Prompts and source files
Name where users submit questions, files, images, voice notes, and structured data, and which channel receives them.
Data residency / location is part of architecture
Where your AI data lives is part of the product.
Residency is not a country label added to a landing page. It includes prompts, source documents, embeddings, logs, backups, support access, model inference, and the systems connected to the workflow. We map that path before recommending a region or private setup.

What residency really includes
The storage bucket is only one stop.
A defensible location decision follows the information through the entire system, including the places people forget to ask about.
Inference and retrieval
Map the model provider, region, retrieval store, embeddings, OCR, connectors, and any external processing step.
Logs, support, and backups
Include telemetry, audit records, backups, support access, exports, retention, deletion, and disaster recovery.
Residency is not compliance by itself
A region does not answer every legal question.
Name the actual rule
The client and its advisers decide whether a region, provider, contract, network, or physical boundary satisfies the requirement.
Read the current terms
Retention, support access, subprocessors, backups, and inference routes can differ between products and plans.
Trace connected tools
Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, email, CRM, storage, and monitoring are part of the data path when the workflow uses them.
A residency review
Draw the path before choosing the region.
List the information
Separate public, internal, client, personal, regulated, and restricted material in the proposed workflow.
Trace every component
Map interface, application, storage, retrieval, model, logs, backups, support, connectors, and human access.
Compare approved options
Assess client cloud, regional cloud, managed provider, self-hosted, and local paths against the documented requirement.
Record the decision
Produce the architecture map, provider assumptions, access boundary, open questions, and pilot acceptance criteria.
Data residency is not where the dashboard is hosted. It is where the workflow sends, stores, processes, and exposes information.
Why trust Pristine3D?
We build and operate production software.
Pristine3D Ltd builds and operates live digital products, and we run private AI workflows internally as part of our own operations. We scope around your real workflow: the documents you own, the questions your team asks, and the access boundary you approve. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, we work remotely with clients worldwide.
We already run live products
Based in Lagos, Nigeria, Pristine3D currently builds and operates smartcards.ng, venu.ng, photoshoot.ng, and ugc.ng in production.
We start with the actual workflow
One input, one output, one test set, and one person who owns the result. We scope a real workflow instead of a transformation programme.
The boundary stays visible
Cloud, model, storage, and messaging accounts stay in your name. The chosen data path, access rules, test record, documentation, and training are part of the agreed scope.

Full pricing and what changes the quote
Straight answers
Common questions.
Can you guarantee GDPR or NDPA compliance?
No. We map the technical data path for review against the client's requirements. The client and its advisers approve the final legal position.
Does a regional cloud solve residency?
It may address one part of the requirement. Prompts, model inference, logs, backups, support, and connected channels still need to be checked.
What do we receive from a review?
A current-state map, options, data-flow risks, recommended pilot architecture, assumptions, and the questions that need client or counsel approval.
Own your knowledge base
The model is not the product. The knowledge base is.
Documents, the retrieval index, access rules, and the workflows built around them are the asset, and they compound. We deploy so the knowledge base stays yours: on your accounts, in the environment you choose, under access rules your team defines. The model behind the answers is a connector, so the knowledge base moves with you, not with a vendor.
Your corpus, your index
The document store, metadata, and retrieval setup live on accounts you own. No vendor holds the corpus.
Models are swappable parts
Change the model provider, move regions, or go local without rebuilding the knowledge base or the workflow.
The knowledge base is the alpha
Every improvement to the corpus improves the answers, and the improvement stays with you, not with a vendor.
