PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE
Architecture starts with the records and decisions you must protect.
Evaluate the proposed Cortrova environment as a connected operating boundary: who and what can act, where data moves, what evidence remains, and how work recovers.
FIVE LAYERS TO MAP
From manufacturing record to operating evidence.
The exact implementation varies by release and customer scope. These layers give operations, IT, security, quality, and finance a shared architecture conversation.
- 01
Operating records
Orders, parts, revisions, materials, jobs, inspections, equipment, shipments, and financial handoffs.
- 02
Workflow and responsibility
States, approvals, exceptions, departmental ownership, human decisions, and permitted automation.
- 03
Identity and access
Users, services, roles, attributes, authentication, authorization, administrative responsibility, and review.
- 04
Integration boundary
Authoritative fields, interfaces, mapping, timing, retries, reconciliation, monitoring, and support.
- 05
Evidence and operations
Release, configuration, logs, audit retrieval, change, incident, backup, restore, export, and acceptance.
Keep AI inside a governed task boundary
For each AI-assisted task, document the source records, permitted data, model and provider, available tools, output or action, responsible reviewer, approval requirement, logging, evaluation set, monitoring, correction, escalation, and disablement path. A helpful response is not evidence that an action was authorized.
Treat integrations as operating systems, not connectors
Assign authority for each field and business event. Demonstrate authentication, authorization, mapping, timing, retries, duplicates, out-of-order events, reconciliation, monitoring, and support. A logo or named system does not establish a production-ready interface.
Test evidence and recovery together
Exercise ordinary work and failure work: denied access, missing records, changed requirements, corrected transactions, unavailable providers, backup restoration, export, rollback, and responsible escalation. Retain the proposed release, configuration, results, exceptions, and acceptance owners.
Ask for the exact architecture
Cortrova’s public architecture pages describe evaluation surfaces. A customer decision should use dated diagrams, data flows, control and responsibility mappings, provider details, configuration records, test evidence, and written commitments for the actual environment.
Your next step
Bring the real system boundary.
Use your source systems, data classes, roles, network constraints, and recovery needs to shape an architecture review.
