A leadership structure built for product credibility, partner reach and technical scale.
5. 04 — SECTION 01 01 WHY NOW Four pressures reveal one missing layer across data, systems and AI. Context → gap → category IT PRESS TOUR — LJUBLJANA — 2 SEPTEMBER 2026 A StratoFoundry platform
6. 05 — KARL / WHY OBJECT STORAGE CHANGES THE BASE Coexistence and Growth of the Object These access models coexist; object storage is growing for unstructured data and API-native workflows. BLOCK FILE / NAS OBJECT / S3 Application-addressed volumes Familiar hierarchical access API-native objects and metadata Databases · transactional systems Shared files · collaboration Scale · retention when configured OBJECT STORAGE DOES NOT ADD BY ITSELF Persistent identity · operational context · governed history Object storage scales content. KARL preserves the governed story around it. IT PRESS TOUR · LJUBLJANA STRATOFOUNDRY · KARL
7. 06 — DEMO · THE QUESTION IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · Can we explain a decision made under a state that no longer exists? Object: VENDOR-RISK-042 · supplier access renewal. WHY WAS SUPPLIER ACCESS RENEWED ON 5 AUGUST? T0 T1 T2 Decision Changes Investigation v7 · P3.2 · authorized v8 · P3.3 · revoked current state conflicts The present state is operationally useful. It is not sufficient historical evidence.
8. 07 — DEMO · T0 IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · T0 — The supplier is approved based on the evidence available at the time. The action is linked to the data version, policy, authority, AI run and human validation captured at that time. GOVERNED OBJECT GOVERNED ACTION Assessment v7 Medium risk Policy 3.2 Approval right active AI recommendation Renew for 30 days Human approval APP-214 Captured at 09:12 CEST STATE-007 T0 becomes addressable because its governed context was captured. RUN-20260805-0007
9. 08 — DEMO · T1 IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · T1 — The object, policy and access context change. The current environment remains operational, but it no longer explains the earlier action. AT T0 AT T1 DATA Assessment v7 · medium Assessment v8 · high POLICY Version 3.2 Version 3.3 · stronger threshold RIGHTS Approval active Approval revoked OBJECT ID VENDOR-RISK-042 VENDOR-RISK-042 Same object identity. Different data, authority and policy states.
10. 09 — DEMO · T2 IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · T2 — An incident turns history into an operational question. An auditor asks why access was renewed — while current evidence points elsewhere. CURRENT STATE AT T2 CAPTURED STATE AT T0 Assessment v8 Assessment v7 Policy 3.3 Approval right revoked ≠ Current object affected by incident KARL reconstructs captured history; it does not infer information that was never governed. Policy 3.2 Approval right active AI run + human validation
11. 10 — PRODUCT REPLICATION IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · S3Guardian Replication across S3, SaaS, on-prem and file protocols, distributed through weighted multi-instance zones.

15. 14 — THE INHERITED MODEL · WITH KARL CORE IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · KARL Core governs one object across connected and captured systems Existing systems keep their role while exchanging events, context, proofs and trusted states through KARL Core. KARL Transit WORKSTATIONS FILE SERVER create / update source file KARL Core BACKUP SERVER DMS / ECM ENTERPRISE APPS trusted state + receipt ID + version + context business state + API GOVERNED FLOW BUS governed memory S3 / NAS / DB content + metadata ! SECURITY / SIEM context + impact EVENTS · CONTEXT · PROOFS · TRUSTED STATES CONTENT ONLY WHEN REQUIRED One governed history serves every system without replacing it. KARL does not assume business responsibility for other data sources. AI AI / ANALYTICS sources + provenance
16. 15 — SECTION 02 02 THE KARL MODEL One governed object carries identity, time, context and evidence. Model → integration → deployment IT PRESS TOUR — LJUBLJANA — 2 SEPTEMBER 2026 A StratoFoundry platform
17. 16 — KARL / CATEGORY KARL adds a Memory & Evidence Layer — not another repository 1 IDENTITY 2 One logical object remains addressable across captured states. TIME States and context can be queried for a selected date. 3 CONTEXT Actors, systems, rights, policies and provenance remain linked. 4 EVIDENCE Integrity and provenance elements can be inspected and packaged. KARL complements ERP, document management, object storage, backup and AI systems; it does not absorb their authority. Memory Layer describes the value. Middleware describes one deployment mechanism. IT PRESS TOUR · LJUBLJANA STRATOFOUNDRY · KARL
18. 17 — KARL / THE MEMORY LAYER UNIT One governed object binds the exact source to its derived representations Derived indexes improve access; they never replace the authoritative source state. GOVERNED OBJECT persistent identity · captured version · time · context · available evidence AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE Exact content or source reference Bound to the captured source version DERIVED REPRESENTATIONS + Text index · OCR · transcript · embeddings Model, configuration and source version remain identifiable so the projection can be rebuilt. Read · compare · restore through an authorized system ONE IDENTITY · ONE CAPTURED VERSION · TWO ACCESS MODES KARL links exact content, derived meaning and context without turning the index into a second source of authority. IT PRESS TOUR · LJUBLJANA STRATOFOUNDRY · KARL
19. 18 — ONE LAYER, FOUR OUTCOMES IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · One memory layer. Four simultaneous outcomes. SEARCH EVIDENCE Find the right object, version and context. Demonstrate integrity, provenance and identity. ONE GOVERNED HISTORY COMPLIANCE RESTORE Package controls, gaps and authorizations. Select and verify a trusted state. The same IDs, versions, provenance and policies power every outcome.
20. 19 — KARL / NAVIGABLE MEMORY Objects × time × recorded relations make governed history navigable Only captured objects, states and relations inside the governed scope are queryable. OBJECTS → DOSSIER T0 OBJECTS × T1 TIME × RECORDED RELATIONS At a selected instant: state + context + policy + rights + available evidence T2 T3 T4 T5 POLICY AI RUN CREATED APPROVAL Data v7 · Policy P3 identity COPIED provenance TRANSFORMED integrity Data v8 · Policy P4 USED context DECISION SELECTED INSTANT T4 linked state + context + evidence evidence QUESTION TIME ↓ What was valid at decision time? Each instant preserves the four governed objects, their state and their recorded relations. At T5, KARL retrieves the exact data, policy, context and evidence that were valid at decision time.

From that moment on, every commit, test and verdict is linked to it — and I can show you, at any past date, what was required, what was proven, and by whom: human or agent.” One memory. Three doors. A re-verifiable history.
22. 21 — POSITIONING · WHAT IT IS KARL CORE v2 · KARL Core: one verifiable memory for delivery A secure object platform — not another repository — that every tool writes to and every answer reads from. VERIFIABLE MEMORY GOVERNED BY DEFAULT PROOF ON DEMAND MULTI-TENANT BY DESIGN Every state is provable Access is a decision Evidence as a product Many clients, zero mixing Objects, versions and relations are stored immutably on S3-compatible storage and chained into a signed journal. Any state can be re-verified later — by anyone, offline. Every call passes authentication and a fail-closed policy decision. Unsigned actions simply do not exist; neither do anonymous writes. Traceability graph, AI lineage, gate verdicts, frozen baselines and signed evidence dossiers — exportable, recheckable, auditor-ready. Shared-bucket or dedicated-bucket topologies, per-tenant credentials and signing keys, client-held signatures, per-tenant usage metering. One governed object. One verifiable history. Evidence that follows.
23. 22 — SECURITY · FLOW OF A GOVERNED CALL KARL CORE Authenticated. Authorized. Signed. Metered. The path of a governed call — from client to verifiable memory — with the controls at each step. KARL FORGE UI KARL CORE v2 VERIFIABLE MEMORY Console, dashboards & reviews Governed gateway Proof at rest API keys & signed KARL1 tokens Signed append-only journal (Ed25519) SECURE EDGE KARL TRANSIT Governed import / export TLS 1.2+ everywhere Fail-closed policy (RBAC + ABAC) mTLS client certificates Tenant guard — cross-tenant access denied cert → tenant mapping CAS-guarded immutable objects Any S3-compatible bucket Every call metered per tenant Per-tenant buckets or namespaces RFC 3161 TSA Independent trusted timestamps METRICS & USAGE Prometheus · signed usage rollups CI · AGENTS · API Tools, webhooks, SDK clients No unsigned path exists between the client and the memory layer.
24. 23 — MATURITY · PROOF POINTS KARL CORE Engineered like infrastructure, documented like a product The qualities you cannot see in a demo — measured. 21 875 110 3 100% Rust crates, one workspace automated tests, all green documented RPC methods transports: REST · JSON-RPC · gRPC Rust — unsafe code forbidden STABLE CONTRACTS DOCUMENTED HONESTLY DELIVERED MULTITENANT Versioned OpenAPI snapshot, stable error codes, normative canonical formats — integrations do not break silently. Architecture, security model and honest limits are written down — including what KARL does not prove. Shared & dedicated modes, per-tenant keys, client signatures, usage rollups and mTLS — implemented and tested end-toend. A platform you can put in front of an auditor today.
25. 24 — PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION · IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · Temporal re-anchoring Trusted-state recovery, forensic reconstruction and evidence-backed response from one governed history. DEMONSTRATION TRUSTED-STATE RECOVERY WORKFLOW Detect, select, hand off and prove the trusted state used for recovery.
26. 25 — DEPLOYMENT IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · Lean target footprint: one runtime and customer-selected S3 KARL RUNTIME CUSTOMER S3 OPTIONAL COMPUTE Signed runtime for object history, policy, Governed content and metadata remain in Local model, vector or integration services evidence and APIs. a customer-selected S3 location. only when the use case requires them.

Migrations break the link between content and context. KARL Transit moves governed datasets as sealed KMLX archives — content, metadata and evidence preserved, verified before publication. 01 · THE PROBLEM 02 · THE ANSWER 03 · THE DISCIPLINE 04 · THE PROOF Plain copies scatter files from their context: versions, timestamps, owners and proof of origin do not survive a migration or a backup. Sealed KMLX archives: compressed packs, signed manifests, Ed25519 COMMIT — optional AES-256GCM encryption with a publicly verifiable envelope. Read-only source, explicit destination, transactional import, qualified losses — never a silent drop. Pause, resume and checkpoint by design.

46. KARL 45 — KEY TAKEAWAYS From data that exists to memory and evidence that can be trusted. One governed object. One verifiable history. Evidence that follows. CATEGORY KARL is not an agent’s memory. It is the historical authority of the governed state used by systems and AI systems. TEMPORALITY Data changes. Authority changes. KARL preserves the state that explains the decision. LIMITATION KARL reconstructs captured history; it does not infer what was never governed. RECOVERY The backup restores bytes. KARL helps determine which governed state should be restored—and why. KARL Audit KARL Forge KARL Cyber T0 → T4 KARL IA Studio PROOF Verifiable means inspectable. It does not automatically mean true, complete or certified. IT PRESS TOUR — LJUBLJANA — 2 SEPTEMBER 2026 A StratoFoundry platform

48. 47 — READING GUIDE IT PRESS TOUR LJUBLJANA · Glossary for this presentation Eight deliberately selected terms used in a precise, bounded sense throughout this deck. CORE MODEL CLAIM / ASSERTION A verifiable statement about a capability or result, bounded by scope, conditions, date and available evidence. KNOWLEDGE LAYER A cross-system layer linking persistent identity, successive states, context and evidence without replacing source systems. GOVERNED OBJECT A logical entity tracked over time under explicit identity, access, policy, provenance and integrity rules. STATE The attributes, relations, metadata and references known for an object at a specific time or interval. TRUST & EVIDENCE PROVENANCE Documented origin, producer and captured transformations of data or a state. POLICY Versioned rules governing an object, actor, access, operation or decision at a given time. EVIDENCE PACK A structured dossier of states, timeline, actors, policies, controls and known gaps — not an audit or certificate. TRUSTED STATE A candidate state evaluated against explicit criteria for integrity, completeness, provenance, policy, rights and incident markers. Verifiable means inspectable — not automatically true, complete or certified.
