The problem

You are losing applicants to a 12-hour silence.

The high schooler who fills out an inquiry form at 11pm on a Sunday is the most valuable lead your school will see this week. Twelve hours later, they are gone — to a school that answered first.

Your tenant. Your model. Your data. ALIS runs the control plane — not the data plane.
Governance

Student records never leave your tenant.

Inference runs in your Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or GCP Vertex tenant. Logs, prompts, traces, and evals live in your environment with retention you control.

Zero PII in third-party model context.

FERPA-aware role mapping. Designated school official boundaries respected.

Model and prompt change control is run the same way we run firewall rules: change-managed, reversible, audited.

Weekly accuracy, latency, and hallucination dashboards from the ALIS NOC.

Why ALIS

Build is slow. SaaS is shallow. Operated is the third option.

You don't need another vendor. You need an operator.
