Every engagement starts the same way: understanding how the organisation actually works — not just the data, but the people, decisions, constraints, and histories that shape how things get done.
Every complex organisation runs on concepts that live informally — in people's heads, in spreadsheets, in disconnected systems. Different teams picture the same concepts differently, and that invisible misalignment slows everything down. Structured discovery turns it into an ontological model: the objects that matter, the relationships between them, and the actions taken on them. It's the foundation for everything we build — and it belongs to you at the end.
People, assets, cases, risks, events, workflows — the things that matter, made explicit and formally defined.
Who owns what, what depends on what, which teams touch which data. The hidden structure, made visible.
Create, assign, assess, escalate, resolve. The workflows and decisions the system must support.
Our accumulated experience across complex global organisations — compounded by AI — means what used to take months now takes days.
We analyse existing data, documents, and workflows to produce an initial operational model — fast.
Working prototypes connected to your actual workflows and data — not toy demos.
AI integrated throughout, creating symbiotic human-and-agent workflows rather than bolt-ons.
Foundry's architecture and our familiarity with it strip out most infrastructure overhead — production-ready from the start.
We build on Palantir Foundry — giving clients enterprise-grade security, scalability, and data infrastructure without the overhead of procuring or managing it. As a founding member of Palantir's Foundry for Builders program, we were among the first startups to deploy Foundry, and we've built on it ever since.

We host and deliver on our own infrastructure. You work with purpose-built applications while keeping control of your data and key operational functions.
A clear objective, and an explicit conversation about what comes next — agreed before we start.
Every engagement produces operational capability that belongs to the organisation. What you own depends on the engagement — sometimes everything we build, sometimes a licensed solution for a narrowly defined problem. We agree which, up front.
A structured, queryable map of your operational environment — built during discovery, yours to build on.
Complete lineage and governance. Data flowing from source to decision, reliably and auditably.
Designed for your users and their workflows — not generic software adapted to fit.
Intelligence layered onto your operational data — specific to your business, not applied from outside.
SSO, role-based access, encryption, audit logging. Production-grade from day one.
Own and operate, work with us long term, or license a proven solution — agreed before we start.
Tell us the operational problem that matters most. We'll be direct about whether Hence is the right fit — and if there's a match, we'll have prototypes in your hands within weeks.
