The problem

Everyone has the same AI. Your edge is what you teach it.

Off-the-shelf models know the world, not your business. The advantage goes to companies that put their own data and judgement into the model.

Off-the-shelf AI

  • Answers from public knowledge
  • Generic tone and format
  • Plausible, unverified output
  • Identical to your competitors'

Zerogate

  • Answers from your documents and history
  • Your formats, terms and conventions
  • Benchmarked against your experts' decisions
  • Built on data only you hold

Method

Five methods. We start with the cheapest one that works.

Most businesses never need custom training. We only escalate when benchmarks on your own data show it's worth it.

01

Context engineering

Instructions, examples and tool access that make the model follow your process.

Days
02

Retrieval (RAG)

Live lookups across your policies, manuals and past cases before every answer.

2–6 wks
03

Supervised fine-tuning

Training on your best work for consistent format and conventions.

4–8 wks
04

Preference tuning

Experts choose the better draft, and the model learns the quality they recognise.

4–8 wks
05

Custom RLJudgement

The model practises your core task and is scored against confirmed outcomes.

2–4 mths

Process

Proof before spend.

Four fixed-scope stages, each priced separately. You see measured results before committing to the next, and you keep everything delivered along the way.

01 · 1–2 wks

Audit

Map the workflow, review data quality and privacy, and pick the highest-return task.

Output: ranked opportunity report

02 · 2–3 wks

Benchmark

Build an expert-verified test set, then measure a leading model with retrieval on your real cases.

Output: working prototype and baseline score

03 · optional

Train

Fine-tuning or reinforcement learning against a target score agreed up front.

Output: adapted model and before/after report

04 · optional

Deploy

Integrate with your systems, with human review where it matters, monitoring and team enablement.

Output: production system and runbook

Data and ownership

Your model. Your data. Onshore.

For sensitive work we build on open-weight models hosted in Australia. The trained model is your asset, not a setting on someone else's platform.

Hosting
Australian cloud regions or your own infrastructure
Privacy
Every project reviewed against the Australian Privacy Principles before any data is used
Isolation
Your data never trains models for anyone else
Ownership
You own your data, your test set and your trained model
Lock-in
Open-weight models can't be withdrawn or repriced by a vendor

Who it's for

Businesses with years of expert decisions on file.

If your team makes the same kind of decision hundreds of times a month, and you can tell right from wrong, we can train on it.

FAQ

Common questions

When does Zerogate launch?

We're onboarding a small group of early-access partners first. Join the list and we'll contact you as places open.

What do early-access partners get?

Priority onboarding, founding-partner pricing locked in, and direct input into how our tooling is built.

How much data do we need?

Retrieval works with the documents you already have. Fine-tuning and reinforcement learning usually need several hundred confirmed past examples. The Audit tells you exactly where you stand.

Will our data leave Australia?

Only if you choose it. We can host open-weight models in Australian cloud regions or on your own infrastructure, and we confirm data residency in writing before any data moves.

Open-weight vs closed models?

Closed models are rented from their developer as a service. Open-weight models can be downloaded, hosted anywhere and trained freely. We use both, depending on your task, privacy needs and volume.

How is success measured?

Before any build, we agree a target on a test set of real cases your experts have verified, such as accuracy, handling time or rework rate. Every report shows results against that target.
