## Why Enterprise Teams Choose CVC

### The Enterprise AI Challenge

As AI agents write 30–50% of new production code, enterprises face critical gaps:

- **No audit trail** — regulators ask "what was the AI thinking?" and there's no answer
- **No cost visibility** — LLM API spend is a black box growing month over month
- **No crash recovery** — lost sessions cost developer hours and API dollars
- **No knowledge sharing** — each developer's AI operates in isolation
- **No compliance** — SOX, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 require traceability

CVC closes every one of these gaps.

## Enterprise Features

### 1. Tamper-Proof Audit Trail

Every AI decision is recorded in a **Merkle DAG** — the same cryptographic data structure used by Git and blockchain. This means:

- **Immutable history** — past decisions cannot be altered without detection
- **Complete traceability** — every commit links to its parent, forming an unbreakable chain
- **Compliance-ready export** — JSON and CSV reports for auditors
- **Temporal queries** — "what did the AI decide between Jan 15 and Feb 28?"

```bash
cvc audit --from 2026-01-01 --to 2026-03-31 --risk-level high --export audit-q1.json
```

### 2. Compliance Scoring

CVC calculates a compliance score (0–100%) for every session based on:

- Percentage of operations that were checkpointed
- Presence of high-risk operations without prior commits
- Audit trail completeness
- Risk event logging

### 3. Cost Analytics & Control

Track LLM spending across your entire team:

| Metric | Visibility |
|---|---|
| **Per-developer cost** | Token usage and API spend per developer |
| **Per-session cost** | Input/output tokens, cache hits, total cost |
| **Per-model cost** | Compare spending across Claude, GPT, Gemini |
| **Team aggregates** | Monthly/quarterly spend trends |
| **Cache efficiency** | Percentage of tokens served from cache |

Prompt caching delivers **~90% cost reduction** on session restores — at enterprise scale, this translates to tens of thousands of dollars saved monthly.

### 4. Multi-Workspace Support

Enterprise teams work across many repositories. CVC supports:

- **Per-workspace `.cvc/` databases** — each project has its own cognitive history
- **Cross-workspace search** — find solutions from any project
- **Workspace-aware memory** — the AI knows which project it's in
- **Isolated experiments** — branches in one workspace don't affect another

### 5. Provider Flexibility & Negotiation Leverage

CVC supports **4 LLM providers** with a clean adapter architecture:

| Provider | Models |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | Claude Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5 |
| OpenAI | GPT-5.2, GPT-5.2-Codex, GPT-5-mini, GPT-4.1 |
| Google | Gemini 3.1 Pro, 3 Pro, 3 Flash |
| Ollama | Any local model (zero API cost) |

**Enterprise benefit:** No vendor lock-in. Negotiate better rates with providers knowing you can switch at any time. Run sensitive workloads on local Ollama models with zero cloud exposure.

### 6. Security & Privacy

- **100% local storage** — all data stays on your infrastructure
- **No telemetry** — CVC collects zero usage data
- **No cloud dependency** — works fully offline with Ollama
- **Air-gapped deployment** — for classified or highly sensitive projects
- **Content-addressed storage** — integrity verification built into the data structure
- **Zstandard compression** — efficient, secure storage of cognitive snapshots

### 7. Team Knowledge Graph

CVC transforms isolated AI sessions into a team-wide knowledge base:

- **Semantic search across all team sessions** — "how did anyone solve rate limiting?"
- **Knowledge transfer** between developers via `cvc inject`
- **Onboarding acceleration** — new team members inherit cognitive history
- **Decision archaeology** — trace why architectural decisions were made

### 8. Integration with Enterprise Tooling

CVC integrates with the tools enterprise teams already use:

| Category | Integrations |
|---|---|
| **IDEs** | VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ (via MCP) |
| **AI Tools** | Claude Code, Copilot, Aider, Codex, Cline, Roo Code, Continue.dev |
| **VCS** | Git (automatic, bidirectional) |
| **CI/CD** | Any pipeline (CLI commands) |
| **Compliance** | JSON/CSV export for SIEM, GRC tools |

---

## Deployment Options

### Option 1: Developer-Local (Default)

Every developer installs CVC locally. Cognitive databases live in `.cvc/` per workspace. Zero infrastructure required.

```bash
pip install tm-ai
```

**Best for:** Small teams, individual productivity, proof of concept.

### Option 2: Shared Infrastructure

CVC databases on shared network storage or NFS mounts. Team members access the same cognitive history.

**Best for:** Teams wanting shared knowledge without cloud dependency.

### Option 3: CVC Cloud (Coming Q3 2026)

Managed cloud service for team synchronization:

- **Push/pull** cognitive state like Git push/pull
- **Web dashboard** for cost analytics, session replay, team metrics
- **Role-based access control** for cognitive history
- **SSO integration** (SAML, OIDC)
- **SOC 2 Type II** compliance

**Best for:** Distributed teams, enterprise-scale deployment.
