A deep-tech company building deterministic vector search with provable guarantees — every excluded document carries a mathematical proof. Built by a multidisciplinary team of collaborators. For regulated industries where uncertainty is not an option.
*Latest (v1.9.9 + normalize 1.2.1, new Kaggle datasets) — winnex-madhava 1.9.9 — five new datasets + quality flags: pip install from PyPI (winnex-madhava 1.9.9 + winnex-ai-normalize 1.2.1), five real Kaggle embedding datasets run raw (GloVe-Twitter d=25, FastText d=300, SBERT-forum d=384, ProtBERT-CAFA5, Word2Vec d=300). 0 bound violations in every dataset and every run. Clean datasets: Recall@10 = 1.0 (GloVe-Twitter 99.9% bound-pruned; ProtBERT-CAFA5 98.5% bound-pruned; FastText 0.974; SBERT-forum 0.991 with 78.6% bound-pruned). The Word2Vec d=300 row is honestly degraded (94% of its vectors are NaN — the dataset itself is corrupt): the quality gate detects it, blocks PCA, and routes the safe preset (R@10 0.7333 vs 0.4833 forced-pca). The engine never hides a non-perfect number. Prior reference: 1.9.6 honest (GloVe/BIGANN/arXiv) remains valid. Correction (2026-08-08): an audit proved the official BIGANN GT file in the shurangwu/bigann-100m dataset unusable with its reordered base (GT ids point to wrong vectors; 0/500 hits in the exact top-10). Prior "R@10=0.8360/NDCG=0.8611 at 100M vs official GT" figures were not meaningful and are retired; the valid reference is the exact-scan local ceiling. Build speed vs HNSW remains 16× at 1M (Madhava 2.57s vs HNSW 41.3s); the earlier "173×" figure was removed for accuracy.
The Winnex AI value proposition is to act in sectors where uncertainty generates astronomically high fines — turning vector search from an IT problem into a Legal Defense asset. This is the origin story of the engine that made it possible.
Madhava was initially developed to be part of the Winnex Maestro ERP — the engine Winnex built to power our own AI. When we implemented generative AI into our ERP, we hit a wall: the approximate vector search and the exact (brute-force) search were both too slow to be viable.
A blind spot in the Generative AI market. Approximate vector search is fast but loses documents without proof; exact brute-force search is provable but far too slow to be viable. Nothing in the market solved both sides of that trade-off — so we built the missing piece.
We already had a conceptual research field developed by a member of the team — concepts of vector space that had been explored before the product need existed. We leveraged those concepts, and this solved the bottlenecks of RAG agents while optimizing real-time streaming of data sets.
Today that engine powers solid products across the entire Winnex line. Tracer-GOV, Tracer-JUS, Tracer-MED and Tracer-GAP all use the Madhava motor — alongside the Maestro ERP and every other Winnex product. What started as an internal bottleneck became the company's mathematical core.
In regulated sectors, a single missed document can become a fine or a lawsuit. Approximate search cannot say "I looked everywhere" — Madhava can. By carrying a per-document Cauchy-Schwarz proof, vector search stops being a question of performance and becomes a question of defensibility in court. That is the difference between an IT tool and a legal asset.
The Winnex ecosystem is organized in layers — from the mathematical C++ engines, to the pip packages, to the inference layer, to regulated applications. Each layer is independently deployable.
The fastest way to start. Everything is available via pip: winnex-madhava, winnex-nano, winnex-xfactor, winnex-madhava-sec — each with a native C++20 wheel, Python bindings, and reproducible Kaggle benchmarks. Install in seconds, verify the proof yourself. See the packages →
Native C++20 operators with mathematical guarantees. Madhava (deterministic vector search, Cauchy-Schwarz bound), Nano (sovereign inference, no CUDA), X-Factor (manifold projector), Madhava-Sec (agent security). Every engine is provable by construction — Recall@10=1.0, 0 bound violations. See the Engines →
Retrieval-Augmented Generation with a mathematical guarantee. Replaces the probabilistic retrieval layer (HNSW) with Madhava-Sec bound verification — every document fed to the LLM carries proof it belongs in context; every excluded document carries proof it does not.
The inference layer for data convergence and governance — and the birthplace of Madhava. Data from legacy systems converges into a governed stream (via the Madhava fast build), inference runs on real data, and agents operate structurally inside a prepared environment — with WorkRAI, Cronologia, and Strategy Room. Where Madhava was born →
Four domain products, one provable core. Tracer-GOV (government audit), Tracer-JUS (legal e-Discovery), Tracer-MED (clinical triage), Tracer-GAP (financial gap analysis). Built for banks, governments, hospitals, and law firms where the cost of a wrong decision is a fine or a lawsuit. Explore the Tracer Series →
Now public and ready to adopt. In 2026-08-18 Winnex released its Liferay integrations — tracer-med-liferay and tracer-gov-liferay — as public open repositories, in line with Winnex AI's publication policy. Born from a client implementation, the solution is designed to be reused by any regulated entity operating Liferay (hospitals, health plans, courts, oversight bodies). Three OSGi bundles (api / service / portlet) + a FastAPI microservice give any Liferay portal soundness-guaranteed retrieval with a mathematical proof, WORM audit trail, and compliance reports. tracer-med-liferay → · tracer-gov-liferay →
Mathematically guaranteed legal AI. Seven specialized RAIs: Discovery Counsel, Due Diligence, Compliance, IP Examiner, Litigation, Contract Audit, Privacy. FRCP, EU AI Act, LGPD compliant. Named after Solon the lawgiver.
Deep Tech, not wrappers. Every engine is a native C++20 operator with a mathematical guarantee, published on PyPI and reproduced on Kaggle.

Installation summary:
1. pip install winnex-madhava · 2. build_engine(corpus, dim=128) · 3. search(query) → top-K with 0 violations.
Python ≥ 3.8 · NumPy · manylinux wheel (CPython 3.12) or build from source (C++20 + CMake ≥ 3.20).
pip install winnex-madhava
Requirements: Python ≥ 3.8 + NumPy. Pre-built manylinux wheel (CPython 3.12); 3.8–3.11 builds from source (C++20 + CMake ≥ 3.20).
import winnex_madhava, numpy as np

Recall vs the motor's own exact-scan on the same query — the valid ceiling, mathematically independent of the dataset GT. Five public embedding datasets run raw (no numpy pre-processing), motor + normalize installed from PyPI: winnex-madhava 1.9.9 — five datasets + normalize v2.
| Dataset (raw, real) | R@10 | Bound-pruned | Latency | Build | Vio |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GloVe-Twitter d=25 (preset default) | 1.0000 | 99.9% | 1.65 ms | 0.1 s | 0 |
| ProtBERT-CAFA5 d=1024 (pca_corpus) | 1.0000 | 98.5% | 4.11 ms | 2.7 s | 0 |
| SBERT-Forum d=384 (pca_corpus) | 0.991 | 78.6% | 1.90 ms | 1.8 s | 0 |
| FastText d=300 (preset default) | 0.974 | 11.0% | 1.41 ms | 1.5 s | 0 |
| Word2Vec d=300 (quality gate → preset word2vec) | 0.7333 | 0.0% | 0.26 ms | 0.1 s | 0 |
The five rows above are the 1.9.9 kernel result. Honest reading: 0 violations everywhere; clean corpora route the recommended config and recover 78.6–99.9% by mathematical bound; the Word2Vec row is a dataset-quality finding, not an engine limit — its raw file is 94.7% NaN, so the quality gate blocks PCA and routes the safe preset. Reference table below (1.9.6, historical):
| Method | R@10 | Lat (ms) | Bound-pruned | Vio |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exact-scan ceiling (same query) | 1.0000 | — | — | — |
| GloVe d=100 (pca_corpus) | 1.0000 | — | 72.4% | 0 |
| BIGANN d=128 (pca_corpus) | 1.0000 | — | 99.9% | 0 |
| arXiv d=1536 (pca_corpus) | 1.0000 | — | 61.2% | 0 |
| arXiv d=1536 (random — honest) | 0.9960 | — | 0.0% | 0 |
Madhava recovers 99.6–100% of the exact top-10 with 0 bound violations in every run. At high dimension (arXiv d=1536), the random basis barely bounds (0.0%) and leans on the prefilter heuristic — so pca_corpus is the recommended basis for modern embeddings, restoring 61.2% bound pruning and recall 1.0. The 0.996 is published as-is. PCA basis build is measured publicly: d=128 → 0.3s, d=1536 → 4.4s. The official GT file in the dataset was audited and found unusable with its reordered base (0/500 GT hits in the exact top-10) — see the GT-validity note below. Earlier "R@10=0.5225/0.8360 vs official GT" figures are retired.
metric — 'cosine' (default) or 'l2'.
quant — 'int8' (default) or 'none'.
stage1_dim / stage2_dim — 64 / 128 (cascade of bounds B1/B2).
k1_fraction / k2_fraction — 0.05 / 0.01.
modulation — True (error-backprop ranking; pruning by B2).
postfilter — True (exact re-score).
normalize_input — True (cosine).
seed — 42 (deterministic MGS projections).
Madhava scans all vectors with a bound (higher latency per query), but the build is ultra-fast — no graph to construct. Build 10M ≈ 1s local (AVX2/FMA) vs HNSW ≈ 1025s.
Use case: continuous ingestion, dynamic RAG, batch processing, and RAM/CPU-constrained environments where HNSW rebuilds are prohibitive.

The agent-security framework built on the Madhava bound engine. Applies the same Cauchy-Schwarz guarantee to security: pruning unsafe candidates with a mathematical proof, instead of regex or blacklists.
Installation summary:
1. pip install winnex-madhava-sec · 2. MadhavaSecEngine() · 3. build(attack_vectors) · 4. check_bounds(query) → per-layer bound verification.
Action embeddings are 20-dimensional; cascaded projection [4D → 16D] for pruning and refinement.
pip install winnex-madhava-sec
Imports as madhava_sec. Components: MadhavaSecEngine (bound verification), FormalVerifier (candidate verification), AttackFamilyEngine (attack families).
import madhava_sec, numpy as np
engine = madhava_sec.MadhavaSecEngine()
engine.build(attack_vectors_20d) # N x 20 action embeddings
stats, n_total = engine.check_bounds(query_20d)
# stats = {'4D': viol_4d, '16D': viol_16d}
Executed locally with the installed pip package (winnex-madhava-sec v2.0.0) on random 20D vectors:
| Step | Result |
|---|---|
| Build 500 attack vectors | 0.53 ms |
| check_bounds (query) | 0.16 ms |
| Bound violations — layer 4D | 0 |
| Bound violations — layer 16D (refine) | 79 (candidates for exact refinement) |
Transparent note: check_bounds verifies the Cauchy-Schwarz bound per layer. Candidates exceeding the threshold on the dense layer require exact refinement — this is the documented, honest behavior of the cascade, not a claim of zero-cost filtering.
Executed with winnex-madhava v1.2.1 (2,000 random 64D vectors, top-10): build + search = 33.16 ms, bound_violations = 0. Run it yourself:

np.random.seed(42)
corpus = np.random.randn(2000, 64).astype(np.float32)
query = np.random.randn(64).astype(np.float32)
engine = winnex_madhava.build_engine(corpus, dim=64, k=10)
res = engine.search(query)
print(res.bound_violations) # 0 — per-document bound held
Data convergence and governance for regulated enterprises. The Maestro is the inference layer where data becomes stream, stream becomes real inference, and agents operate structurally inside a prepared environment.
Every enterprise data source converges into one governed stream. The Maestro ingests data from legacy systems (SAP, Oracle, banking ERPs), databases, and documents — no migration required. The Madhava fast build turns this converged data into a real-time index (100K vectors in 0.45s, 1M in 2.57s), so data becomes stream — queryable, auditable, and ready for inference in seconds, not hours.
Inference runs on the real converged data, never on mocks. Madhava was initially developed here, to be part of the Winnex Maestro ERP — the engine we built to make generative AI viable on real enterprise data. The Madhava Cauchy-Schwarz bound engine provides deterministic retrieval over the live stream — Recall@10 = 1.0, 0 bound violations, with a per-document mathematical proof. The Maestro orchestrates which engine config fits each workload (retrieval, batch RAG, streaming alerts, chat) via a measured module→engine map.
Agents operate structurally inside a prepared environment. WorkRAI — atomic task execution with a formal 4-stage pipeline (Validation → Sandbox → Gate → Audit). Cronologia — multi-step process timeline orchestration (10s polling, auto-advance, escalation). Strategy Room — facilitator-mediated multi-agent deliberation with Ed25519 signatures, formal voting, and dissent recording. Every autonomous action passes a deterministic validation gate: sandbox → Madhava bound (~65 ms) → safety consensus → human validation (regulated decisions) → commit with cryptographic audit.
WSafe — Credential vault (AES-256-GCM). PiPrime — Spectral embedding generation via SVD of corpus. Winnex Madhava-Sec — Deterministic similarity scoring with provable Cauchy-Schwarz upper bounds and int8 quantization margin. SafetyEnsemble — Multi-embedder semantic consensus for prompt security. Tracer-Gov / Axiom — Cryptographic audit trail (SHA3-256 chain + Ed25519). Per-document mathematical proof for every excluded document.
Every Maestro module is mapped to the Madhava engine configuration that best fits its workload, justified by the real benchmark (subset 1M · 100 queries · Kaggle GPU P100 · recall vs exact-scan local ceiling).
| Módulo Maestro | Motor | Configuração | Justificativa |
|---|---|---|---|
| WorkRAI (compliance) | Bound 5%/1% | int8, postfilter | 99.6% recall, 0 violations, prova matemática. HNSW perde 2.4% sem explicação. |
| DevAI (batch RAG) | Speed GPU batch | Acumula 50+ queries | 3.1ms/query, build 1.5s, R=1.0. Determinístico. |
| Alertas (streaming) | Bound 5%/1% | Rebuild a cada 1-60s | Build 2s para 1M, 14s para 10M. HNSW leva 159s/3209s. |
| Sala Mensagens (search) | Speed GPU exact | Single-query | 6.1ms, aceitável para chat. Build 1.5s. |
| Fallback sem GPU | Bound 5%/1% ou Scan exato | CPU | Se GPU indisponível, bound a 46ms ou scan a ~50ms. |
Contrast with approximate indexes: HNSW(ef=128) recovers 97.6% of the exact top-10, IVF(np=50) 92.5%, IVF-PQ 47.8% — all faster (sub-ms) but without per-document proof.
Madhava Direct/Cascade — C++20 vector search engine with AVX2/FMA vectorization, Modified Gram-Schmidt orthogonal projections, int8 quantization with worst-case margin guarantees. HMC Hierarchical Engine — Hamiltonian Monte Carlo navigation on the unit sphere S^(d-1) for semantic retrieval with PiPrime anchor framework and SO(4) quaternion rotation. winnex_ai_server — SGLang-based LLM inference with 4-bit GPTQ quantization, 7-provider automatic failover chain (WireGuard → Winnex Local → DeepSeek → Z.ai → OpenAI → Anthropic → Google). PostgreSQL + pgVector for persistent state. Redis for L1/L2 cache with temporal decay.
The Winnex Madhava-Sec mathematical engine operates independently of the full Maestro stack. It is a drop-in compliance layer for any existing vector search infrastructure — FAISS, Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgVector. It wraps any existing index with Cauchy-Schwarz bound verification, generating per-document mathematical audit trails for every search query. Similarly, the Maestro JSON-driven engine can orchestrate business processes using external AI providers without requiring the Madhava engine. Two engagement models: (1) Implementation service into your existing stacks. (2) License of use under BSL 1.1 or commercial terms for ISVs, database vendors, and platform companies.
SAP, Oracle, Dynamics
FAISS, Pinecone, pgVector
AWS, GCP, Air-Gapped, Edge
Legal, Medical, Finance
The Maestro is the orchestration layer that injects the mathematical engines (Madhava, Spectral, Nano) into enterprise workflows. It is a JSON-driven engine that fits into legacy systems (SAP, Oracle, banking) without database migration — every module is a JSON entity defining schema, API routes, UI, and business logic.
Governance by construction: every autonomous action passes a deterministic validation gate — sandbox execution → Madhava Cauchy-Schwarz bound (~65 ms) → safety consensus → human validation (for regulated decisions) → commit with cryptographic audit (Ed25519 + SHA3-256). Multi-agent collaboration is facilitator-mediated with formal voting, dissent recording, and escalation to human authority for high-stakes decisions.

A truck does not lose to a race car because it is slower — it carries what the race car cannot carry. Winnex does not compete on the speed track. It competes on the road where the cargo is regulatory responsibility, the risk of a million-dollar fine, and the demand for proof in court. When the question is "how fast can you return an answer?", HNSW wins — and we say so plainly. When the question is "can you prove the answer is complete?", the race car has no cargo bay. The 45 ms vs. 65 ms gap is not a defect — it is the price of a proof that holds up in court.

Transparency, oversight, accuracy, record-keeping. Per-document mathematical proof, full decision trees, deterministic execution, cryptographic audit records. Madhava is the only technology meeting these requirements for vector search.
Right to review automated decisions. Every exclusion carries a recomputable mathematical proof. Answer: "Doc #42042: bound (0.2595) below threshold (0.4500) — provably excluded." This is the only vector search technology that can produce per-document proof — zero violations across 20M+ verified pairs (SIFT-1M, N=1M).
Madhava is ~20 ms slower than HNSW at high-recall on 100M (64.9ms vs 45.2ms). This is a deliberate architectural investment in mathematical certainty — not a bug. In regulated environments, this trade-off is a compliance requirement. For pure-speed workloads without compliance needs, FAISS HNSW is the appropriate tool. Madhava is not a universal FAISS replacement — it complements FAISS for regulated use cases where mathematical proof is required.
Mathematical-proof retrieval for regulated domains — four products, one provable core. Built on the Winnex Madhava engine and the shared Winnex tracer-gov audit framework. Pre-patent technical specification published on Zenodo (v4, 2026-08-06).

The Tracer benchmarks use small corpora (187–2,000 documents) by design — chosen for transparency and easy reproducibility on public Kaggle notebooks. At this scale, recall@10 = 1.0000 and 0 violations are equivalent to a linear scan with per-document bounds; they demonstrate correctness and auditability, not search speed. The Winnex Madhava engine itself operates on gigantic datasets — as demonstrated on BIGANN-100M (100 million vectors) at winnex-madhava-1-7-real-benchmark-vs-hnsw-ivf-pq. The GOV/JUS/MED/GAP tests can be run on larger corpora by swapping the dataset in the public notebooks.
The Cauchy-Schwarz bound proves exclusion from the top-K by vector similarity — it does not prove domain relevance. Ranking quality remains a function of the embedding model. Numerical rigor in float32 is handled by efficient filters — the engine calibrates bounds with an ε-slack (ε=1e-5) to stay rigorous against rounding. The Winnex stack also operates on real-time streaming data through Madhava Stream (mmap-based, processes 100M vectors in blocks). The evidence chain is tamper-evident, not tamper-proof against a root-capable attacker or HMAC-key compromise (external timestamping / public anchoring is on the roadmap). BSL 1.1 is source-available, not OSI open-source. These details are stated fully in the Zenodo specification.
Winnex released its Liferay integrations as public open repositories, in line with its publication policy. What began as a client implementation is now a reusable solution: any hospital, health plan, court, or oversight body running Liferay can adopt soundness-guaranteed retrieval without building the proof engine from scratch. Each integration ships as three OSGi bundles (api / service / portlet) plus a FastAPI microservice, with API-key security, a WORM audit trail, and compliance reports out of the box.
Your audit trail now records the decision the engine actually made — at the exact moment it made it. In 1.9.1 the per-document Cauchy-Schwarz certificate was re-architected from "recompute after the search" to "capture at the moment of pruning": the search engine itself records each excluded document's bound, residual, and threshold. The certificate you hand to a regulator is byte-for-byte identical to the engine's real decision — not a second, independent calculation that could drift. For regulated Liferay deployments this means a compliance record that is both more trustworthy (matches the actual retrieval exactly) and simpler to defend in an audit.
Honest note. The change was driven by a real defect the public benchmark exposed: the 1.9.0 certificate produced 462–973 false "excluded" records on arXiv embeddings (d=1536) — documents marked excluded that were actually in the true top-K. The 1.9.1 witness architecture fixes this at the root, and the follow-up benchmark shows 0 certificate violations and 100% consistency across GloVe, BIGANN, and arXiv. We publish both the bug and the fix because your trust depends on it.

Pareto Frontier Analysis
We operate in sectors where uncertainty generates astronomically high fines. Winnex AI transforms vector search from an IT problem into a Legal Defense asset — with mathematics, not promises. The result: lower risk and measurable savings.
Every excluded document carries a mathematical proof it could not be in the top-K — not a probabilistic guess. That turns a compliance risk into a defensible position:
Winnex replaces costly, slow, or wasteful infrastructure with measured gains:
Your enterprise needs cost-effective AI deployment. Winnex AI Engine distributes calls across 7 providers (WireGuard → Winnex Local → DeepSeek → Z.ai → OpenAI → Anthropic → Google) with automatic failover and per-provider cost optimization — routing to the most economical model for each task. AES-256-GCM API key encryption. No single vendor lock-in. Madhava-Sec further reduces spend by pruning up to 98.1% of LLM calls with a mathematical bound — you pay for what actually needs a model.
EU AI Act (Arts. 12-15), LGPD (Art. 20), GDPR (Art. 22), HIPAA. Winnex Madhava is the only vector search technology that generates mathematical proof per excluded document — not a probability, but a mathematical certainty recomputable by any auditor or court. SHA3-256 audit trails and Ed25519 signatures.
Deterministic search: same query + same data = same results, always. Every excluded document carries a per-document mathematical proof. Zero bound violations verified across 20M+ pairs — see the benchmarks for the measured results. Trust is not subjective — it is mathematical.
Tracer-Gov generates audit trails in three modes: SHA3-256 hash chain (business record), Ed25519 signed (court admissible), blockchain smart contract (regulatory). Every excluded document carries an auditable record: "Doc #42042: bound=0.2595 < threshold=0.4500 → PROVABLY OUTSIDE TOP-10".
Madhava is built for data that changes every 1–60 seconds — no graph to maintain means the index rebuilds in seconds, not hours. Memory-map the corpus instead of loading it into RAM, ingest continuously, and add Madhava's proof on top of the stack you already run (FAISS, Pinecone, pgVector, Elasticsearch, SAP, Oracle). How streaming works ↓
Vector search usually assumes a static index: you build it, you query it, and every change is a painful rebuild. Enterprise data is never static — ERPs, clinical records and legal repositories change every minute. Madhava was built for the moving corpus: instead of a graph to maintain, it keeps a math-only structure that can be rebuilt in the time other engines take to start rebuilding.
np.memmap): the raw vectors never need to live in RAM — a 12.8 GB corpus indexes with a small footprint.k2_max caps the exact post-filter so queries stay bounded even at 100M vectors.Per-query, an approximate index (HNSW/IVF) is faster. Madhava deliberately trades some latency for a per-document mathematical guarantee and a build that is 10–1000× faster — the right exchange when a missed document is a fine or a lost case, and when the corpus changes faster than a graph index can follow.
Ordinary vector search is probabilistic: an approximate index (HNSW, IVF, PQ) estimates what may be relevant — and can silently drop a document that mattered. Winnex Madhava does the opposite: for every document it discards, the engine emits a mathematical proof that the document was impossible to be in the top-K. Below is the same certificate the system actually produces — captured from the real engine, no illustrative numbers.
Clinical corpus of 40 records · metric=cosine · basis=pca_corpus · k=5. The certificate is a witness, not a recomputation: it captures the engine’s decision at the moment of pruning — byte-for-byte identical to what the search actually decided.
Honest note: the proof covers the soundness of pruning (nothing relevant was dropped by the filter). End-to-end semantic recall also depends on embedding quality and the prefilter — factors the proof does not control. Reproducible: the same corpus and query regenerate the same certificate byte-for-byte (deterministic).
The metric is not “marketing recall” — it is bound_violations == 0: no document within the proven bound was lost. Measured over 20M+ verified pairs (SIFT-1M, N=1M), not in a demo.
Madhava-Sec wraps FAISS, Pinecone, pgVector and others with bound verification — no rewrite. Keep your infrastructure, add the proof.
Same query + same data = same results, always. search_audited returns the per-document certificate. See repositories & benchmarks →
For an auditor, regulator, or court, the difference is between trusting the algorithm and verifying the decision. A log says “the document was pruned at stage 1.” A Winnex proof gives the mathematical why:
No document within the proven bound was lost in the search. bound_violations = 0 by construction — recomputable by any auditor.
It does not prove semantic relevance (that is the embedding model’s job) nor end-to-end recall. The proof is a necessary condition of defensibility, not a ranking-quality guarantee.
Right to review automated decisions. Every exclusion carries a recomputable proof — “why was my data not considered?” no longer ends with “the model decided.”
Special-category data (health — Art. 9). A SHA3-256 + Ed25519 audit trail gives the technical basis for meaningful compliance self-assessments.
The certificate exposes only the mathematical hash and performance metadata — never clinical content — keeping the verification flow privacy-compliant.
Deficient search methodology has produced seven-figure sanctions (e.g. Victor Stanley). A search with per-document proof turns procedural risk into a defensible position.
We built the mathematical core of Winnex with $0 of external capital over 24 months, prioritizing scientific validation over market hype. Now, with the engine proven and benchmarks public, we are seeking smart-capital partners to accelerate certifications (SOC2, ISO 27001) and go-to-market expansion in Europe and Latin America.
What the market sells as “audit logs,” Winnex delivers as mathematical proof per document — the regulatory-compliance layer banks, hospitals, law firms and governments will need under the EU AI Act, LGPD, GDPR and HIPAA. The engine is the core asset; the category is the edge.
Partners who bring operational leverage: enterprise sales networks, certification pathways, and go-to-market presence in Europe and Latin America.
The same resilience as founders who “sold their homes,” expressed with the discipline of validating the math before scaling. We are not selling control or a rushed exit.

We build enterprise math infrastructure. We also know the market. Here is an honest picture of where we stand, what we are building toward, and why the challenges ahead are opportunities for our clients.
The AI model ecosystem changes weekly — new quantizers, new inference frameworks, new providers. This is not a problem to solve; it is a design requirement we embraced from day one. The Winnex AI Engine distributes inference across 7 providers with automatic failover because no single model will solve every bottleneck. When DeepSeek releases a faster quantizer, it joins the chain. When a provider goes down, traffic routes transparently. When a new embedding model achieves better recall, it replaces the previous one without pipeline changes. The chain is designed to evolve. The mathematical proof layer — the Madhava-Sec bound verification — is provider-agnostic and model-agnostic. The guarantees do not change when the model changes.
The market is flooded with "AI Trust" and "AI Governance" solutions — most are simple audit logs wrapped in compliance language. Winnex AI is fundamentally different. Our technology does not log what happened; it mathematically proves why a document was excluded. A log says "document #42042 was pruned at stage 1." A Winnex proof says "document #42042 cannot be in top-K because its Cauchy-Schwarz upper bound (0.2595) is provably below threshold (0.4500)." This is not a feature improvement — it is a category difference. We recognize that educating CTOs and CISOs to distinguish mathematical proof from audit logging requires time and resources. That is why we provide technical briefings, proof-of-concept deployments, and direct engineering support — we do not expect you to take our word for it. Run the benchmarks. Audit the code. Verify the proof.
Selling to regulated sectors — banking, healthcare, legal, government — means long sales cycles (6-18 months), rigorous SLAs, SOC2 and ISO 27001 certifications, and 24/7 support requirements. We are transparent: our origin is a research-driven team, not a multinational corporation. What we offer instead of enterprise overhead is direct engineering access. When you license Winnex AI, you work with the team that built the engine. Your POC is deployed by the same engineers who wrote the C++20 code. Your compliance documentation is reviewed by the same researcher who proved the Cauchy-Schwarz bounds. We are not a sales team reading a spec sheet. As we grow, we are building toward SOC2 certification, dedicated SLAs, and a specialized post-sale engineering team — because our clients in regulated sectors require it, and we are committed to delivering it. The technology is ready. The infrastructure is being built around it — with our clients, not ahead of them.
Winnex AI is a Brazilian research-driven company building the mathematical trust infrastructure for the regulated enterprise AI market — a market being created by the most consequential AI regulation in history. We are seeking strategic partners, investors, incubators, and accelerators to capture it.
The AI industry is moving from "what can we build?" to "how do we govern what we built?" We are building the infrastructure for the next decade of AI — where mathematical proof replaces probabilistic confidence.
FAISS is free from Meta. Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Milvus compete on sub-millisecond latency. Margins are thin. Winnex does not compete here.

We have the technology. We have the proofs. We need partners to capture the regulated enterprise market before the compliance wave hits. We are transparent about our origin and ambitious about our destination.
We are not building a hosted product with thousands of small subscriptions. Our business model is the one large regulated enterprises actually buy: engine licensing + implementation services for large players — banks, governments, hospitals, law firms, and the ISVs, database vendors, and platform companies that serve them. We sell the Madhava engine as a licensed component, and we deploy it through direct engineering services into existing stacks.
This is precisely why we seek investors: the engine is built and mathematically proven — the capital goes to what a licensing model requires. Enterprise certifications (SOC2, ISO 27001), the long sales cycles of regulated buyers, and the go-to-market reach that turns proven technology into a licensing business. We are not asking investors to fund another product race. We are asking them to fund the distribution of a proof.
Capital for engineering (C++/Rust core), certification (SOC2, ISO 27001), and go-to-market. We retain control and IP.
License the Madhava core to Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant as a compliance layer. Every vector database becomes audit-ready.
Partner with Big Four (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG) or cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) to reach regulated enterprise clients.
Winnex is a deep-tech journey built by a multidisciplinary team of collaborators. We welcome incubators, accelerators, and development programs that provide market access, certification support, sales enablement, and regulatory networks in Europe and Latin America — precisely the traction we do not yet have. Reach us at info@winnex.ai.
The honest picture: a deep-tech journey built by a multidisciplinary team, a working C++ engine, and verified mathematical guarantees. We have not yet proven we can sell it at scale — that is the gap true investors fill.
Winnex is not asking investors to bet on a feature. We are building the regulatory compliance layer for the age of algorithmic accountability — the infrastructure that every regulated enterprise will need. We seek partners who understand that the EU AI Act, LGPD, GDPR, and HIPAA are not the end of regulation. They are the beginning. In five years, every enterprise AI system in a regulated environment will need to justify its decisions. The question is which technology will provide the infrastructure. We believe Madhava is that infrastructure.
We built the mathematical core of Winnex with $0 of external capital over 24 months, prioritizing scientific validation over market hype. Now, with the engine proven and benchmarks public, we are seeking smart-capital partners to accelerate certifications (SOC2, ISO 27001) and go-to-market expansion in Europe and Latin America.
We are not looking to sell control or rush an exit — we are looking for partners who bring the operational leverage we do not yet have: enterprise sales networks, regulatory and certification pathways (SOC2, ISO 27001, EU AI Act conformity), and go-to-market presence in Europe and Latin America. We welcome conversations with investors aligned with a long-horizon, deep-tech thesis.
Investors should see Winnex Madhava as the primary asset — the mathematically guaranteed search engine. Madhava-Sec is a drop-in layer, not a replacement: it wraps FAISS, Pinecone, pgVector, and other standard tools with bound verification, so teams keep their infrastructure and add the mathematical proof. We sell proof, not a rewrite.

We chose to move deliberately and prove things mathematically. Every vector search system was a black box. We asked: what would it take to build a search engine that could defend its decisions in court? The answer was a deep-tech research journey — Riemannian HMC on S^(d-1), PiPrime anchors, QR-orthogonalized JL projections, Cauchy-Schwarz upper bounds, error backpropagation modulation, and six transparently documented bug correction cycles. It took a set of collaborators — and 24 months of disciplined, self-funded research with $0 of external capital.
16,000+ lines of documented code · Definitive benchmark (16 methods, 12 metrics, 3 datasets) · Zero bound violations across 20M+ verified pairs · Research open on Zenodo and Kaggle, including honest reads of our own limits.
Native C++/Rust core targeting sub-0.3ms (4-6 months) · Enterprise connectors: PostgreSQL/pgVector, Snowflake, Databricks, Elastic, OpenSearch · SOC2 Type II, ISO 27001, EU AI Act conformity certification.

Winnex is headquartered in Brazil, but our technology was built for the world's most demanding regulatory environments — and Europe is where that demand is highest and most urgent.
The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive AI law — and it applies to any organization deploying high-risk AI systems in the EU, regardless of headquarters. European enterprises face the first binding deadlines:
February 2025: prohibited practices in force
August 2025: general-purpose AI obligations
August 2026: GPAI transparency rules
August 2027: high-risk Annex III systems
August 2028: high-risk integrated products

The timing is aligned. Banks, hospitals, law firms, and government agencies across Europe must demonstrate that their AI systems are transparent, auditable, and mathematically justifiable. No existing technology can prove search completeness. Winnex can — and has, with zero bound violations across 20M+ verified pairs. The first-mover window is now.
Brazil's LGPD is structurally aligned with GDPR. The mathematics of provable search is jurisdiction-agnostic. Winnex builds infrastructure for the global regulated enterprise market — headquartered in Goiânia, engineered for Europe's regulatory frontier, and ready to deploy wherever AI governance demands proof.
In May 2026, the Regional Court of Munich ruled that Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words — making the operator directly liable for false answers, with 80% of legal costs on Google and possible international reach. The court rejected Google's defenses: "users can check for themselves" does not exempt liability, and an AI's output is "the result of an algorithm," not protected speech. Source →
The implication: when an AI excludes a document, the operator must be able to prove why. HNSW cannot. Madhava can — with a per-document mathematical proof.
Winnex is a Brazilian deep-tech company with LGPD alignment that maps directly to GDPR. We are studying entry into the European market with an initial focus on Spain and Portugal — where regulatory pressure, EU AI Act enforcement, and the language/cultural bridge to Brazil make adoption fastest. Our product is ready to scale into Europe's regulated enterprise market.
Large enterprises have extreme aversion to buying deep tech from startups without security audits. To serve banks (Tracer-GAP) and hospitals (Tracer-MED), Winnex is pursuing SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications — and will reach the right customers through the right partners: established SI integrators, consultancies, and platform vendors that already hold enterprise trust. The mathematical moat is built; the certification moat is next.
