Super Intelligence (SI) in a box
Private SI, on your desk. SAIN Edge SI™ is an on-premises Super Intelligence (SI) machine for government and regulated industries.
We install it in your facility and you own it. SAIN OS and the models run on the machine, so files, prompts, and answers stay in the building. On delivery day your team plugs it in, opens sain.local in a browser, and starts working.
The Problem
SI asks regulated organizations to give up control.
Agencies, firms, and their contractors want the capability. They cannot hand over custody of sensitive files, accept a bill that grows with every seat, or depend on an account someone else controls.
Data leaves
Cloud SI puts files, prompts, and answers in systems your organization does not own or control.
Cost grows
Seats, usage, integration, and administration add up as more people start using it.
Access is rented
Another company controls the account, the policies, the price, and whether the service continues.
The System
One owned system, delivered together.
Hardware, SAIN OS, validated models, security, installation, and handoff. The accountability layer for Super Intelligence (SI) in regulated industries. SAIN Edge SI is the way to run it on a machine you own.

SAIN OS
The workspace your staff will use: applications, models, document search, permissions, and recovery, installed before delivery.
Validated models
Language models installed and tested on your kind of documents before each machine ships.
Installed for you
Network setup, a documented IT handoff, and 90 days of Launch Care, included in the price.

Who It Is For
Built for organizations whose files cannot leave the building.
The machine stays general. The workflows and the access rules are set for your work.
Government agencies and programs
Policy and manual search, records summaries, training material drafts. Built to run on networks that cannot reach the internet.
Government contractors
Proposal first drafts, clause comparison, deliverable reports. Controlled information stays on the contractor's own network.
Construction and architecture on public work
Spec and submittal review, RFI drafts, and the federal paperwork that comes with a government job.
Accounting and audit firms
Workpaper summaries, engagement letter drafts, and client document review without sending client books to a third party.
Law firms and legal teams
Discovery summaries, contract comparisons, and research memos, with privileged files kept in the firm.
Finance and banking
Credit memo drafts, policy search, and client file summaries inside your own perimeter.
Insurance
Claim file summaries, policy comparisons, and underwriting notes on the systems you already secure.
Mortgage and lending
Loan file review, condition tracking, and borrower letter drafts, with borrower data kept in-house.
Healthcare
Chart and referral summaries, prior authorization drafts, and policy search, with patient records kept on your network.
Final judgment stays with your staff and the professionals responsible for the work.
Local Custody
Files, prompts, and answers stay in the building.
The models and applications run on the machine itself, so it is built to keep working on networks with no path to the internet. Your organization sets the rules for who sees what.
SAIN keeps no copy of your data or your backups. SAIN Edge SI is a machine you place inside your own security boundary; scoping, accreditation, and authorization stay with your program, and we support them with documentation. SAIN is pursuing CMMC Level 2.
- Work stays on your network
- Ships with outbound traffic blocked, and runs in disconnected facilities
- Staff sign-in and access rules you control
- Backups you hold, with a restore tested before delivery
- A documented IT handoff
- No standing remote access for SAIN; any support session is one your IT team opens
Economics
Ownership changes the risk and the math.
You pay for the machine once. Adding a user within its capacity costs nothing, and a bigger team moves to a bigger size.
| The question | SAIN Edge SI, owned | Cloud SI, rented |
|---|---|---|
| Where the data lives | Your network | The vendor's systems |
| Who gets access | The whole team | Seats and usage limits |
| How you pay | One price for the machine, support optional | Recurring and metered |
| If the vendor changes terms | Your machine keeps running | The account decides |
| Adding a user within capacity | $0 | Another license |

How this estimate works
Hours returned a year = staff × weekly users × first-pass hours a week × share removed × 48 working weeks. Value = hours returned × loaded hourly cost. Value ramps up evenly over the first 3 months while staff start using it.
SAIN Edge SI price = the size package (machine plus setup) plus the workflow packs you choose, each priced at its base × the pack multiplier for your team size. Revenue (×1.0 under $5M up to ×1.3 at $100M or more) and industry (×1.0 standard, ×1.1 regulated, ×1.2 government and defense) adjust setup and packs. Only industry adjusts support. Neither ever changes the machine. Services round to the nearest $100 and support to the nearest $50. Your running costs are charged per machine, and managed support applies to each month after the first 90 days if you include it. From 31 to 100 staff the price is a planning estimate; above 100 it is quoted after a sizing call. SAIN OS software cost = setup plus the monthly fee for the full platform or for each module you pick, plus any hosting you run yourself. The machine is assumed to stay in service for the whole horizon.
| Team | Machine | Setup | Package | Packs × | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 7 staff | $14,999 | $5,000 | $19,999 | 1 | $1,000/mo |
| 8 to 15 staff | $14,999 | $10,000 | $24,999 | 1.25 | $2,000/mo |
| 16 to 30 staff | $27,999 | $22,000 | $49,999 | 1.5 | $3,500/mo |
| 31 to 100 staff | One machine per 15 staff (at least 3) at $14,000 each; setup +$300, support +$40/mo, and pack multiplier +0.01 for each person above 30, up to 100. Each 15 more staff adds a machine. Above 100 staff: quoted. | ||||
Each pack adds $150 a month to support. Packs: Proposal and RFP writer $2,500, Contract and compliance review $2,500, Meeting notes and transcription $2,000, Training and course builder $3,000, Image generation $3,000, Video generation $5,000, System integration $8,000.
The baseline is doing the work by hand. Rented SI would also return time, so the rented line compares price only; the difference it cannot show is custody of the files. This is an estimate built from your inputs, not a quote or a guarantee. It does not count the cost of a data incident, procurement time, or new work the returned time makes possible. Edge SI 01 starts at $19,999.

Questions
SAIN Edge SI questions
What is SAIN Edge SI?
SAIN Edge SI is a private SI machine that we install in your facility. It runs SAIN OS and validated language models on hardware you own, so files, prompts, and answers stay on your network. SAIN Edge SI is taking pre-orders now. Edge SI 01 starts at $19,999, installed and set up.
What does a pre-order commit me to?
Nothing yet. A pre-order reserves a build slot and starts a sizing conversation. We confirm the configuration, the price, and a delivery date with you, and nothing is final until you sign an order form. No payment is taken on this website.
What happens after the first 90 days?
Launch Care covers the first 90 days. After that, managed support is optional, from $1,000 a month, sized to your team and the workflows you add. It covers support, software updates, and model refreshes, delivered on a schedule your IT team approves. Without it, your IT team runs the machine using the documented handoff.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Each machine ships with outbound traffic blocked and is built to run in facilities with no internet connection at all. Updates are delivered on a schedule your IT team approves.
Can it run in controlled or disconnected environments?
It is designed for them. Accreditation and authorization stay with your program and your security officer, and we support that process with documentation. SAIN is pursuing CMMC Level 2.
What if we already run our own servers or a government cloud tenant?
SAIN OS is also available as software on infrastructure you already operate. Use the SAIN OS tab in the calculator to compare, and choose the software option on the pre-order form.
Does the SI make decisions for my staff?
No. It does the first pass: the reading, searching, summarizing, and first draft. Your staff review every answer, and final judgment stays with the professionals responsible for the work.
