They find Knolo
Operators arrive because retrieval they already bought is not evidence. The answers cannot be replayed. The authority cannot be shown.
HIVE · Knolo
A verifiable knowledge runtime for agents.
HIVE builds production AI systems on Knolo. V4 packs ship today. V5 makes the pack a runtime.
Evidence over demos. American urgency, European caution.

Evidence query
What does the 2024 MSA say about indemnification for subcontractors?
Answer · strict
lexical first · rerank off
Indemnification for subcontractors is in §8.3 of the 2024 MSA. The contractor remains liable for subcontractor acts as if they were its own, with a written flow-down required before any subcontract is effective.

One .knolo artifact should answer:
01
What did the agent know?
02
What evidence did it use?
03
What was it authorized to do?
04
What did it change?
05
Can another machine reproduce and verify the result?
Software
Knolo Knowledge Image · Receipts · Runtime · Bootcamp
Knowledge Image
One mountable file: knowledge + state + policy + proofs.
Receipts
What was read, written, and run — with a trail another machine can verify.
Runtime
Durable agent runs: tools, budgets, approvals, resume, audit. V5 destination.
Bootcamp
How work starts. One corpus, one workflow, scoped after intake.
Failure mode
Prototypes die for boring reasons.
Not because the model is dull. Because the system cannot prove what it used, who allowed the action, or whether yesterday’s answer still holds.
01
Wrong document
The model answers. The source is the draft, the email, or last year’s policy.
02
No approval path
An agent can write, send, or file. Nobody can stop it with a record.
03
No eval
Quality is a demo reaction. Production has no pass/fail.
04
No owner
A prototype with three champions and zero operator of record.
05
Wrong cloud
Privileged files sit in a vendor’s default region because the slide said “secure.”
A number an operator understands
Fourteen days of file search. Then five.
A mid-market SIU team was losing a week-plus per complex claim just locating the controlling documents. Bootcamp week produced a Knolo Knowledge Image over the live file corpus and a grounded path with citations. Deploy closed in week eight. Hive Forensics has operated the system since.
Anonymized pattern. No Fortune logos. Legal, insurance, property, and payments are the lanes.
Case patterns →How clients start
Retrieval they already bought is not evidence.
02
Bootcamp
One corpus. One workflow. One owner. A working path on Knolo, in the environment they name.
03
HIVE deploys a system
Investigations, private ops, or an operator agent — sitting on the Knowledge Image, not on a prompt.
04
Hive Forensics operates it
The legal entity runs the system. Scope is set after intake. There is no public price list.
The product
Not LangChain. Not Pinecone. A verifiable knowledge operating layer.
HIVE systems are built on Knolo. Models are replaceable. The knowledge runtime is not. V4 is what you can mount today. V5 is what the product is becoming.
01
Knolo Runtime
Durable agent runs: tools, budgets, approvals, resume, audit.
V5 destination
02
KnoloDB
Embedded transactional knowledge database inside the runtime.
V5 destination
03
.knolo Knowledge Image
One mountable file: knowledge + state + policy + proofs.
V4 ships the file today; V5 extends the contract
04
EQL
Evidence Query Language. Canonical evidence packages.
V5 destination
05
Cortex
Agent memory on the same ledger.
V4: overlay log. V5: ledger-backed views
06
Knolo Receipt
Read / write / run evidence.
V4: read receipts. V5: read + write + run
07
Knolo Studio
Open one artifact. Inspect roots, timelines, plans, runs.

Who it is for
Operators who cannot afford theater.
- Law firms and legal ops that need citations, not chat.
- Insurance SIU and investigations teams that live in files.
- Property operators running work orders, vendors, and night desks.
- Payments and fraud teams that must reconstruct a decision.
- Professional-services firms with private knowledge that cannot leak.
Who it is not for
We refuse unpaid theater.
- Brochure chatbot shops.
- Unpaid pilots and “let’s explore together.”
- Teams that want GPT in the footer of a marketing site.
- Anyone who needs a public-model demo more than an audit trail.
HIVE BOOTCAMP
The commercial front door is not a call.
A five-day engagement on the customer’s real data. Friday: working workflow, eval notes, a production proposal. Scope is set after intake. Bootcamp is the motion — not a priced SKU on this site.
Not ready to put data in a bootcamp? Advisory review remains available— secondary, not the hero path.
