GOVERNMENT FOCUSED

Public service, without sending citizen data anywhere.

Public bodies hold personal information under statute, not by choice. Tecumseh.AI runs advanced models inside your own departmental environment, so briefing notes, case files and policy analysis move faster while the information stays in your custody and under your control.

DATA STAYS IN JURISDICTION/ PURPOSE-LIMITED/ AUDIT-READY/ DECISIONS STAY HUMAN

THE PROBLEM

Program time is going to paperwork.

Briefing notes, correspondence, case summaries, benefit determinations and procurement evaluations consume hours that belong to the public. The tools that could absorb that work are cloud services that route personal information through infrastructure your privacy office has no authority over.

So departments wait, or staff quietly paste citizen files into consumer tools and hope nobody asks where the data went. Neither is a plan. Authority, purpose and retention have to be enforced in the system itself — on every request, provable at the next audit or access-to-information request.

Accountability is not a policy layered over the tool. It is the tool.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Public records in, public service out

Secure intake

Case management, records and correspondence systems connect through adapters. Personal information and security classification are identified the moment a record arrives.

Sovereign departmental vault

Each public body gets a dedicated, encrypted data plane inside its own jurisdiction. No pooling of records across ministries, agencies or municipalities, ever.

Authority & purpose layer

Collection authority, purpose of use, staff role and retention schedule are checked before any model runs. Out-of-purpose requests are refused and recorded.

Official review

Drafts return to the accountable public servant for review and sign-off, with a full audit trail. The system informs decisions; it never makes them.

Nothing is sent to general-purpose external services. Every model runs on compute inside the environment your public body controls, and an accountable official signs off on the output.

WHY TECUMSEH.AI

Built for public bodies, not for pilots

Hours back to the program

Briefing notes, correspondence, file summaries and evaluation drafts move from overtime into a reviewed workflow — inside the boundary, on systems you already run.

Answers for your privacy and access office

Who accessed which record, under what authority, for what purpose — inspectable on request for privacy impact assessments, access requests and breach investigations, rather than reconstructed after the fact.

The decision stays with the official

Nothing reaches a file, a citizen or a minister unreviewed. The system drafts and organizes; the public servant decides, and the record shows who did.

COMPLIANCE

Built to the standards your oversight bodies apply

Privacy obligations are designed into the architecture rather than documented around it. Deployments are configured to meet the requirements that govern personal information held by federal institutions and by provincial and municipal public bodies across Canada.

Federal

Canada. Personal information handled under the Privacy Act stays inside the institution's own environment, with collection, use and disclosure recorded for every request and a public servant reviewing every output before it is relied on.

— Runs inside your security boundary, under the controls you already apply to classified information — Architecture and data flows documented to support your ITSG-33 security assessment — Outputs are drafts for human review, supporting your obligations under the Directive on Automated Decision-Making

Provincial & municipal

Alberta, Ontario and beyond. Information collected under provincial access and privacy legislation — FIPPA, MFIPPA, Alberta's Protection of Privacy Act and their counterparts — remains in the custody and control of the public body, resident in Canada, never pooled across organizations.

— Custody and control retained by the public body — Canadian data residency by deployment — Privacy impact assessments supported with documented data flows

Service first. Accountability built in.

If citizen information cannot leave your jurisdiction, start with a platform that assumes it never will.
