AI & Security Consulting for consulting & accounting firms
Sabouri.org designs, builds and secures self-hosted agentic AI for consulting and accounting firms that cannot put client files, ledgers or privileged work in someone else's cloud. Retrieval, deterministic computation, document generation and fail-closed access control — on your own hardware, with zero external API calls.
Headline figures are from our current production system. We've been shipping self-hosted AI for years — on hardware from 8 GB consumer cards to 96 GB GPUs, sized to the workload, never to a cloud bill.
The market problem
A retrieval-augmented agent takes about two weeks to demo and about a year to make trustworthy. The gap between those numbers is where projects lose client confidence and quietly get shelved — because production breaks through a finite set of failure modes that all look like the system working: a confident answer, a clean citation, a plausible number. Nothing throws. The client finds it.
We've already hit those failures, diagnosed them against real data, measured the fix, and shipped it — so your first client engagement isn't where you learn them.
How we build
The difference isn't taste — it's whether anyone can tell a tuning win from a lucky sample, and whether a figure on a board deck can be traced to the row it came from.
Yes — AI wrote much of this platform, and much of this page. Under engineering discipline: tests first, measured thresholds, every change reviewed. That's the entire thesis. Ungoverned, these tools produce the six failures on the Proof page; governed, they produce a system you can put in front of a client's books. We sell the governance.
What we do
For consulting firms standing up an AI practice without burning the first client engagement learning the hard failures — and for accounting and professional-services firms that want AI over their own ledgers, workpapers and correspondence without any of it leaving the building.
Retrieval over your firm's workpapers and correspondence, deterministic computation over your ledgers, document generation and per-client access control — delivered with your engineers in the code, not watching. You keep the system, the tests, and the reasoning behind every threshold in it.
Engagements & the 90-day method → SecureRuntime guardrails for prompt injection, jailbreak, model poisoning and extraction; context-aware DLP over prompt traffic; shadow-AI discovery and governance — mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications. We defend these controls for a living and build to them.

About the principal →Fair questions
A pitch that only lists strengths is a pitch you can't trust. Here are the hard ones, answered straight.
We've built self-hosted AI for years, across hardware from 8 GB to 96 GB — the figures here are the current system, not the first. One production build a client runs daily beats ten demos, and the six failures on Proof are exactly what depth buys that a portfolio of pilots never will. The engagement puts your engineers in the code, so you buy a capability, not a dependency on our sample size.
You own the system, the tests and the reasoning behind every threshold. No licence, no lock-in, nothing that lives only on our calendar. The hand-over and fractional-lead models exist precisely so the capability survives us — it lands in your team, which is the design goal, not a risk we're hiding. And every build ships with an embedded self-coder that handles the day-to-day questions and routine fixes itself: we're your Tier 3, not your help desk.
Vendor-neutral by construction. Everything we build runs on open components you host yourself; there's no product resale and no referral fee. The certifications are depth, not a sales channel — the security opinion is the deliverable, and we'll put the vendor-independent version of it in writing.
Right-sized to your actual workload — an 8 GB card for a small firm, more when it earns it — delivered with a runbook and your engineers trained to operate it, plus an optional retainer for design authority. For privileged work, on-prem isn't a preference; it's the entry requirement, and we make it operable, not just private. The built-in self-coder answers and fixes routine issues in place, with Sabouri.org on tap as Tier 3 and continued-assurance for the rest.
Every figure is computed deterministically and shows its work; the system refuses rather than guesses when it can't; and a qualified professional stays in the loop as the signer. It's a reviewed tool inside your existing accountability — not an oracle you're asked to trust. Numbers are computed, not narrated.
In part — and that's the point. AI wrote much of the platform and this page, under tests, review and measured thresholds. Governed, these tools build something you can defend in front of a regulator; ungoverned, they build the six failures. Governance is the product.
The honest version
The demand is already in your pipeline. The only real question is whether your first client engagement is the thing that teaches you the expensive failures — or whether you've already got someone who has paid for that education.
