Proof point · Huntaegis

Huntaegis is a cybersecurity-intelligence platform running this codebase, fully rebranded with its own database, taxonomy and social accounts. It reads 354 security-specialist sources and runs the same A.R.C. analysis on every threat report. Arc Codex and Huntaegis are the same codebase, run continuously.

How it's delivered

• One engineer

  One pre-sales engineer, working with AI assistance, delivers the setup. No sprint team, no consulting layer.

• Day one

  Rebrand and reconfigure (sources, taxonomy, domain, palette, social accounts) takes an afternoon.

• Days two to five

  The first-week add-ons you chose are wired in, plus any bespoke work you scoped on the call.

• Self-hosted

  Runs on infrastructure you control: Flask, Next.js, Redis and Solr fit on one workstation-class server; Ollama runs on a LAN host you assign.

• Your inference, your rules

  Analysis runs on your hardware first, with an optional, budgeted escalation to a larger cloud model for public feed stories only; a local-only mode switches the cloud off entirely.

A scoping call, [CALL LENGTH — Ross]. We cover:

• Your source list: what you read today and what you want to read.
• Your taxonomy: the topics (directives) the feed is organised around.
