THE OPPORTUNITY

Healthcare is the next high-stakes domain for sovereign AI.

Oction is positioned to become the default sovereign AI infrastructure partner for Canadian healthcare.

THE PROBLEM - TWO BAD OPTIONS

Healthcare leaders face a forced choice:

Cloud AI workflow tools
MechanismVendor-hosted automation, scribes, chat
TradeoffPatient data leaves the building; cross-border risk; per-token cost inflation
AI governance-only platforms
MechanismRegistries, monitoring, risk assessments
TradeoffThey manage risk but do not run the AI; procurement buys process, not outcomes

Neither option gives hospitals both control and capability.

THE THIRD WAY - OCTION

What if AI could run inside the hospital, on hospital-controlled hardware, while remaining auditable and cost-predictable?

Oction delivers a sovereign medical AI layer:

We do not replace cloud AI vendors. We remove the trust assumption required to use them.

THE FOUR PILLARS

Anonymization of any data leaving the premise
Local differential privacy, de-identification, and synthetic data generation before export, research sharing, or vendor access
Vectorization speed
Hospital documents, protocols, imaging reports, and discharge summaries become queryable in sub-second time, without cloud latency
Hallucination control
Every answer cites source documents and is constrained by a domain-specific knowledge graph, improving trust and auditability
General applicability
One platform supports clinical documentation, knowledge retrieval, research data sharing, and operational analytics

PILLAR 1 - DATA NEVER LEAVES

On-premise anonymization and sovereignty by architecture.

Bottom line: hospitals can share insights without sharing patients.

PILLAR 2 - SPEED WITHOUT CLOUD LATENCY

Every clinical record becomes instantly queryable.

Honest status: Target average query latency is sub-second on commodity on-premise hardware. Baseline benchmark on a representative clinical corpus is in progress; result expected within 60 days of first health-system pilot.

OCTION LABS
Oction Labs mark

PILLAR 3 - TRUSTABLE OUTPUTS

Healthcare cannot afford confident wrong answers.

Honest status: Source-cited response rate and hallucination reduction are target metrics, not validated claims. We will measure both with a domain-specific eval suite (100-200 clinical Q&A pairs) against a baseline LLM during the first pilot.

PILLAR 4 - BROAD APPLICABILITY

One platform, multiple high-value clinical workflows.

Ambient clinical documentation
Local speech-to-text + structured note generation
Clinical knowledge retrieval
Instant, sourced answers from hospital protocols
Research data sharing
Synthetic and differentially private datasets across sites
Operational analytics
Patient flow, capacity, and quality reporting without cloud exposure
Clinical decision support
Real-time, source-grounded suggestions inside the EMR

GO-TO-MARKET - PHASE 0 IS LIVE

PHASE 0 IS UNDERWAY. Oction has completed its first sovereign AI system deployment in a regulated Canadian enterprise environment. Healthcare is Phase 1.

What Phase 0 proves:

Phase 1: Clinical Knowledge Assistant Pilot (Months 1-4)

Phase 2: Ambient Documentation / AI Scribe (Months 4-8)

Phase 3: Research Data Sharing (Months 8-12)

Phase 4: Embedded Clinical Decision Support (Year 2)

First 90 days: Identify and secure one reference health-system pilot partner. Concurrent outreach to Alberta Innovates, Infoway, and IRAP to align non-dilutive capital with pilot delivery.

REVENUE MODEL

Primary model: annual site license, entered through a paid pilot.

Pilot / POV
DescriptionFixed 90-day engagement to prove value on one use case
Indicative Pricing$25K - $50K fixed
Gross Margin Target50 - 60%
Site license
DescriptionAnnual license per facility or health authority
Indicative Pricing$200K - $500K / year
Gross Margin Target65 - 72%

Future expansion models (not current focus):

We are starting with site licenses because they match health-authority procurement behavior and produce the highest reference value.

WHAT WE NEED TO WIN

To become the default sovereign medical AI layer in Canada, Oction needs:

1. One reference health-system pilot partner.

2. Alignment with Infoway, Vector, CIHR, or IRAP programs for credibility and non-dilutive capital.

3. A named clinical advisor or board member with hospital operating experience.

4. Measured benchmarks (speed, citation rate, hallucination reduction) on a public or synthetic dataset.
