first, no on-site AI extraction layer.
