COMPLIANCE.md / SECURITY.md:
- Priva cy — local-first defaults, Privacy Act 20 20 awareness, Te Mana Raraunga spirit, opt-in labelled third-party AI

cal Moat
Coastal Alpine Tech’s defensibili ty comes from the tight integration of six ca pabilities that are rarely combined at the ed ge:
-
Edge orchestration — LangGraph m ulti-tenant mesh (Weaver) that keeps every te nant’s knowledge and state strictly local.
-
Sovereign architecture — Default-offl ine, Te Mana Raraunga-aligned paths. Data gen erated on whenua stays on whenua unless the o wner explicitly moves it.
-
Hardware optimi sation — Canonical target of Raspberry Pi 5 16GB + Hailo-10H with energy-aware telemet ry (joules, tokens/s) built into every portal path.
-
AI deployment tooling — Shared Core SDK + dual-platform installers + Aether companion so the same stack runs on Windows/ Linux workstations and production edge nodes.
-
Proprietary local datasets — Continu ous DataFlywheel that records trajectories, h uman feedback, and hardware outcomes on-devic e, then curates golden sets under owner contr ol. Nothing leaves the node by default.
-
I nference optimisation — Hardware-aware me asurement and adaptive local paths (Ollama + optional Hailo acceleration) tuned for sub-10 W rural nodes rather than cloud GPUs.
These are not separate features. They form a singl e closed loop: sensors → local inference � � trajectory capture → human-in-the-loop co rrection → improved local models → better decisions — all while remaining offline-ca pable and sovereignty-compliant.
The result is a system that becomes more valuable the lo nger it runs on a given farm or site, without requiring continuous cloud connectivity or d ata export.
Coastal Alpine Tech is pre-seed. The following artef acts exist so that enterprise buyers, partner s, and investors can see the design intent, c urrent controls, and staged path forward — without over-claiming certification or maturi ty that does not yet exist.

Coastal Alpine Tech Limited pre-seed startup, New Plymouth, Taranaki, Ao tearoa New Zealand.
We are building offline- native, data-sovereign edge intelligence for remote industrial, agricultural, and biosecur ity settings across Aotearoa. This org profil e maps our Kiwi Edge AI Stack early-stage product architecture and open engineering wo rk, not a claim of large-scale commercial deployment or raised Series capital.
Our st ack is hybridised across Coastal-Alpine -Core, Weaver, Aether, and coasta l-alpine-stack: develop on Windows or Lin ux; target production edge on the canonic al node Raspberry Pi 5 (16GB) with Ha ilo-10H NPU (40 TOPS AI Accelerator / AI HA T+ 2) to support customary data rights (Te Ma na Raraunga / Maori Data Sovereignty) and off line operation in rural catchments facing clo ud blackouts.

hitecture Overview
End-to-end target dat a path on a sovereign edge node, hybridised w ith the Aether companion. Design intent: sensors and actuators stay on-farm; inference and orchestration stay local. Develop on W indows or Linux; target deploy on RPi 5.
Diagrams: Architecture images and Mermai d maps describe the target product architec ture for this pre-seed stack. They are engi neering design maps not claims of large-scale commercial fleet deployment.

rating Philosophies
- **Sovereign by Design **: Data generated on NZ whenua is processe d and stored locally, fully conforming to Te Mana Raraunga principles. We avoid commercial third-party cloud data leakage.
- Rural R esilience: Our systems are engineered to wi thstand rural connectivity blackouts, executi ng local multi-modal vision and audio inferen ce without any internet connection.
- Regu latory Safety: Domain agents are **designed ** to support actuator lockouts (e.g. fertiga tion lines) so operators can reduce risk of R egional Council rule breaches field validatio n is part of the pre-seed roadmap.
- Cross -platform hybrid: Foundation packages targe t Windows and Linux for development; inte nded production edge is RPi 5 + Hailo-10H.
HITL by default: High-risk agent actions and capital/compliance decisions require hum an approval no silent autonomous implementati on of governance changes.
Developed with pri de in Taranaki, New Zealand.
